Which ring looks bigger?

The JDG ring. Its 1.04 CT heart is roughly twice the carat weight of the iTouch 1/2 CT stone, so it will read larger on the hand.

Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically and physically diamonds, just grown in a lab. They cost less and resell for less than natural stones of the same size.

Which is better for everyday wear?

Both are 14K gold and fine for daily wear. The iTouch ring's closed-back, low-profile setting protects the stone's underside, while the JDG ring's prong setting leaves more of the stone exposed to knocks.

Does either come with a warranty?

JDG Jewelers states a lifetime warranty on all items. The iTouch Diamonds listing states no warranty.

Can I resize or customize either ring?

iTouch Diamonds says any element can be customized, so resizing and metal changes are possible. JDG states no customization or resizing policy.

Is the JDG ring worth the extra cost?

Compare the live prices first. If the JDG ring costs less than twice the iTouch price, you get double the carat weight, certification and a warranty, which is strong value.
