Can I insure a lab diamond?

I will give you the straight answer. I bought mine from Charles & Colvard for about $100. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

I went through this exact decision last year.

What My Jeweler Said

My bench jeweler told me the main thing people regret is skimping on the setting. The stone itself is fine, but a weak prong will let it fall out. Spend a bit more on a solid setting.

Bottom Line

Yes, it is worth it for most people. Just buy from a known seller and inspect the prongs every six months.

Good thinking asking this before buying. A friend of mine got hers from Brilliant Earth and loves it. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

Let me break this down clearly. A friend of mine got hers from Blue Nile and loves it. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

Great question.
