- Is $999 a good price for this ring?
- It is the only price recorded since October 31, 2026, at $999 at Zales, so there is no lower recent price to wait for. For a 3-carat F/VS2 lab-grown diamond in 14K gold, that is a low entry point.
- Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
- Yes. It has the same carbon structure as a mined diamond and the same hardness; it is grown in a lab rather than mined. It costs less and resells for much less than a mined stone of the same grade.
- What does F color and VS2 clarity mean?
- F is near-colorless, so the stone looks white to most eyes. VS2 means very slight inclusions that are hard to see without magnification.
- White gold or rose gold?
- The ring comes in 14K white gold with rhodium plating or 14K rose gold. White gold looks brighter and more traditional; rose gold gives a warmer, softer look.
- Can I get it engraved?
- Yes. A free one-time engraving is included when you add a protection plan. Without the plan, engraving is not free.
- Will a wedding band sit flush with it?
- A plain prong-set solitaire usually leaves room for a straight band, but a 3-carat stone sits high. Try a contoured band if you want a tight fit.
