Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring vs Solitaire 2 Carat Princess Cut Lab Grown Ring

Buy the Rosec Jewels 2-carat princess cut if you want a large, certified center stone and a modern square look. Buy the 0.25 ct round solitaire if you want a smaller, classic ring in 14k yellow gold that suits everyday wear. The 2-carat ring wins on stone size, certification and documentation. The 0.25 ct ring wins on metal clarity, since it states 14k gold, while the 2-carat listing does not name its metal or purity. Owners of both styles report that prong-set solitaires need periodic tightening, and a 2-carat stone sits higher and catches more on clothing.

• Choose the 0.25 ct round solitaire if you want a modest, classic round brilliant in a stated 14k yellow gold band for a low-key ring.
• Choose the 2-carat princess cut if you want a big, IGI-certified E color VS1 stone and a modern square silhouette.
