About 3 Carat Diamonds
According to most diamond experts, anything over 2 carats is significantly big. So yes, 3 carat diamonds are in the category of 'huge' diamonds. Size is not the most important factor while buying a diamond though. Things like color, cut, and clarity of diamond matter more. Explore our complete range of H Color VS1 Clarity Diamonds and H-VS1 Diamonds. If you are choosing diamond for a ring, then the design also matters a lot.
On average, the price of a 3 carat diamond varies depending on its cut, quality, clarity, color, and whether it's a mined or lab diamond. Ultimately, the choice between a lab-grown and a mined diamond is a personal one and depends entirely on individual preferences and mindset. Generally, you can expect to pay $40,000 - $50,000 for a fair value 3 carat mined diamond. For a lab diamond, $7,000 - $11,000 is the range.
A 3-carat diamond is big enough in size and carat weight to stand out. This diamond size is also ok enough to easily wear in a ring. Many diamond lovers find that this size is just right for them.
Professional jewelers and gemologists cannot really tell the difference between a lab grown diamond and a natural one just by looking at it, with the naked eye. They have to use a microscope to look for the minute differences in its inclusions, that tell how it was formed.
We, at dimend SCAASI, have a team of expert gemologists that can help you find the best 3 Carat Diamonds in Chicago.
Why Choose Lab-Diamonds?
Lab created diamonds (also known as man-made diamonds, and cultured diamonds), are pure, crystallized carbon diamonds grown in a controlled laboratory environment. They have the exact same physical, chemical, and optical properties as earth-mined diamonds. They are also graded on the same scale as earth-mined diamonds and come with a grading report/certificate.
ECO FRIENDLY
Lab-grown diamonds require less space and resources to produce stones than that of the monolith mines that wreak havoc on local ecosystems.
VALUE
Lab-grown diamonds offer excellent value and are 30-50% more affordable than mined diamonds of comparable size and quality.
CONFLICT-FREE
Lab-grown diamonds never fund foreign conflict. Further, work conditions are carefully regulated and never exploit child laborers.
