Honestly, it depends on a few things. A friend of mine got hers from Brilliant Earth and loves it. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

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

Let me break this down clearly. I have heard good things about Blue Nile, but I personally used Etsy. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

Let me break this down clearly.

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.
