Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. They are chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds, just grown in a lab. They test as diamonds and have the same hardness.

Is 5 carats too much for everyday wear?

It is a bold, high-sparkle look. Many wearers treat it as a statement piece rather than a subtle everyday bracelet.

14k white gold is usually rhodium plated. The plating can wear over time and can be refreshed by a jeweler.

Measure your wrist and add about half an inch for comfort. A tennis bracelet should drape slightly, not squeeze.

It looks the same to the eye and costs far less, but lab-grown stones resell for less. Choose it for wear, not investment.

Wipe it after wear and store it flat or in a pouch. Have the clasp and settings checked yearly by a jeweler.
