- 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 a gemologist's equipment can tell them apart.
- How does a princess cut compare with a round brilliant?
- A princess cut is square with pointed corners and a different facet pattern, so it sparkles in broader flashes rather than the round's fine brilliance. It usually shows a larger face for the same carat weight.
- Will the pointed corners chip?
- Princess cut corners are the most exposed part of the stone. A setting that protects the corners and careful wear reduce the risk, but knocks against hard surfaces can damage them.
- Does 14k white gold need maintenance?
- Most white gold is rhodium plated for a bright white finish. The plating wears with daily wear and is typically re-applied every year or two.
- Can this ring be resized?
- A plain solitaire band in white gold can usually be resized by a jeweler. Sizing across the diamond setting is more limited, so ask before buying if you need a large change.
- What should I check when it arrives?
- Confirm the stamp reads 14k, check the diamond's certificate or grading report for carat and clarity, and inspect the prongs and corners for tight, even settings.
