- Is an I1 clarity diamond a problem in a princess cut?
- It can be. Princess cuts have sharp corners and broad facets that make inclusions easier to spot than in a round brilliant. Look at the stone in person or in close-up photos before deciding.
- How does a princess cut compare with a round solitaire?
- A princess cut gives a square, modern outline and often looks larger for the same carat weight. A round brilliant returns more light and hides flaws better, so it usually looks brighter at the same clarity.
- Will the white gold stay white?
- 14K white gold is rhodium-plated, and the plating wears off with daily wear. Plan on re-plating every year or two to keep the bright white finish.
- Can this ring be resized?
- A plain 14K gold solitaire band can usually be resized by a jeweler. Rings with stones set into the band are harder to resize, but this setting keeps the band clear.
- Does it come with a matching wedding band?
- It is sold as a solitaire engagement ring. A straight or slightly curved plain band in 14K white gold will sit flush against it; contour bands work better if you add a wider ring.
- Is a solitaire setting secure for daily wear?
- A four-prong setting holds the stone well but the corners of a princess cut are exposed. Have the prongs checked yearly, especially if you wear the ring every day.
