- Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?
- Yes. It is chemically and optically the same as a mined diamond, just grown in a lab. It will test as a diamond on standard testers.
- How does 1 ct. tw. compare to a 1 carat stone?
- 1 ct. tw. means the total weight of all diamonds in the ring, center plus sides. The oval center is smaller than a full carat on its own.
- Will the oval stone show a bow-tie?
- Oval cuts can show a dark bow-tie band across the middle. Ask to see the actual stone in different light before buying.
- Does the white gold need maintenance?
- White gold is rhodium plated, and the plating wears off over years. Budget for re-plating to keep the prongs bright.
- Is it worth buying over a mined diamond ring?
- If you want the look at a lower price, yes. If resale value matters, mined diamonds hold value better than lab grown.
