<div class="sqs-html-content">  <p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Gold remains one the most popular choices for engagement ring settings, and an excellent choice for a look that’s both timeless and affordable. You may be wondering “should I choose 14k or 18k gold for my engagement ring”? </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Pure gold is too soft for everyday wear and would not stand the test of time as an engagement ring setting. The gold in your engagement ring setting is mixed with other metals, such as silver, copper, nickel and zinc to make your jewelry more durable. The karatage refers to the percentage of pure gold in the alloy: 18k gold contains  75% gold, 14k gold contains 58.3% gold. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Because 14k gold contains a higher percentage of alloyed metals it provides more durability and resistance to wear and tear. 14k gold can be an excellent choice for those with more active lifestyles. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">18k yellow gold has a brighter and more vivid appearance. 18k rose gold has  a more brassy appearance as opposed to 14k rose gold which is more pink.</p></div>

<div class="sqs-html-content">  <p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The carat weight of a diamond is a measurement of its weight. One carat is exactly one-fifth of a gram (0.20 g). When a diamond is properly cut, the carat weight defines the size of the diamond. When it comes to smaller diamonds, an Ada concierge may use the term “points” to discuss diamond weights with you. One point is one-hundredth of a carat (0.01). A “33 point diamond” would be 0.33 carats.</p></div>

Clarity

Rose Gold Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands

Carat

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The numbers after the major grade are a sub-grade, with the lower number being better. &nbsp;So a VS1 is superior to a VS2, which is superior to a SI1. Diamond clarity is graded by viewing the diamond through a 10x magnification with a tool called a loupe. &nbsp;</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Flawless and Internally Flawless (FL, IF)

<div class="sqs-html-content">  <h2 style="text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap;">Not All Lab Diamonds Are Flawless</h2><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Clarity is a measurement of how many or how large of blemishes or inclusions are present in the diamond. The lower the clarity of a diamond, the more imperfections in the diamond. Lab diamonds vary in clarity, just like mined diamonds.</p></div>

  <h3 style="text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap;">From Flawless to Included: Five Major Grades of Clarity </h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The numbers after the major grade are a sub-grade, with the lower number being better. &nbsp;So a VS1 is superior to a VS2, which is superior to a SI1. Diamond clarity is graded by viewing the diamond through a 10x magnification with a tool called a loupe. &nbsp;</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Flawless and Internally Flawless (FL, IF)</h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Both FL and IF diamonds have no internal inclusions visible with magnification. &nbsp;Both flawless and internally flawless lab diamonds are extremely rare. This is because truly flawless lab diamonds do not get cut into gemstones, but rather are used for high-tech purposes such as laser lenses.</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Very, Very Slightly Included (VVS1, VVS2)</h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Imperfections are extremely difficult to locate with 10x magnification and impossible to see without jewelers tools. This a premium quality level and Ada’s most popular clarity categories.</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Very Slightly Included (VS1, VS2)</h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Imperfections are difficult to locate with magnification and not visible to the naked eye. A layperson would have difficulty finding inclusions even with 10x magnification.</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Slightly Included(SI1, SI2)&nbsp;</h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Imperfections are easy to locate with 10x magnification, but are very difficult (SI1) or difficult (SI2) to see without a jeweler's tools. Ada does not sell SI diamonds.</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Imperfect (I1, I2, I3)</h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Imperfections are very easy to see under magnification and can be seen with the naked eye. Imperfect diamonds are more susceptible to cracking or breaking during daily wear. The majority of mined diamonds are of Imperfect clarity. Ada does not sell any imperfect diamonds.</p>

Color

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The most common impurity in mined diamonds is clusters of nitrogen atoms inside the diamond, contributing to a yellow or brown undertone.&nbsp;Over 98% of mined diamonds have nitrogen impurities measured in the parts per million.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Our lab diamonds are Type IIa, meaning that impurities are measured in the parts per billion, not million. Lab diamonds get their yellow and brown undertones from voids in the crystal structure. Most HPHT diamonds are colorless and may have undertones of blue or gray. It’s imperative that a lab diamond expert inspect your diamond prior to purchase to ensure it does not have undesirable color.</p>

