- Is an I1 clarity diamond a problem?
- I1 means inclusions are noticeable at close range, and princess cuts show them more than round stones. Many buyers accept this for a bigger-looking stone; check the certificate and view it in person if you can.
- Why does the setting have V-tip prongs?
- Princess-cut corners are sharp and chip-prone. V-tip prongs wrap each corner, which protects the stone better than standard round prongs.
- Will the white gold stay white?
- The rhodium plating gives the bright white look but wears with daily wear. Plan on re-plating every year or two to keep it looking new.
- Can I wear it every day?
- Yes, 14K gold is durable enough for daily wear. Princess corners are the weak point, so avoid hard knocks and have prongs checked yearly.
- Does it come with a certificate?
- The stone is certified, so ask for the grading report with the ring. Keep it for insurance and for confirming color and clarity.
- Will a straight wedding band sit flush with it?
- A plain solitaire usually sits close to a straight band, but the V-tip setting can leave a small gap. Try bands alongside the ring before buying.
