Based in the US if that changes shipping advice. Would appreciate any links to reputable sellers.

Good thinking asking this before buying. I went with Amazon on Etsy and saved a lot. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Let me break this down clearly.

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 will give you the straight answer. My ring came from Brilliant Earth with a full certificate. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

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