Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?

Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure as a mined diamond and is graded on the same scale. The difference is origin, and lab-grown stones generally resell for less.

What do E color and VVS2 clarity mean?

E is near-colorless, just below the top D grade. VVS2 means very very slightly included, with inclusions hard to see even under magnification. Together they give a bright, clean look.

Why choose a radiant cut over a round?

A radiant cut is rectangular with trimmed corners and a brilliant-style facet pattern, so it faces up larger per carat than a round and hides color well. It sparkles differently, more crushed and less uniform.

What is a hidden halo?

It is a ring of small diamonds set under the center stone, visible mainly from the side. It adds sparkle and makes the center stone look slightly larger from an angle.

What comes with the ring?

The listing states IGI certification, an appraisal, and a lifetime warranty. Confirm the warranty terms and who services the ring before buying.

How should I care for the micropavé shank?

Have the prongs and pavé checked by a jeweler about once a year, and avoid wearing it during heavy lifting or gym work. Clean with mild soap and a soft brush.
