After trying several options myself,

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 will give you the straight answer. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I bought mine from Brilliant Earth for about $300. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

This is one of the most common questions I see here. I ordered from Brilliant Earth online. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

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