Which has the better diamond?

The Johanne. Its stones are graded VS-VVS clarity and DEF color, while the Lana is SI clarity with no color grade stated.

Is the Lana worth $1,795?

Only if you specifically want a natural diamond in a heart pendant. You pay a large premium for the natural stone and the design over the Johanne's higher-grade lab-grown diamond.

Which chain fits better?

The Johanne. It adjusts to 16, 17 or 18 inches, so it works over different necklines. The Lana comes only at 16 inches.

Do lab-grown diamonds look different?

No. They are chemically and optically the same as natural diamonds. The difference is origin and resale value, not appearance.

Both are 14k gold and will hold up for years. The Johanne's spring clasp is the weaker point; a lobster claw is more secure.

Can I get a bigger stone in the Johanne?

Yes. It comes in 0.115, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 ct. The Lana's carat weight is not stated.
