- Is the stone a real diamond?
- No. It is a 2 carat diamond simulant, a stone made to look like a diamond, not a mined or lab-grown diamond. It will not match a diamond's hardness or resale value.
- How does a princess cut compare with a round solitaire?
- A princess cut is square with four pointed corners, so it looks sharper and more modern than a round brilliant. It also shows a different facet pattern, with more contrast between light and dark areas.
- Will the white gold stay bright?
- 14 carat white gold is alloyed with white metals and usually plated with rhodium for a bright finish. That plating wears over time and needs re-plating to restore the original look.
- Can I wear it every day?
- A solitaire setting is fine for daily wear, but the pointed corners of a princess cut are more prone to chipping than a round stone. Take it off for heavy work, gym sessions and cleaning with harsh chemicals.
- Does it work as an engagement ring?
- Yes, it is styled as a solitaire engagement ring. Keep in mind that a simulant is chosen for appearance, not for the durability and value a diamond offers.
- What should I check when it arrives?
- Check that the stone sits secure in its setting and that the claws are even. Look at the stone in daylight and indoors, since simulants can show more color or less sparkle than expected.
