Honestly, it depends on a few things. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

Here is my honest take after owning one. My jeweler recommended Amazon. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. I went with Charles & Colvard 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.
