Lab White Diamond Marquise Shield 2.51ct
This is a 2.51 carat lab-grown white diamond in a Marquis Shield brilliant cut, measuring 16.49 by 7mm. A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond, chemically and optically identical to a mined one, grown in a lab rather than pulled from the earth, so it is never fake or lesser. Graded at D color and VVS2 clarity, this stone carries size and clarity that a mined equivalent would price far higher.
Cost is the dominant reason buyers choose lab: this stone often runs many thousands less than a comparable mined diamond, so the budget stretches to more carat and character. Ethics is a real secondary draw. A natural-diamond market genuinely exists, so lab is the budget-and-values fit rather than the only smart choice. One honest note: a lab diamond has essentially no secondary-market resale value, so buy it to wear and keep, not as an asset.
Heather and her team hand-selected this diamond for Bohemi's studio in Boulder, Colorado. Bohemi does not sell loose stones: this diamond is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece, and the $3,000 price is the starting point for that ring. You can see it in person at the Boulder store, or explore the full range of engagement rings.
