Pick a Lab Diamond

FAQs

A 1 carat E color lab diamond offers colorless quality virtually identical to D color at a lower price point. One carat lab diamonds are a great starting point and were the average diamond size for many decades before lab diamonds came around. At 1 carat, the tiny trace of color in an E grade is completely invisible to the naked eye, meaning you get the same visual result as D color with savings you can put toward a better cut or setting.
A 1 carat E color lab grown diamond appears consistently white and colorless across all lighting environments, from fluorescent office light to warm candlelight to natural daylight. At this size and color grade, there is no visible warmth or color shift under any normal viewing conditions. The stone will look bright, clean, and icy regardless of the setting or environment.
Whether E color is worth choosing over G color at 1 carat depends on your setting metal. In platinum or white gold, the difference between E and G may be subtly detectable side by side, though both look white on their own. In yellow or rose gold, both are indistinguishable. E color is the better choice if you prioritize the certainty of absolute colorlessness in a cool-toned setting. G color offers more value if budget is a factor.
Yes, Do Amore carries E color diamonds that are visually indistinguishable from D once set in a ring, offering colorless quality at a lower price point. Every stone is certified by GIA, IGI, or GCAL.
