For someone who wears their jewelry every day rather than saving it, a bezel-setting is worth considering: the metal wall covers the stone's most vulnerable edges, and there are no prong tips to catch or bend with use.
Stone Story
Lab-grown diamonds cover the full color spectrum: colorless for buyers who want the classic look, and vivid yellows, blues, and pinks achievable through controlled trace element introduction or post-growth treatment. Colors exist in mined diamonds, but the price points of the lab-grown category makes them considerably more accessible.
A Storied Heritage
The Hope Diamond's traceable provenance from 17th-century India through the French crown jewels to the Smithsonian, the Koh-i-Noor's passage through Mughal, Sikh, and British imperial possession, and the Cullinan's discovery in 1905 and subsequent cutting into the Great and Lesser Stars of Africa together constitute the most extensively documented provenance chain in gemstone history.
