1 Carat Princess Cut White Gold Lab Diamond Ring+ 1.0-Carat Princess Lab Created Diamond

Lab diamonds typically cost 50 to 70 percent less than mined diamonds of comparable size, cut, color, and clarity. That price gap has widened as lab diamond production has scaled up. For most couples, this means getting a noticeably larger or higher-quality stone for the same budget.

Most 14k white gold alloys do contain nickel, which is used to achieve the white color in the metal mix. People with nickel allergies should be aware of this before choosing white gold. If sensitivity is a concern, platinum or palladium are naturally white metals that do not contain nickel and are fully hypoallergenic.

A 1 carat lab diamond typically costs between $800 and $2,500 depending on cut, color, and clarity. At 1 carat, this was the average diamond size for many decades before lab-grown diamonds came along, making it a proven, timeless choice. Do Amore offers free maintenance services on white gold. That gap has widened in recent years as lab diamond production has grown. Lab grown offers significantly more stone for the same budget.

Princess cut is the second most popular engagement ring shape after round. Its square or slightly rectangular outline and brilliant facets produce excellent sparkle while offering a more modern, geometric look than round. It appeals to people who want maximum brilliance in a contemporary shape. It also tends to look larger face-up than a round of similar carat weight. A 1 carat stone offers the timeless proportions that made it the default engagement ring size for most of the 20th century.

Do Amore approaches every ring with the same standard: recycled metals, conflict-free stones, and handcrafted quality from their US workshop. This 1 carat princess cut lab diamond in 14k white gold features the princess cut's sharp, modern geometry with brilliant-cut fire concentrated through its faceted pavilion. The lab diamond matches a mined stone in every physical property, and every sale funds one person's clean water through charity: water.
