- 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 can tell them apart. It is not a cubic zirconia or moissanite simulant.
- How does an elongated radiant compare with an oval or emerald cut?
- It has the rectangular outline of an emerald cut but the brilliant, crushed-ice faceting of a radiant, so it sparkles more than an emerald and looks more geometric than an oval. It also tends to face up larger than a round of the same weight.
- Will it sit flush with a wedding band?
- The plain band and low-profile solitaire setting generally let a straight wedding band sit close, though a very wide band may still leave a small gap. Try the pair together before the wedding.
- Does the yellow gold make the diamond look warmer?
- Yellow gold prongs can reflect a slight warm tint into a near-colorless stone. Many buyers like the contrast; if you want the whitest look, ask about white gold or platinum prongs.
- What should I check on the stone?
- Ask for the lab report and check cut grade, color and clarity, plus the length-to-width ratio if you care how elongated it looks. Radiant cuts hide inclusions less well than rounds, so clarity matters.
- Can it be resized?
- A plain 14k gold solitaire band is straightforward for a jeweler to resize, usually within a couple of sizes. Ask the seller about their resizing policy before you buy.
