Based on my experience: I bought mine from Amazon for about $1,500. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

Great question.
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.
