4Ct Oval Solitaire Lab Grown Diamond Ring vs Pompeii3 3Ct Cushion Lab Diamond Solitaire Ring

Buy the 4 ct oval if you want maximum size and a certified stone with a stated color and clarity grade. Buy the Pompeii3 3 ct cushion if you prefer a softer, squarer shape and a sturdier platinum setting. Both are solitaires in 14k gold with lab-grown stones in the VS range, so the real choice is shape, size and metal. Owners of both report a bright, clean stone; the oval reads larger on the hand, while the cushion hides inclusions better and looks more vintage.

• Choose the 4 ct oval solitaire if you want the biggest look, an oval that flatters short fingers, and a certificate with the stone.
• Choose the Pompeii3 3 ct cushion if you like the cushion's softer square outline and want a platinum-set ring built to last.
