- Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?
- Yes. It is chemically and optically the same as a mined diamond, grown in a lab rather than dug from the ground. The IGI certificate confirms its grades.
- What do E color and VVS2 clarity mean?
- E is near colorless, just below the top D grade. VVS2 means very, very slightly included, with tiny inclusions hard to see under magnification. Together they make a bright, clean looking stone.
- How does this compare with a mined diamond solitaire?
- It looks the same to the eye and carries the same grades, but a lab grown stone of this size and quality costs far less than a mined one. It also resells for much less.
- Is the six prong setting secure?
- Six prongs hold the diamond at more points than a four prong setting, which many jewelers consider more secure. It also adds a little visible metal around the edge.
- What comes with the ring?
- The ring, an IGI certification for the center diamond, an appraisal, and a lifetime warranty.
- Can the ring be resized?
- A plain 14k gold solitaire band can usually be resized by a jeweler. Ask about sizing before you order, since the setting and warranty terms may affect it.
