I went through this exact decision last year.

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 went through this exact decision last year. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Here is my honest take after owning one. I bought mine from Brilliant Earth for about $8,000. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.
