3 Carat Asscher Cut White Gold Lab Diamond Ring+ 3.0-Carat Asscher Lab Created Diamond

Lab diamonds have a significantly smaller environmental footprint than mined diamonds. They require no land disruption, no large-scale excavation, and can be produced in facilities powered by renewable energy. For shoppers who care about environmental impact, lab diamonds are one of the most responsible stone choices available.

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 3 carat Asscher lab diamond in 14k white gold is a stunning Art Deco-inspired combination. The Asscher's step-cut facets create a captivating hall-of-mirrors depth effect that is especially mesmerizing at the 3 carat size, where the open facet pattern has room to truly shine. The bright rhodium-plated finish of 14k white gold provides a crisp, cool frame that enhances the Asscher's geometric precision and clean light flashes.

Yes. Like other step cuts, the Asscher's open table facet makes inclusions and color more visible than in brilliant cuts, which use sparkle to hide imperfections. For a clean-looking Asscher cut, VS2 or better clarity is typically recommended. The stone should be viewed in person or with high-quality video to assess how it looks in natural light.

A 3 carat lab diamond is chemically and optically identical to a mined stone, and the asscher cut's step facets at this size create a breathtaking hall-of-mirrors effect. Set in 14k white gold, the bright rhodium-plated finish keeps the focus on the diamond's clarity and depth.
