Honestly, it depends on a few things. My jeweler recommended Amazon. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.
Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

I have had mine for over two years now.
Step by Step
- Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
- Check the return policy on the listing
- Order a size slightly larger if unsure
- Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
- Store separately to avoid scratches
I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.
Here is what I have found after researching for weeks.
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.
