1ct Round Lab Grown Diamond Ring | 14K Gold

Round is the only diamond shape a laboratory grades for cut itself. Every other outline gets marks for polish and symmetry and nothing more, because there is no agreed ideal to measure it against. The round has one. The proportions that send the most light back out through the top were settled mathematically a century ago, and a stone either falls inside that window or it does not. This one is graded ideal cut.

Those two words do more work than the color and clarity grades beside them. A round cut too shallow leaks light through its bottom and goes watery in the middle; one cut too deep goes dark around the rim. Neither fault survives a photograph and both are plain on a hand. Polish and symmetry come back Excellent here, which answers the other half of the question: whether facets designed correctly were also finished correctly.

At 1.00 carat this is the most compared diamond on earth, the stone every other shape is quoted against. It is the safe answer, and it is safe for a reason. Nothing about it needs explaining to the person wearing it, and nothing about it will read as a decision made in a particular year.
