Honestly, it depends on a few things.
My Setup
I wear mine every day, including to the gym and to sleep. After a year and a half it still looks brand new.
What to Watch Out For
- Buy from a reputable seller, not a random listing
- Ask about the color grade before you order
- Get a certificate of authenticity
My only regret is not sizing up slightly. It fits snug now that winter is coming.
Let me break this down clearly. My ring came from Charles & Colvard with a full certificate. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.
This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

L Lisa Robinson last monthDoes the same apply to plated pieces?
I talked to my jeweler about this last month.
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.
