1 Carat Old Mine Oval I Color Lab Grown Diamonds

I can be very appropriate, especially in yellow gold. Original antique ovals were rarely colorless. I color in yellow gold creates authentic period character. One carat lab grown diamonds are a great starting point. For modern white-gold interpretations, G or F is recommended.

Yellow gold is strongly recommended. The warm metal neutralizes body color while complementing the antique faceting. I color in yellow gold creates the most historically authentic elongated vintage combination.

I offers excellent value for vintage enthusiasts choosing yellow gold. The savings over G (15% to 25%) combined with authentic period character makes I compelling for the elongated antique aesthetic.

The difference between I and J color is very difficult to detect with the naked eye in a old mine oval cut, though step-cut facets can show color slightly more readily. Once set in a ring, both grades appear very similar. Choosing J color over I in a 1 carat old mine oval can free up budget for a better cut or larger stone.
