- Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
- Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure as a mined diamond and tests as one. The difference is that it was grown in a lab, which is why it costs less.
- What does the $330 price include?
- The $330 at Blue Nile as of November 5, 2026 is for a ring in this style. The stone's carat, cut, color and clarity change the price, so check the exact stone before buying.
- Can this ring be resized?
- A plain 14K gold solitaire band can usually be resized by a jeweler. Ask about sizing before you order, since some settings limit how far a ring can go.
- How does it compare with a mined-diamond solitaire?
- The look is the same, but a lab-grown stone of similar size typically costs much less. Mined diamonds hold resale value better, which matters if you may resell.
- What should I check before buying?
- Confirm the diamond's carat, cut, color and clarity grades, the ring size, and the return window. A grading report for the stone is worth asking for.
- Where is the James Allen 14K Yellow Gold Lab-Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring cheapest?
