Questions and answers
- Which ring looks bigger on the hand?
- The lab-grown solitaire. Its 1 ct heart is roughly twice the carat weight of the 1/2 ct, 5 x 5 mm stone in the 14K ring.
- Which is better for daily wear?
- The 14K white gold ring. It is lighter, sits lower at 5.86 mm, and its closed-back setting protects the stone's underside.
- Is the lab-grown diamond real?
- Yes. It is a lab-grown diamond with the same carbon structure as a mined one, and it comes IGI certified in F color and SI2 clarity.
- Does the 14K ring state its diamond quality?
- No. The page gives carat weight and size but no color or clarity grade, so ask the jeweler before buying.
- Can I get the lab-grown ring in yellow gold or platinum?
- Yes. It comes in white, yellow or rose gold from 10K to 18K, plus 925/935 silver and 950 platinum.
- Which lasts longer?
- Both are durable. 14K gold and platinum resist wear better than silver, so pick a gold or platinum version of either ring for long-term daily use.
