Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?

Yes. It is chemically and optically the same as a mined diamond, just grown in a lab. It grades on the same color and clarity scales.

Why choose an oval over a round?

An oval faces up larger than a round of the same carat weight and makes the finger look longer. It also hides inclusions well because of its shape.

E is near-colorless, among the top grades. VVS2 means very, very slightly included, with flaws hard to see even under magnification.

Clean it with mild soap and warm water and a soft brush. Have a jeweler check the prongs on the center and side stones once or twice a year.

A jeweler can usually resize a 14K gold band, but three-stone rings with side diamonds can limit how far. Ask about resizing before you buy.
