Quick summary first, then details: Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

Short answer: I bought mine from Brilliant Earth for about $800. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

I will give you the straight answer.

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.

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.
