Is a lab diamond a real diamond?

Yes. Lab diamonds are chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds, just grown in a lab. They test as diamonds and are graded on the same color and clarity scales.

How does the Charlize compare with a solitaire?

The Charlize has a 2 ct oval center plus six marquise side stones, so it looks more elaborate than a single-stone solitaire. A solitaire is simpler to clean and inspect and puts all the weight into one stone.

What does F-G color and VS clarity mean here?

F-G is near-colorless, so the stone should look white to the eye. VS clarity means very slightly included, with inclusions hard to see without magnification.

Can I choose the metal and ring size?

Yes. The ring is ordered by selecting material and US ring size, and the design can be made with other gemstones on request before purchase.

How should I care for a thin cluster ring?

Have the prongs and side stones checked periodically, and avoid wearing it during heavy lifting or rough work. Clean it with mild soap and a soft brush.

What comes with the ring?

It ships gift wrapped with insured express shipping from Europe. The listing does not detail a separate certificate, so ask about grading paperwork before ordering.
