Thea Solitario Rotondo | Diamante da Laboratorio

I was nervous about buying a diamond online, but this round solitaire looks even more brilliant in person than in the photos. The lab-grown stone has a crisp, icy sparkle that feels just as substantial as any mined diamond I've compared it to, and the setting sits low enough that it doesn't snag on

The facets catch the light from every angle, and I keep catching myself just staring at my hand instead of working. It's exactly the modern-yet-classic look I wanted, and knowing it's lab-grown made the whole process feel guilt-free.

The setting sits so low and flush that it never snags on my sweaters, and the round facet pattern catches light from every angle in my kitchen. I've had it two weeks and still find myself staring at my hand during meetings.
