3 Carat Princess Cut 18k White Gold Lab Diamond Ring+ 3.0-Carat Princess 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.

When freshly rhodium-plated, the two are nearly indistinguishable visually. As the plating wears, 18k may develop a slightly warmer yellow undertone compared to 14k because of its higher gold content. Both need periodic replating to maintain their bright white appearance, which effectively resets the color difference between them. Do Amore offers free maintenance services on white gold.

A 3 carat princess cut lab diamond in 18k white gold is a powerful combination of modern geometry and premium materials. The princess cut concentrates light into intense, fiery flashes, and at 3 carats the square profile makes a commanding statement on the finger. The 18k white gold offers a richer, more luxurious band than 14k while still providing the bright white backdrop that lets the lab diamond's natural brilliance dominate.

Princess cut uses brilliant faceting, producing sparkle that is comparable to a round brilliant in intensity. The difference is pattern: princess cuts show a cross-shaped or chevron pattern of light rather than the circular pattern of a round. Both are high-brilliance cuts. Princess is a strong choice for anyone who wants diamond-quality sparkle in a non-circular shape.
