Honestly, it depends on a few things. I ordered from Pandora online. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

Good thinking asking this before buying. A friend of mine got hers from Pandora and loves it. 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.

Quick summary first, then details:

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.

After trying several options myself, Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
