- Is a half-carat princess cut big enough for an engagement ring?
- A half-carat princess cut faces up larger than a round of the same weight because of its square shape. On an average finger it reads as a clear, visible center stone.
- How bad is I2 clarity in this ring?
- I2 stones have inclusions visible under magnification and sometimes to the eye. In a half-carat princess cut they are usually small, but inspect the stone in person if you are sensitive to them.
- Does the yellow gold make the diamond look yellow?
- The I color grade already carries slight warmth, and yellow gold reflects that warmth into the stone. Many buyers like the look; if you want a whiter stone, a higher color grade matters more than the metal.
- Can I wear it with a wedding band?
- Yes. The plain band leaves room for a straight or slightly curved wedding band to sit flush. Ask to try bands alongside the ring before buying.
- Is a princess cut more fragile than a round diamond?
- Its pointed corners are more exposed than a round brilliant's edge, so a prong setting that covers the corners and careful wear matter. Remove it for rough work and sports.
- What is in the box?
- The ring comes in Kay packaging, typically with the store's paperwork for the purchase. Ask the store to confirm the appraisal or certificate included with the diamond.
