Is a GIA certificate important for a lab diamond?

Yes. GIA grades the stone independently, so you know the cut, color and clarity are what the seller claims. Many cheaper lab diamonds come with in-house or no grading.

What is the difference between EF-VVS and GH-VS?

EF-VVS is the top option here: near-colorless color with very, very slight inclusions. GH-VS is a step down in both color and clarity, so it costs less but can show a faint tint or slight inclusions on close inspection.

Will this fit a standard ring setting?

It is a round brilliant, the most widely supported shape, so most solitaire and halo settings for round stones will take it. Match the setting to the exact millimeter diameter of the carat weight you choose.

Is a lab diamond a real diamond?

Yes. It is chemically and optically the same as a mined diamond, just grown in a lab. It will test as a diamond on standard testers.

What comes with the stone?

You get the loose diamond and its GIA grading report. The setting, band and jeweler's labor are separate purchases.

Our take on the Lab Diamond GIA Certified Round EF Loose Diamond

This is a loose round lab-grown diamond with GIA certification, sold by carat weight with a choice of color and clarity grades. The round brilliant cut is the most common choice for engagement rings, and a lab diamond gives you the same optical and hardness properties as a mined stone for less. GIA grading is the main thing that sets it apart from uncertified lab diamonds, which are often cheaper but harder to judge. It suits buyers building a custom ring, earrings or pendant who want a documented stone rather than a pre-set piece.
