Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?

Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a mined diamond. The difference is origin: it was grown in a lab rather than formed underground.

Does a 4 carat oval look bigger than a round?

Yes. An oval spreads its weight across a longer shape, so it faces up larger than a round of the same carat weight. It also makes the finger look longer.

What is a bow-tie in an oval diamond?

A dark shadow across the middle of the stone caused by light leaking out. Most ovals show some bow-tie; a well-cut stone keeps it faint and narrow.

Will a stone this size sit high on the finger?

Yes. A 4 carat oval needs a tall setting, so the ring sits proud of the hand and can catch on sleeves and gloves. A low-profile or bezel setting reduces this.

How should I care for it?

Clean it with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, and have the prongs checked once or twice a year. Take it off for gym sessions, gardening and swimming.

Does it hold resale value?

Less than a mined diamond. Lab grown stones trade at a steep discount secondhand, so buy this ring for wearing, not as an investment.

Our take on the 4.00 CT Oval Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring

A solitaire-style engagement ring set with a 4.00 carat oval lab grown diamond. Lab grown stones are chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds, so the ring delivers the same look and hardness at a much lower cost than a mined diamond of this size. The oval cut stretches the stone across the finger, which makes it read large and flatters most hand shapes. It suits buyers who want a big, eye-catching center stone and are comfortable with a lab grown origin.
