Frequently Asked Questions

All You Need to Know About Diamond Solitaire Rings

Understanding Your Diamond Options

Natural vs. Lab-Created Diamonds

We carry both natural and lab-created diamonds, so you can pick whichever fits your priorities. Natural diamonds formed underground over billions of years. Every stone is one of a kind, with its own character and story. Lab-created diamonds are grown in a controlled setting using the same conditions that create natural diamonds. Chemically and visually, they're identical to mined stones.

Both types get graded on the same 4Cs scale (Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat), and both sparkle the same way. The decision usually comes down to what matters most to you: the history and rarity of a natural diamond, or the value and traceability of a lab-grown one. Either way, you're getting a real diamond.

Natural Diamonds: Formed over billions of years, rare, each stone is unique
Lab-Created Diamonds: Same physical properties, traceable origin, better price point
Grading: Both graded identically using Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat
Bottom Line: Pick based on what matters to you, not what anyone else thinks

What should I prioritize when buying a solitaire diamond ring?

The Priority Order

For solitaire rings, prioritize Cut above all else—it determines sparkle. A well-cut diamond will outshine a larger, poorly cut one. After cut, focus on Color (G-H is excellent value), then Clarity (VS2-SI1 is eye-clean), then Carat for size.

1. Cut: Determines sparkle
2. Color: G-H looks white
3. Clarity: VS2-SI1 eye-clean
4. Carat: Size within budget

Four-prong or six-prong setting?

Prong Settings

Four prongs show more of the diamond and let in more light. Six prongs are more secure and make round diamonds look rounder. For princess, marquise, or pear shapes, V-prongs protect the pointed ends. Either works—it's about the look you prefer.

4-prong: Shows more diamond
6-prong: More secure, rounder look
V-prong: Protects pointed shapes
Both are secure with care

What metal is best for a solitaire ring?

Metal Choices

Platinum is most durable and naturally white—never needs replating. White gold is more affordable but needs rhodium replating every 1-2 years. Yellow and rose gold are making comebacks and can warm up lower color grade diamonds.

Platinum: Durable, naturally white
White gold: Affordable, needs replating
Yellow/Rose: Warm, classic options
14K more durable than 18K

How do I get the right ring size?

Ring Sizing

Get sized at end of day when fingers are largest. Temperature affects size—avoid measuring when very cold or hot. Wide bands feel tighter, so go up 1/4 size for bands over 4mm. When uncertain, go slightly larger—it's easier to size down.

Measure end of day
Avoid extreme temperatures
Wide bands need larger size
When unsure, go bigger

Can a solitaire ring be resized?

Resizing Options

Most solitaire rings can be resized up or down 1-2 sizes without issue. Some settings (like tension) are harder to resize. If you choose platinum or gold, resizing is straightforward. Eternity-style bands with diamonds all around cannot be resized.

1-2 sizes up or down possible
Standard settings resize easily
Tension settings harder
Eternity bands cannot resize

Buyer's Guide

Diamond Stud Earrings Buying Guide

Diamond studs are one of those pieces that work anywhere—office, wedding, grocery store. If you're going to own one pair of diamond earrings, studs are the smart choice. Here's what to know before you buy.

What Size Should You Get?

Size depends on your budget, your style, and honestly, your earlobes. Studs are measured by total carat weight (both earrings combined), so a "1 carat pair" means each earring is about 0.50 carats.

For everyday wear, 0.50 to 1 carat total looks balanced on most people. Under 0.50 carats reads subtle and delicate. Over 1.5 carats makes more of a statement. If you have smaller earlobes, bigger isn't always better—they can look overwhelming. Try before you buy if you can, or start smaller and upgrade later.

Understanding the 4Cs for Studs

The 4Cs matter differently for earrings than for rings. Here's what actually counts:

Cut: This is where you don't want to compromise. A well-cut diamond sparkles; a poorly cut one looks dull. Always prioritize cut.

Color: G-H color looks white in studs and costs less than D-E-F. Most people can't tell the difference when they're on your ears.

Clarity: SI1-SI2 clarity is usually fine for studs. Inclusions that would bother you in an engagement ring disappear at earring distance.

Carat: Get the size that fits your budget after you've locked in good cut. A smaller, well-cut diamond beats a bigger, dull one every time.

Setting Styles

The setting affects both look and security:

Prong (3 or 4 prong): Shows the most diamond, lets in the most light. Classic choice. Four prongs are more secure than three.

Bezel: A metal rim surrounds the diamond completely. Very secure, modern look, but shows slightly less of the stone.

Martini: Three prongs with a V-shaped basket that sits close to the ear. Sleek and minimal.

Halo: Small diamonds surround the center stone, making it look larger. More sparkle, more presence.

Choosing the Right Metal

White gold and platinum are the most popular for diamond studs—they don't distract from the stone. Platinum costs more but never needs replating. White gold needs rhodium replating every few years to stay bright.

Yellow gold is making a comeback and can warm up the look. Rose gold adds a feminine touch. If you have metal allergies, stick to platinum or 18K gold—they're less likely to cause reactions.

Back Types Matter

The earring back determines comfort and security:

Push backs (butterfly): Standard, easy to use, but can loosen over time.

Screw backs: Most secure option. Takes a bit longer to put on, but they won't fall off.

La Pousette: Also called friction backs. Secure like screw backs but easier to use.

For expensive studs, we recommend screw backs. Losing a diamond stud is painful.

Natural vs. Lab-Created

Both are real diamonds with identical physical properties. Lab-created diamonds typically cost 30-40% less for the same specs. Natural diamonds have been forming underground for billions of years and hold their value differently.

For studs that you'll wear daily, many people choose lab-created to get a larger size within budget. For heirloom pieces, some prefer natural for the rarity factor. There's no wrong answer—just personal preference.
