Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?

Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure as a mined diamond and tests as one. It is grown in a lab rather than formed underground, which is why it costs less.

How does a 5 carat oval compare to a round?

An oval of the same weight faces up larger and longer on the finger. It also spreads light differently, with more of a crushed-ice look than a round's sharp sparkle.

Will SI1-SI2 clarity be visible?

At 5 carats, inclusions are easier to see than in a smaller stone. Many are eye-clean, but ask for the grading report or photos before buying.

Can this ring be resized?

Rings with diamonds set around the band usually can only be resized slightly, often a half size or so. Check the size 5 fit before ordering.

What comes in the box?

Expect the ring and a jewelry box. A lab grown diamond grading report is often included, but confirm it with the seller.

When is the best time to buy?

Engagement rings see discounts around Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and the winter holidays. With only one new price listed, watch for a drop below $2,499.99.

About the Macy's 5 1/2 CT. T.W. Lab Grown White Diamond 14K Gold Oval Side Stone Engagement Ring, Size 5

A 14K white gold engagement ring with a 5 carat oval lab grown diamond center stone and 38 smaller side stones, 5 1/2 carats total. The SI1-SI2 clarity and GH color are modest grades for a stone this size, so inclusions and warmth may be visible up close. At $2,499.99 at JCPenney as of November 8, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so there is no recent range to compare against.
