The classification of fine jewelry rests on material composition, and gold over silver meets it at both layers: the base is sterling silver, the surface is genuine gold.
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.
Industry Insight
Carat weight is mass, 0.2 grams per carat, and the price jumps at recognized thresholds like 0.50 and 1.00 carats reflect genuine rarity rather than convention. A diamond at 0.95 carats and one at 1.05 carats may look nearly identical in a setting while carrying meaningfully different prices, which is a practical consideration worth knowing.
