- Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?
- Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a mined diamond. Only its origin differs, and a jeweler can tell them apart with specialized equipment.
- What does total carat weight mean here?
- The 1.50ct to 2.50ct figure is the combined weight of the center stone and the cluster stones. The center princess cut is smaller than that total, so ask for the center stone's individual weight.
- How does a princess cut compare with a round brilliant?
- A princess cut is square with a brilliant-style facet pattern, so it costs less per carat than a round and looks more modern. Round brilliants throw slightly more fire and hide inclusions better.
- Will the cluster setting snag on clothing?
- A cluster sits lower and has more edges than a plain solitaire, so it can catch on knits. The square corners of a princess cut are the most exposed part and benefit from prong protection.
- How should I care for a lab grown diamond ring?
- Clean it with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, and have the prongs checked once a year. Diamonds are hard but can chip at the corners, and small cluster stones can loosen.
