- Is a princess cut good for an engagement ring?
- Yes. The square princess cut is the second most popular diamond shape after round. Its pointed corners need a protective setting, so check that the prongs cover them.
- How does a lab grown diamond compare with a mined one?
- They are chemically and physically identical, with the same hardness and sparkle. The difference is origin and resale value: lab grown stones cost less and hold less resale value.
- Is VS clarity good enough to look clean?
- Yes. VS1 and VS2 inclusions are minor and usually invisible to the naked eye. At 2.3 carats, a VS stone should look clean in normal viewing.
- Will the white gold stay white?
- 14k white gold is rhodium plated and can wear to a warmer tone over time. Re-plating every year or two restores the bright white finish.
- What should I check about the stone?
- Ask for the diamond grading report and confirm the carat, clarity and color grades match. Also check that the corners are set securely.
