- Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
- Yes. It is chemically and physically a diamond, just grown in a lab instead of mined. It has the same hardness and sparkle, but resale value is lower than a mined stone.
- Will the princess cut chip easily?
- Princess cuts have sharp corners that are more vulnerable than round cuts. A protective setting and care during heavy work reduce the risk.
- Does 14K white gold need maintenance?
- Yes. White gold is rhodium-plated for a bright white look, and the plating wears off over time. Re-plating restores the finish.
- Is SI clarity good enough for this ring?
- SI1-SI2 stones can show tiny inclusions under magnification but usually look clean to the eye, especially in a halo setting. Ask to see the certificate for the specific stone.
- Can this ring be resized?
- Most white gold rings with a plain band can be resized by a jeweler. Halo and channel settings limit how much, so confirm with the jeweler before buying.
