Is a GIA certificate worth paying for on a solitaire?

Yes. It independently confirms the diamond's carat weight, color, clarity and cut, which protects resale value and lets you compare it fairly with other stones. Without a report you are trusting the seller's grade alone.

How does a princess cut compare with a round brilliant?

A princess cut is usually cheaper per carat and gives a more angular, modern look. Round brilliants hide inclusions better and sparkle more evenly, so a princess stone of the same grade can show more color and flaws.

Can this ring be resized?

A plain 14kt gold solitaire band can usually be resized by a jeweler, though sizing across the diamond setting is limited. Ask Ross-Simons about sizing before you order, since fine-jewelry policies differ from apparel.

What should I check when it arrives?

Confirm the GIA report number matches the stone and look at the diamond in daylight, not just indoor light. Check that the four corner prongs sit flush and that the stone does not rock in the setting.

When is the best time to buy?

Diamond prices move with the market rather than with seasonal sales, so watch the price history for a dip rather than waiting for a holiday event. Ross-Simons does run promotions, and those are the moments worth comparing.

Our take on the Ross-Simons Certified Princess-Cut Diamond Solitaire Ring in 14kt

A 14kt white gold solitaire set with a single GIA-certified princess-cut diamond of about 1.52 carats, on a polished band roughly 1/4 inch wide. The square princess cut gives it a sharper, more modern look than a round brilliant solitaire, and GIA certification is the main thing that sets it apart from uncertified mall-jewelry solitaires. Ross-Simons sells it direct, so there is no separate setting markup, but the price tracks diamond prices closely and moves with them.
