Frequently Asked Questions
What is a jewelry guide?
A jewelry guide is an educational resource that helps buyers compare jewelry categories, diamonds, metals, settings, sizing, care and buying considerations.
What is fine jewelry?
Fine jewelry is made with precious metals and gemstones intended for long-term wear, repair and care.
Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. Lab grown diamonds have the same crystal structure and essentially the same chemical and optical properties as mined diamonds.
What jewelry categories does Sphere Diamond offer?
Sphere Diamond offers lab grown diamond engagement rings, wedding rings, earrings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets, bangles and custom fine jewelry.
What is the difference between an engagement ring and a wedding ring?
An engagement ring is commonly given at the proposal, while a wedding ring is exchanged during the ceremony and is often designed for daily wear beside the engagement ring.
What is the difference between a pendant and a necklace?
A pendant is the decorative element hanging from a chain. A necklace is the complete piece worn around the neck.
What is the difference between a bracelet and a bangle?
A bracelet is often flexible or linked. A bangle is generally rigid or semi-rigid and keeps a defined shape.
Which jewelry is best for everyday wear?
Low-profile rings, stud earrings, solitaire pendants, station necklaces and well-fitted bracelets are popular everyday choices.
Which jewelry makes a good gift?
Diamond studs, solitaire pendants, station necklaces and bracelets are versatile gifts because sizing is simpler than for rings.
How do I choose a diamond shape?
Compare face-up appearance, sparkle style, length-to-width ratio, setting compatibility and personal preference.
What are the 4Cs?
The 4Cs are cut, color, clarity and carat weight. Together they describe important characteristics of a diamond.
Which of the 4Cs matters most?
Cut has the strongest effect on visible sparkle, although the best balance depends on the jewelry design and budget.
What is an IGI certificate?
An IGI laboratory report records grading information for a specific diamond. Availability should be confirmed for the exact stone or jewelry piece.
Do all jewelry pieces include an IGI report?
No. IGI-certified lab grown diamonds are available for qualifying stones and selected designs. Confirm documentation before purchase.
Which metal is best for lab grown diamond jewelry?
18K white, yellow and rose gold are all popular. Platinum is suitable for selected designs. Choose based on appearance, weight, care and lifestyle.
What is the difference between white gold and platinum?
White gold is a gold alloy often rhodium plated. Platinum is naturally white, denser and develops a patina with wear.
Can jewelry be custom made?
Yes. Depending on the design, diamond shape, size, metal, setting, dimensions and personal details may be customized.
How long does custom jewelry take?
Timelines depend on design complexity, materials and production requirements. Confirm the current estimate before ordering.
How do I choose ring size?
Measure under normal conditions, compare international systems and consider band width and resizing limitations.
How do I choose necklace length?
Consider neck size, neckline, body proportions, pendant size and layering plans.
How do I choose bracelet size?
Measure the wrist where the piece will sit and add ease according to whether the design is flexible or rigid.
How should earrings fit?
They should sit straight and secure without excessive pressure, drooping or movement.
Can I mix metals?
Yes. Mixed-metal styling can look intentional when repeated across several pieces or balanced by one dominant metal color.
Can I layer necklaces?
Yes. Use different lengths and compatible chain textures to reduce tangling.
Can I stack rings and bracelets?
Yes. Check widths, setting heights, contact points and whether diamond edges may scratch adjacent jewelry.
How should I clean diamond jewelry?
Use warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, then rinse carefully and dry with a lint-free cloth.
How should I store fine jewelry?
Store each piece separately, keep chains fastened and avoid direct contact between diamonds and polished metal.
How often should jewelry be inspected?
Frequently worn pieces should be inspected periodically and whenever a stone, clasp, prong, hinge or link feels different.
Can I sleep or swim in diamond jewelry?
Removing jewelry before sleep, swimming and high-impact activity reduces wear, snagging and loss risk.
Where can I compare lab grown diamond jewelry in Bangkok?
Visit Sphere Diamond at CentralWorld Bangkok to compare categories, diamond shapes, metals, sizes and custom options.
Why should I compare jewelry in person?
In-person viewing reveals scale, comfort, movement, color, sparkle and proportions that measurements alone cannot fully show.
Does Sphere Diamond sell engagement rings and other jewelry together?
Yes. Customers can coordinate engagement rings with wedding rings, earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets and custom jewelry.
