Based on my experience: I went with Blue Nile on Etsy and saved a lot. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

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

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.

This is one of the most common questions I see here. I compared Pandora and Etsy before deciding. 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.

Short answer: I bought mine from Pandora for about $300. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

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