Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about lab-grown diamonds, our process, and the Gabriella Amoura experience.
Lab-Grown Diamonds
Yes — 100%. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. Same carbon crystal structure, same 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, same brilliance and fire. The only difference is origin: ours are created in controlled lab environments using advanced HPHT or CVD technology, not extracted from the earth.
Not with the naked eye, and not even under standard jeweler's magnification. Lab-grown and mined diamonds are indistinguishable without specialized spectroscopic equipment used by gemological laboratories. That's because they are the same material — pure crystallized carbon.
Lab-grown diamonds are typically 60–70% less expensive than comparable mined stones. A 1-carat lab-grown diamond that would cost $5,000+ as a mined stone can be purchased for around $1,500–2,000. At Gabriella Amoura, we pass those savings directly to you with transparent pricing — no mystery markups.
Every Gabriella Amoura diamond is graded and certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI), one of the world's leading gemological laboratories. Each stone comes with a digital passport detailing carat weight, color, clarity, cut grade, and origin verification.
Lab-grown diamonds, like mined diamonds, are not investment assets — they're personal luxury goods. The difference is transparency: we don't inflate prices to create an illusion of resale value. You pay for the quality of the stone and the craftsmanship of the setting, not a markup designed to make you feel like you're 'investing.'
Ordering & Pricing
We go direct-to-lab, eliminating middlemen and unnecessary markups. We use technology to streamline design and inventory, and we don't maintain expensive retail showrooms. The savings flow straight to you — same luxury-grade materials, honest pricing.
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) through our secure Stripe checkout. Apple Pay and Google Pay are also available for a faster checkout experience.
We're working on adding flexible financing options. In the meantime, reach out to our team at hello@gabriellaamoura.com and we'll work with you to find a solution that fits your budget.
Ring Builder
The Ring Builder is our custom engagement ring design tool. Choose from 6 styles (solitaire, halo, hidden halo, three stone, pavé, and vintage), 3 metal colors (white, yellow, or rose gold in 14K), and 7 diamond shapes. Preview your ring in 3D video, then submit for a transparent quote.
Custom rings typically take 2–3 weeks from approval to delivery. We'll keep you updated at every stage — from casting to setting to final quality check. Rush orders may be available; contact us to discuss your timeline.
Absolutely. The Ring Builder gives you a starting point. Once you submit your design, our team reviews it and can make adjustments — different carat weights, side stone configurations, engraving, or metal changes. We'll send you an updated quote before proceeding.
Shipping & Delivery
Yes — free insured shipping on all orders over $500. Standard shipping (5–7 business days) is available for all orders. Express shipping (2–3 business days) is available for an additional fee. Every shipment is fully insured from our studio to your door.
We currently ship within the United States. International shipping is coming soon. Sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know when we expand.
Returns & Care
We offer a 30-day return policy on all non-custom pieces. Items must be unworn and in their original packaging. Custom Ring Builder orders are final sale, but we stand behind our craftsmanship — if there's a quality issue, we'll make it right.
Lab-grown diamonds are just as durable as mined diamonds (10 on the Mohs scale), so everyday wear is absolutely fine. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals. Store pieces separately to prevent scratching. We recommend professional cleaning once a year.
Yes. If your ring doesn't fit perfectly, we offer one complimentary resize within 60 days of purchase. After that, resizing is available for a small fee. Contact us at hello@gabriellaamoura.com to arrange it.
