- Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
- Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure and hardness as a mined diamond, just grown in a lab. It is graded by the same standards and comes with a certificate.
- How does a princess cut compare with a round brilliant?
- A princess cut is square with sharp corners and usually costs less per carat for a similar look. A round brilliant hides flaws better and has stronger overall brilliance, but shows a smaller face for the same weight.
- Can this ring be resized?
- It can often be sized within a limited range, but the accent stones and full setting restrict how far. Ask a jeweler to check the band before committing to a large size change.
- Is 14K white gold durable for daily wear?
- Yes. 14K gold is harder than 18K and holds up well to daily wear. The white rhodium finish will wear over time and needs re-plating every few years to stay bright.
- What should I check on the certificate?
- Look for the carat weight, color, clarity and cut grade, plus confirmation that the stone is lab-grown. Match the certificate number to the stone's laser inscription.
- Does the princess cut need special care?
- Yes. The pointed corners are the most chip-prone part of the stone, so avoid knocks and have a jeweler check the prongs regularly. Clean it with mild soap and water.
