Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. They have the same carbon crystal structure and hardness as mined diamonds and test as diamonds on standard testers. The difference is origin and resale value, not appearance.

Is 10K gold good for a diamond necklace?

10K gold is 41.7% gold, so it is durable and less prone to scratching than higher karats. It looks slightly paler than 14K yellow gold and holds less resale value.

What does 1 5/8 ct. tw. mean?

It is the combined weight of all the diamonds in the necklace, not one stone. Spread across stations, each diamond is small, so the total reads as an even line of sparkle.

Will an 18-inch chain fit me?

An 18-inch chain sits at the collarbone on most adults and slightly lower on a petite frame. Measure a necklace you already like to confirm the drop you want.

How should I care for it?

Clean with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, and dry fully. Store it flat or hanging to avoid kinks, and take it off before swimming or showering.

When is the best time to buy?

Jewelry sales cluster around Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Black Friday and the winter holidays. Check the price history on this page to see whether the current price is near its low.

Our take on the Helzberg Lab Grown Diamonds 1 5/8 ct. tw. Lab Grown Diamond Round Center Station Necklace, 10K Yellow Gold, 18"

A 10K yellow gold cable-chain necklace with round lab grown diamonds set in stations around the chain, 1 5/8 carats total, 18 inches long. The all-around station layout spreads the sparkle across the neckline rather than clustering it at one pendant. Lab grown diamonds cost less than mined stones of the same size and look, which is where the value sits. No current price was supplied for this listing, so compare it against Helzberg's other lab grown station pieces before buying.
