- Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
- Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure and hardness as a mined diamond; only its origin differs. It will test as a diamond on standard testers.
- How does a marquise compare with a round solitaire?
- A marquise of the same carat weight looks larger because the shape is elongated. It also shows more surface area, though the pointed ends need more protection.
- Is SI1–SI2 clarity good enough for a 2-carat stone?
- Usually yes, since inclusions sit inside the stone, but they are easier to spot in a large diamond. Ask to see the stone in person or in magnified photos before buying.
- Can this ring be resized?
- Most plain 14k solitaire bands can be resized by a jeweler, though a full eternity-style band could not. Have it sized before wear to avoid stress on the setting.
- How should I care for a marquise solitaire?
- Clean it with mild soap and a soft brush, and have a jeweler check the prongs twice a year. Avoid knocking the pointed ends against hard surfaces.
