This is one of the most common questions I see here. I compared Brilliant Earth and Brilliant Earth before deciding. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.
It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.
Short answer:
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.
Good thinking asking this before buying.

I will give you the straight answer. I bought mine from Brilliant Earth for about $5,000. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
