Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?

Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure and hardness as a mined diamond, and only a gemologist's equipment reliably tells them apart. It is not a simulant like cubic zirconia.

How does a princess cut differ from a round brilliant?

A princess cut is square with pointed corners and a step-like facet pattern, so it sparkles differently from a round brilliant. It usually shows more of its weight face-up, which makes a 2-carat stone look large.

Will the pointed corners chip?

Princess-cut corners are the most vulnerable part of the stone. A setting that covers or guards the corners, and removing the ring for gym or heavy work, greatly lowers the risk.

What clarity is VS1-VS2?

VS means very slightly included: minor inclusions that are hard to see without magnification. At this grade the stone should look clean to the eye.

Can this ring be resized?

Two-tone bands with a full setting can usually be resized by a jeweler, but the amount depends on the band's construction. Have it sized before wear and ask the jeweler to check the setting afterward.

What should I check when it arrives?

Confirm the 14K stamp, the two-tone finish, and that the stone sits secure with no movement in the setting. Look at the stone in daylight and under a lamp to judge sparkle and any visible inclusions.
