Is moissanite a real gemstone?

Short answer:

Step by Step

1. Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
2. Check the return policy on the listing
3. Order a size slightly larger if unsure
4. Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
5. Store separately to avoid scratches

I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.

Short answer: A friend of mine got hers from Blue Nile and loves it. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Good thinking asking this before buying.

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.

I have had mine for over two years now. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.
