Can I insure a lab diamond?

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks.

Step by Step

1. Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
2. Check the return policy on the listing
3. Order a size slightly larger if unsure
4. Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
5. Store separately to avoid scratches

I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.

After trying several options myself,

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.

I talked to my jeweler about this last month. My ring came from Blue Nile with a full certificate. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

This is one of the most common questions I see here. I bought mine from Etsy for about $3,000. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

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