- Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
- Yes. It is chemically and optically identical to a mined diamond, just grown in a lab. Only a trained gemologist with equipment can tell them apart.
- How does the princess cut compare with a round brilliant?
- The princess cut is square with pointed corners and gives a sharper, more geometric sparkle. A round brilliant throws more fire and hides flaws better, and its corners cannot chip.
- Will the white gold stay white?
- 18K white gold is rhodium-plated to look bright white. The plating wears over years, so expect re-plating every year or two with daily wear.
- Can it be worn with a wedding band?
- Yes. The plain solitaire band sits close to most straight wedding bands. Curved bands fit better if you want the rings to sit flush.
- Does it come with a diamond certificate?
- Lab-grown stones of this size usually ship with a grading report from a lab such as IGI. Confirm the report is included before you buy.
- Is a princess-cut stone fragile?
- The pointed corners are the weak spot. A four-prong setting that covers the corners protects them, but avoid hard knocks and have the prongs checked yearly.
