Is the center stone a real diamond?

No. It is a 3 carat marquise-cut cubic zirconia, a synthetic stone made to look like a diamond. The setting and band are real 14k or 18k gold or platinum.

How does a marquise cut wear compared with a round?

A marquise is elongated, so it looks larger for its carat weight and flatters the finger. The two pointed ends sit higher and can catch on fabric more than a round brilliant.

Can I choose the metal and stone color?

Yes. The ring comes in 14k or 18k gold or platinum, in white, yellow or rose gold, with diamond-look, pink or canary stone.

Is it suitable as an engagement ring?

It is styled as an engagement or wedding ring and the six-prong head holds the stone well. Keep in mind the stone is CZ, so it is a look choice rather than an heirloom investment.

Yes, engraving is available. A wide cigar band leaves room for a message inside, though the rope pattern limits outside engraving.

How should I care for the CZ?

Clean with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, and avoid harsh chemicals. Have the prongs checked periodically, since a large marquise stone puts stress on the head.
