Pick a Lab Diamond

FAQs

I color may be faintly visible in a 1 carat princess cut lab grown diamond to a very trained or color-sensitive eye, but for most people it appears white and clean. The princess cut's brilliant faceting helps minimize the perception of I color's slight warmth. At 1 carat, the stone is small enough that body color is less prominent than it would be at 2 or 3 carats. Setting in yellow or rose gold effectively eliminates any warmth.
Yellow gold and rose gold are the best metals for a 1 carat princess cut I color lab created diamond. The warm metal tones neutralize the diamond's slight body color, making it appear whiter. White gold can also work at 1 carat since the stone is small enough that the warmth is subtle, but warm-toned metals give the most seamless look. A pave or halo setting in yellow gold beautifully complements I color.
Choosing I color over G color at 1 carat in a princess cut lab grown diamond typically saves 15% to 25%. This savings is meaningful, potentially allowing you to upgrade to a better cut grade, higher clarity, or a more detailed ring setting. In a yellow or rose gold setting, the visual result of I color is virtually indistinguishable from G color, making the savings entirely practical with no aesthetic compromise.
