Great question. I went with Amazon on Etsy and saved a lot. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

I went through this exact decision last year. I have heard good things about Etsy, but I personally used James Allen. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

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

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. My jeweler recommended Etsy. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

After trying several options myself,

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.
