- Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
- Yes. It has the same carbon crystal structure and hardness as a mined diamond, just grown in a lab. It is certified and graded the same way.
- How does a princess cut compare with a round solitaire?
- Princess cuts are square and usually cost less per carat than rounds, so you get a larger-looking stone. Rounds hide chips better and have more corner strength.
- Will the white gold stay white?
- 14k white gold is rhodium-plated. The plating wears with daily wear and needs replating every year or two to keep the bright white look.
- Can this ring be resized?
- A plain 14k gold solitaire band can usually be resized by a jeweler. Have it done by a professional, since the setting and prongs need checking afterward.
- Does it come with a certificate?
- Yes, the center stone is certified. Keep the certificate for insurance and future resale or trade-in.
- Is it suitable for everyday wear?
- Yes, but the high setting and pointed corners need care. Remove it for gym, gardening and heavy work to protect the prongs and stone.
