Here is what I have found after researching for weeks.

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.

This is one of the most common questions I see here. My ring came from Etsy with a full certificate. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

I went through this exact decision last year. I went with Brilliant Earth on Etsy and saved a lot. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