<div class="sqs-html-content">  <h2 style="text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lab Diamonds Vary in Color and Are Not All Colorless.</h2><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Just like in mined diamonds, lab diamonds can vary in color from icey white to yellowish-brown. Gemological laboratories have standardized on a range of letter grades of D-Z. &nbsp;Ada Diamonds is proud to only sell diamonds that are colorless (D-E-F) or near-colorless (G). <a href="/buy-lab-diamonds">Lab diamond pricing</a> is affected by color grade as higher color diamonds are more desirable than warmer ones.</p></div>

  <h2 style="text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lab Diamonds Vary in Color and Are Not All Colorless.</h2><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Just like in mined diamonds, lab diamonds can vary in color from icey white to yellowish-brown. Gemological laboratories have standardized on a range of letter grades of D-Z. &nbsp;Ada Diamonds is proud to only sell diamonds that are colorless (D-E-F) or near-colorless (G). <a href="/buy-lab-diamonds">Lab diamond pricing</a> is affected by color grade as higher color diamonds are more desirable than warmer ones.</p>

  <h2 style="text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap;">How do Diamonds get Their Color?</h2><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The most common impurity in mined diamonds is clusters of nitrogen atoms inside the diamond, contributing to a yellow or brown undertone.&nbsp;Over 98% of mined diamonds have nitrogen impurities measured in the parts per million.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Our lab diamonds are Type IIa, meaning that impurities are measured in the parts per billion, not million. Lab diamonds get their yellow and brown undertones from voids in the crystal structure. Most HPHT diamonds are colorless and may have undertones of blue or gray. It’s imperative that a lab diamond expert inspect your diamond prior to purchase to ensure it does not have undesirable color.</p>

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Gemological laboratories have 5 grades of cut: Ideal, Excellent, Very Good, Fair, and Poor. Ada Diamonds only offers round diamonds with an Excellent or Ideal cut.</p>

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">To understand the differences between an excellent cut diamond and a mediocre cut diamond, you must first understand how light interacts with diamond, as light is reflected and refracted in a very different way than in air, water, glass, or other gemstones. &nbsp; Diamond has a very high refractive index: light slows down in diamond, which creates the brilliance that sets diamonds apart. &nbsp;</p>

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>BRIGHTNESS</strong>&nbsp;is how much light you see when you view a diamond. A well-cut diamond has very specific dimensions that reflect and return virtually all of the light that enters the diamond back out of the top of the diamond. Even in poor lighting, a diamond can appear very bright. A poorly-cut diamond leaks light out of the bottom and is dull or flat when compared to a well-cut diamond.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>FIRE</strong>&nbsp;describes the rainbow of colors reflected by the diamond gemstone. Diamond has an extremely high rate of light dispersion. When white light enters the diamond, it is spread apart into distinct colors in a prism-like effect. &nbsp;</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>SCINTILLATION</strong>&nbsp;defines the flashes of light that you see when the diamond moves. &nbsp;This is also called the sparkle of the diamond.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>PATTERN </strong>is the contrasting light and dark areas in a diamond gemstone. The better the cut of the diamond, the better the contrast is between dark areas and light areas. Mediocre diamonds have blurry gray areas, whereas the best-cut diamonds have very distinct contrasting patterns that are uniform throughout the diamond. Ada Diamonds is proud to offer special inventory of round brilliants that received a special <strong>hearts and arrows</strong> designation by IGI or GCAL. &nbsp;</p>

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Not apparent on a grading report is the “make,” or the way a fancy-shaped diamond looks in person. There is information on a grading report such as pavilion depth, symmetry, and polish that help an expert determine whether a fancy-shaped diamond will look gorgeous in person. However, you should never buy a fancy-shaped diamond sight unseen. Characteristics such as bow ties, paneling, and light leakage are only visible in person, not with a certificate or with a 360 video. The best way to ensure a gorgeous make of your diamond is to have a lab diamond expert inspect it before sale. </strong>&nbsp;</p>

<div class="sqs-html-content">  <p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The Cut of the diamond is completely determined by the precision and quality of the methods used to cut and polish the diamond. The only shape that receives an internationally-recognized cut grade is a round brilliant. There is typically no “cut” grade provided to other shapes such as ovals, emeralds, pears, etc. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Note that “Diamond Cut” does not refer to the shape or make of the diamond gemstone. &nbsp;The shapes that Ada offers can be seen <a href="https://www.adadiamonds.com/education#shapes">here</a>.</p></div>

