Is half a ring size a big difference? Edited

I will give you the straight answer.

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.

Good thinking asking this before buying.

My Setup

I wear mine every day, including to the gym and to sleep. After a year and a half it still looks brand new.

What to Watch Out For

• Buy from a reputable seller, not a random listing
• Ask about the color grade before you order
• Get a certificate of authenticity

My only regret is not sizing up slightly. It fits snug now that winter is coming.

Let me break this down clearly. My ring came from Blue Nile with a full certificate. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
