- Is a princess-cut diamond a good choice for an engagement ring?
- Yes, if you like sharp, geometric sparkle. The square shape gives a distinctive look and a large face for its carat weight. Its pointed corners are more exposed than a round stone's, so a secure prong setting matters.
- How does a lab-grown diamond compare with a natural one?
- It is chemically and optically the same as a mined diamond, with the same hardness and sparkle. It costs less and is traceable, but it resells for much less than a natural stone of the same size.
- What do F color and VS2 clarity mean?
- F is near-colorless, so the stone looks white rather than tinted. VS2 means very slightly included, with flaws too small to see without magnification. Together they give a clean, bright look.
- Will the split shank make the ring hard to resize?
- Split shank bands are more complex to resize than a plain band because of the two joined shoulders. Ask a jeweler to check the size before ordering and to handle any resizing.
- What is in the box?
- The ring itself, made to order in 14K white gold. Ask the seller about a certificate for the center stone and any gift packaging before you buy.
- How should I care for it?
- Clean it with mild soap and warm water and a soft brush, and have the prongs checked once a year. Take it off for gym sessions, gardening and cleaning to protect the corners of the princess cut.
