Lab-Grown Oval Diamond in F+ Color, VS+ Clarity (1 ct.)

A 1 ct. loose lab-grown oval diamond measuring 7.9 x 5.5mm, graded F+ in color and VS+ in clarity — a bright, near-colorless stone ready for setting.

Lab-grown diamonds are produced in controlled environments through high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes. They are chemically, optically, and physically identical to mined diamonds, with the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale and the same fire and brilliance. Lab-grown stones typically arrive at a fraction of the cost of comparable mined diamonds and carry a clearer sourcing trail, which has made them a leading choice for modern engagement rings and heirloom-intent pieces.

The oval cut elongates the finger when set in a ring and carries a larger visual footprint than a round of equivalent carat weight. At 1 ct., this stone reads as a true center stone — substantial enough to anchor a solitaire, a hidden halo, or a three-stone setting. It suits a buyer designing a custom engagement ring or upgrading an existing center stone.
