Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?

Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure and hardness as a mined diamond, and only a gemologist's equipment can tell them apart. It is not a simulant like cubic zirconia.

How does the price compare with a mined-diamond ring?

A mined oval of similar size and VS clarity in 18K gold typically costs several times more. Lab-grown stones trade at a steep discount, which is why this ring lands near $3,252.

What sizes are available?

Sizes 4 through 8 in half steps. The listing also shows an OS option, which usually means the ring can be ordered in a special size.

Will the pavé stones fall out?

Pavé settings hold small stones by tiny prongs or beads, and they can loosen with daily wear. Have a jeweler check the setting once a year and avoid knocking the band against hard surfaces.

Is white gold or rose gold better for this ring?

White gold makes the colorless diamond look whiter and suits a classic look. Rose gold warms the stone slightly and hides scratches better over time.

When is the best time to buy?

Bridal jewelry sees discounts around Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and the winter holidays. With only one new listing tracked, watch for store-wide sales rather than waiting on this ring alone.
