Honestly, it depends on a few things.
What My Jeweler Said
My bench jeweler told me the main thing people regret is skimping on the setting. The stone itself is fine, but a weak prong will let it fall out. Spend a bit more on a solid setting.
Bottom Line
Yes, it is worth it for most people. Just buy from a known seller and inspect the prongs every six months.

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. My jeweler recommended Blue Nile. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.
Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.
