The Maren Ring | 1.58 CT Oval Diamond - East/West Set

Lab-grown diamonds match the quality of natural diamonds. They are produced in a controlled setting using either high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) methods or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques. As a result, these diamonds have the same crystal structure and physical properties as those formed naturally, including their exceptional hardness. Both lab-grown and natural diamonds are rated 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, making them extremely resistant to scratching and equally durable.

• The Mohs scale is a measurement system used to assess and compare the hardness of minerals. Developed by Friedrich Mohs in 1812, it assigns a ranking from 1 to 10 to minerals based on their ability to scratch or be scratched by other minerals. This scale provides a simple and practical way to understand the relative hardness of different minerals, with 1 being the softest (e.g., talc) and 10 the hardest (e.g., diamond).

Lab-grown diamonds are available in a wide array of colors, spanning from completely colorless to vibrant hues. They cover the full spectrum, including:

• Colorless (D-F): Ranging from absolutely clear to near colorless.
• Near Colorless (G-J): Slightly tinted but still predominantly clear.
• Faint (K-M): Noticeable yellow or brown tints.
• Fancy Colors: Includes yellow, brown, pink, blue, green, and more exotic shades.