  <p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The Cut of the diamond is completely determined by the precision and quality of the methods used to cut and polish the diamond. The only shape that receives an internationally-recognized cut grade is a round brilliant. There is typically no “cut” grade provided to other shapes such as ovals, emeralds, pears, etc. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Note that “Diamond Cut” does not refer to the shape or make of the diamond gemstone. &nbsp;The shapes that Ada offers can be seen <a href="https://www.adadiamonds.com/education#shapes">here</a>.</p>

  <h2 style="text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Elements of Cut</h2><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>BRIGHTNESS</strong>&nbsp;is how much light you see when you view a diamond. A well-cut diamond has very specific dimensions that reflect and return virtually all of the light that enters the diamond back out of the top of the diamond. Even in poor lighting, a diamond can appear very bright. A poorly-cut diamond leaks light out of the bottom and is dull or flat when compared to a well-cut diamond.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>FIRE</strong>&nbsp;describes the rainbow of colors reflected by the diamond gemstone. Diamond has an extremely high rate of light dispersion. When white light enters the diamond, it is spread apart into distinct colors in a prism-like effect. &nbsp;</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>SCINTILLATION</strong>&nbsp;defines the flashes of light that you see when the diamond moves. &nbsp;This is also called the sparkle of the diamond.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>PATTERN </strong>is the contrasting light and dark areas in a diamond gemstone. The better the cut of the diamond, the better the contrast is between dark areas and light areas. Mediocre diamonds have blurry gray areas, whereas the best-cut diamonds have very distinct contrasting patterns that are uniform throughout the diamond. Ada Diamonds is proud to offer special inventory of round brilliants that received a special <strong>hearts and arrows</strong> designation by IGI or GCAL. &nbsp;</p>

However, you should never buy a fancy-shaped diamond sight unseen. Characteristics such as bow ties, paneling, and light leakage are only visible in person, not with a certificate or with a 360 video.

5 Most Popular Lab Diamond Shapes

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Create a bespoke, made-to-order engagement ring with lab diamonds hand-selected by our experts for incredible brilliance. </p>

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">New to lab diamonds? Learn how lab diamonds are grown, graded, and more.  </p>

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Our exclusive Concierge Experience allows you to work one-on-one with a lab diamond expert to bring your ring to life. </p>

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Light leakage is a phenomenon that occurs in diamonds with poorly cut pavilion facets that result in a dull or lifeless looking diamond. Light leakage is an important consideration when purchasing your diamond because it impacts a diamonds overall visual appeal. A diamond that displays a lot of light leakage does so because the pavilion facets do not reflect light back to the crown of the diamond. Diamond shapes that are “step-cut” such as emeralds and elongated radiant shapes, sometimes display light leakage in large carat weights because of the way they pavilion facets are cut. </p>

<div class="sqs-html-content">  <p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Fancy shaped lab diamonds including ovals and pears, are some of our most requested shapes for engagement rings. If you’re shopping for a fancy shaped lab diamond, you may have heard of the “bow tie effect”. Our diamond experts explain everything you need to know about bow ties and light leakage when shopping for your perfect lab grown diamond. </p><h2 style="text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap;">What is a “Bow-Tie”?</h2><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">A “bow tie” is a shadow or darkened area that runs across the width of a diamond. In a well cut diamond, all of the light that enters is reflected back through the facets, resulting in all the sparkle and fire that comes to mind when thinking of a diamond. However, in fancy shapes such as oval, marquise, and pears, a poor cut creates a shadow across the diamond from the diamond’s facets not being able to properly reflect light. Fancy shaped diamonds will typically display some degree of bow tie, and while a minimal bow tie can actually enhance the character of a fancy shape, it’s important to have a trusted expert to help you avoid choosing a diamond with a large dark shadow, since this characteristic is not mentioned on diamond grading reports. </p></div>

