- Is a heart-shaped diamond a good choice for an engagement ring?
- It is a matter of taste. Heart cuts are romantic and unusual, but they are less classic than round or oval and can look dated to some buyers. Check the stone in person or in close-up video, since symmetry matters more in a heart cut.
- How does a lab-grown diamond compare to a mined one?
- They are chemically and physically identical, so a lab-grown stone has the same hardness and sparkle. The difference is origin and price: lab-grown costs less, and its resale value is much lower than a mined diamond's.
- What does 3 ct. mean for size?
- It refers to the total diamond weight, and here it is the single center stone. A 3 ct. heart diamond is large and will sit high on the finger. Try a similar size in a store to see how it wears.
- What is the ring made of?
- The band is 14K gold in a rose and white two-tone finish, with a white lab-grown diamond in a solitaire setting. The listing does not state the exact width or weight of the band.
- When is the best time to buy?
- Helzberg runs promotions around Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and the winter holidays, and lab-grown prices have been falling. Compare this ring's price with other 3 ct. lab-grown solitaires before you buy.
