How long does a lab-grown diamond consultation take?

certifications or engagement ring settings.
What should I bring to my lab-grown diamond appointment?

approximate carat size, a budget range or examples of engagement
ring settings you like. If the diamond will be paired with an
existing ring, bring the ring so our team can evaluate it with you.
What should I compare when choosing a lab-grown diamond?
When choosing a lab-grown diamond, compare cut quality, light
performance, color, clarity, carat weight, proportions and
certification. Two diamonds with similar grades can look
noticeably different in person, which is why a side-by-side
comparison can be helpful.
Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds with the same fundamental
crystal structure and optical characteristics as mined diamonds.
The primary difference is their origin: lab-grown diamonds are
created in a controlled environment rather than formed naturally
underground.
Can I compare certified lab-grown diamonds during my appointment?
Yes. Your consultation can include comparisons of certified
lab-grown diamonds. We will help you understand the information
shown on a diamond grading report and explain how the listed cut,
color, clarity, carat weight and proportions relate to the
diamond’s appearance.
Can I choose a loose lab-grown diamond before selecting a ring setting?
Yes. You can select a loose lab-grown diamond before choosing an
engagement ring setting. Many clients prefer to choose the center
diamond first and then compare settings that complement its shape,
proportions and size.
Can Christopher Fine Diamonds help me pair a lab-grown diamond with an engagement ring?
Yes. Christopher Fine Diamonds can help you pair a lab-grown
diamond with an engagement ring setting. We can discuss your
preferred style, metal, diamond shape and overall design so the
center diamond and setting work well together.
Is there an obligation to purchase after the consultation?
No. The consultation is designed to be educational and
pressure-free. You are not obligated to purchase a lab-grown
diamond or engagement ring after your appointment.