Lab Diamond Engagement Ring Style Guide 

Bow Ties and Light Leakage Explained

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Round brilliants are an elegant and timeless choice for your engagement ring. Rounds are by far the most popular diamond shape, and with good reason! The round brilliant cut features 57 or 58 facets that are designed to produce maximum <a href="https://4cs.gia.edu/en-us/blog/guide-diamond-shapes-engagement-rings/">brightness, fire, and sparkle in a colorless diamond</a>. The <a href="/knowledge-base/4cs-lab-diamonds-cut-explained">cut </a>of your round brilliant (different than shape!), matters a lot: a well cut diamond will have superior light performance and sparkle when compared to a poorly cut diamond of the same carat weight and color. Rest assured: our Diamond Concierge team are unabashed diamond snobs. This is why your <a href="/diamond-concierge-process">Diamond Concierge</a> will carefully curate you a list of only exceptional lab grown diamonds, so you can be sure your lab diamond engagement ring shines as brightly as your love.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Shown here: platinum <a href="/solitaire-engagement-rings">solitaire engagement ring</a> featuring a 2.75 carat round lab diamond with matched eternity band. See <a href="/lab-diamond-engagement-rings/classic-six-prong-solitaire-067">additional design details</a>. </p>

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Oval brilliant lab diamonds are our most popular fancy shape! Oval diamonds provide a graceful and unique style to your ring, with lots of fire and sparkle from the brilliant cut faceting pattern. The greater surface area of the oval makes it a popular choice because it can appear larger than other diamond cuts of the same carat weight. Similar to emerald and marquise diamond shapes, the shape of oval diamonds can also help visually elongate shorter fingers. Oval diamonds are also known to display a bow-tie, or a shadow that spans the width of the diamond. In a well cut oval, the bow-tie will be minimal to non-existent. Your <a href="/diamond-concierge-process">Diamond Concierge</a> works with every diamond grower in the world, and has access to lab grown oval diamonds not available anywhere else. We’ll only show you diamonds our in-house experts have visually inspected to ensure your oval diamond has exceptional sparkle and brilliance.  </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Shown here: 14k rose gold <a href="/diamond-band-engagement-rings">diamond band engagement ring</a> featuring a 2 carat oval lab diamond center stone.

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>The pear brilliant cut is a combination of the round brilliant cut and a marquise cut with all the sparkle of a round and the finger flattering shape of a marquise. </strong>Due to their elongated nature and wide base, pears are considered to have the largest "spread" of all of the shapes and look visibly the largest on the finger. <strong>Like ovals and other elongated shapes, pear shaped diamonds can display a bow-tie, or a dark shadow spanning the width of the diamond. At Ada, our diamonds have all received an in-person inspection to ensure minimal to no bow tie. </strong>Your <a href="/diamond-concierge-process">Diamond Concierge</a> can help you find the perfect pear lab diamond and design a setting you’ll love! </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Shown here: 14k yellow gold solitaire engagement ring featuring a 1.5 carat pear lab diamond.

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">As the name suggests, this glamorous diamond cut was originally developed for emerald gemstones. Unlike brilliant cut diamonds (rounds, ovals, princess), emerald cut diamonds are what’s known as a step cut. The faceting of a step cut gives the diamond a hall of mirrors effect, meaning this cut is excellent for showing off the color and clarity of a diamond. These cuts are also known for giving off distinctive and dramatic flashes of light. Similar to oval cut diamonds, the elongated shape of an emerald cut can be very finger-flattering.  Our <a href="/diamond-concierge-team">Diamond Concierge</a> team visually inspects every one of our emerald cut lab diamonds, to ensure that the color and clarity meet our strict standards to be the center of your perfect engagement ring. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Shown here: 18k yellow gold <a href="/solitaire-engagement-rings">solitaire engagement ring</a> featuring a 4 carat emerald cut lab diamond.

<p  class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">A romantic shape that’s a beautiful fusion of round and square diamonds shapes, cushion cut lab diamonds (sometimes called a pillow cut), feature slightly rounded edges that give it a distinctive appearance. Similar to round brilliants, cushion cut diamonds have 58 facets and lots of brilliant sparkle. Cushion cuts offer a vintage or antique feel to your engagement ring. Your <a href="/diamond-concierge-process">Diamond Concierge</a> will help you find a cushion that’s the perfect length to width ratio to bring your dream ring to life. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Shown here: 14k yellow gold <a href="/diamond-band-engagement-rings">diamond band engagement ring</a> featuring 2.5 carat cushion cut lab diamond center stone.
