Based on my experience: I ordered from Etsy online. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. My jeweler recommended Brilliant Earth. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.
I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.
I have had mine for over two years now.
What I Noticed
The sparkle is actually more brilliant than a diamond in my opinion, especially under indoor lighting. Up close, nobody has ever guessed it was not a natural stone.
Cost
I paid $300 including the setting. A comparable natural diamond would have been at least five times that. The price difference is the main reason most people go this route.
Durability
It is still going strong after two years. I clean it once a month with warm soapy water and a soft brush. No scratches, no cloudiness.
Who This Is For
- Great if you want maximum sparkle on a budget
- Great if you do not care about resale value
- Skip it if you want something that holds investment value
