- 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 clarity and color scales. It is grown in a lab rather than mined.
- How does a princess cut compare with a round brilliant?
- The princess is square with pointed corners and a step-like facet pattern that gives sharper flashes of light. A round brilliant sparkles more evenly but costs more per carat at the same quality.
- Is VS clarity good enough to look clean?
- Yes. VS1 and VS2 inclusions are minor and usually invisible without magnification, so the stone should look clean to the eye.
- Will the pointed corners chip?
- Princess corners are the most vulnerable part of the stone. A protective setting and careful wear reduce the risk, and insurance is worth considering.
- Can this ring be resized?
- A plain 14k gold solitaire band can usually be resized by a jeweler. Ask about sizing before ordering, since a full eternity or detailed band cannot.
- Does it come with a grading certificate?
- The stone is sold as certified, so a grading report should accompany it. Confirm which lab issued the report before buying.
