- Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?
- Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure as a mined diamond, just grown in a lab. It looks and wears the same, but it is not graded by the same rarity standards and resells for much less.
- How does the princess cut compare with a round diamond?
- A princess cut is square with a brilliant-style facet pattern, so it throws sharp, geometric sparkle. Rounds hide inclusions better and are more forgiving of smudges; princess cuts reward a clean, well-set stone.
- Is VS clarity good enough to see nothing by eye?
- VS1 and VS2 inclusions are very slight and typically not visible to the naked eye. In a princess cut, which has a large flat table, keeping the stone clean matters more than the grade itself.
- Will the white gold stay white?
- 14K white gold is rhodium plated, and the plating wears over time. Most jewelers re-plate a ring every year or two to restore the bright white finish.
- Can this ring be resized?
- Many diamond-accented bands can be resized only within a limited range, and some cannot be sized at all without affecting the setting. Confirm the options for this specific ring before ordering.
- What comes with the ring?
- Expect the ring and its diamond certification paperwork. Ask whether a matching band, appraisal or warranty plan is included, since those are often sold separately.
