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

Finding Your Perfect Ring Size

Accurate ring sizing ensures comfort and security. Visit a jeweler for professional sizing, or use a ring sizer tool at home. Remember that fingers swell in heat and shrink in cold, so measure at room temperature and at the end of the day.

• Professional jeweler sizing is most accurate
• Measure at end of day when fingers are largest
• Avoid measuring when cold or after exercise
• Wide bands require larger size than thin bands
• Rings can be resized within limits

Popular Ring Styles

Ring styles range from simple bands to elaborate diamond settings. Solitaires remain timelessly popular, while three-stone and halo designs offer extra sparkle. Consider your lifestyle and personal style when choosing.

• Solitaire: Classic single stone setting
• Halo: Center stone surrounded by smaller diamonds
• Three-Stone: Represents past, present, future
• Eternity Band: Diamonds all around the band
• Cluster: Multiple stones creating one larger look

Choosing Ring Metals

Ring metal affects durability, appearance, and comfort. Platinum is most durable and hypoallergenic. Gold comes in yellow, white, and rose options. Consider your skin tone, lifestyle, and any metal allergies when choosing.

• Platinum: Most durable, naturally white
• 14K Gold: Great balance of durability and value
• 18K Gold: Richer color, softer
• White Gold: Modern look, requires replating
• Rose Gold: Romantic, trendy appearance

Ring Care and Maintenance

Regular care keeps your rings sparkling beautifully. Clean them weekly, remove during activities that could cause damage, and have settings checked annually. Proper storage prevents scratches and damage to stones.

• Clean weekly with warm soapy water
• Remove during cleaning, gardening, sports
• Have prongs checked annually
• Store separately from other jewelry
• Insure valuable pieces

Ring Resizing Information

Most rings can be resized by a skilled jeweler, typically within 2 sizes up or down. Some designs with stones around the entire band or intricate patterns may have limitations. Consult a jeweler before purchasing if resizing might be needed.

• Most rings can be resized 1-2 sizes
• Eternity bands may be difficult to resize
• Platinum is harder to resize than gold
• Sizing up is generally easier than down
• Resizing typically takes 1-2 weeks
