I’ve been considering a lab diamond for years. I’ve always been “extra” and wanted a large center stone. My wedding ring was moissonite (my choice) and I’ve always kind of resented that I didn’t get a diamond (diamonds are forever). So for years I have been researching lab diamonds and shopping the different online lab diamond retailers. I came across Mikado Diamonds and was a bit skeptical, however I finally decided to take the plunge. I chose a 3.05 carat, G color, radiant cut, VVS2 clarity center lab diamond, with a platinum setting, halo diamonds to accentuate the center stone, and diamond accents on the band. My ring took about 4 weeks to arrive. I was nervous. The ring came in 4 weeks as expected requiring signature for delivery. The ring box is beautiful and classy. The ring is gorgeous. My ring finger is a size 4.25. I feel I may need accent bands for both sides as the center stone is very large (Woop Woop) and the band is almost too dainty for it, but that was my selection. The more I look at it, the more obsessed I become. I’m glad I got my fat rock, and I’m glad it is a real diamond. Also glad it is not a “blood diamond”. Lab diamonds are the exact same thing as real diamonds, just with a laser inscription. I will be buying more diamonds from mikado. I can’t wait to buy more.
