FAQ
Q: What is the difference between a lab grown diamond and a mined diamond?
A: Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. They possess the same brilliance, fire, and hardness (10 on the Mohs scale). The only difference is their origin — lab grown diamonds are created in controlled laboratory environments using advanced technology that replicates natural diamond formation. They are certified and graded using the same standards as mined diamonds.
Q: Why choose an emerald-cut diamond?
A: The emerald cut is prized for its elegant, elongated shape and unique step-cut faceting that creates a sophisticated hall-of-mirrors effect. This cut emphasises clarity over sparkle, offering a refined, vintage-inspired aesthetic. It's perfect for someone who appreciates understated glamour and timeless design. The emerald cut also makes fingers appear longer and more slender.
Q: Can this ring be resized?
A: Yes, this ring can be professionally resized by our in-house jewellers at Cassim & Co. We recommend having your finger sized accurately in-store to ensure the perfect fit. Please contact us before purchasing to discuss sizing options, as some adjustments may require a few days to complete.
Q: Is 9ct white gold durable enough for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. 9ct white gold (37.5% pure gold alloyed with durable metals) is an excellent choice for engagement rings as it offers superior strength and resistance to scratching compared to higher carat golds. It maintains its lustrous finish beautifully with regular wear and requires only occasional professional cleaning to keep it looking pristine.
Q: Does this ring come with a certificate?
A: Lab grown diamonds typically come with certification from reputable gemological laboratories. Please enquire in-store or contact us to confirm the specific certification accompanying this 1.00ct emerald-cut lab grown diamond, which will detail the stone's specifications including cut, clarity, colour, and carat weight.
Q: Can I add a personalised engraving?
A: Yes, Cassim & Co. offers personalised engraving services for all our jewellery. You can add a meaningful date, initials, or short message inside the band to make this engagement ring truly unique. Please allow additional time for custom engraving — our team will advise you on character limits and font options.
Q: What wedding band style complements an emerald-cut solitaire?
A: The slender band design of this solitaire pairs beautifully with a matching 9ct white gold wedding band. Classic straight bands, delicate pavé bands, or even a curved contour band that nestles against the setting all work wonderfully. Visit our boutique and our jewellery consultants will help you explore wedding band options that complement this engagement ring perfectly.

While there is no formal manufacturer warranty on jewellery, we guarantee our workmanship — if there is a manufacturing defect or craftsmanship issue with this ring, we will repair or replace the piece at no charge. This guarantee applies to items manufactured or sold by Cassim & Co.
- Our workmanship guarantee covers manufacturing defects and craftsmanship issues in the setting, metalwork, and assembly of this ring.
- This guarantee does not cover damage resulting from normal wear and tear, accidents, improper care, resizing by third parties, or loss of stones due to impact or neglect.
- We recommend having your ring inspected annually at our boutique to ensure prongs and settings remain secure — this complementary service helps prevent stone loss.
- Professional cleaning, polishing, and maintenance services are available at Cassim & Co. for the lifetime of your jewellery.
- Any modifications, repairs, or resizing performed by third-party jewellers will void this workmanship guarantee.

Care Guide
- Remove your ring when performing manual tasks, exercising, or using cleaning chemicals to prevent damage or loosening of the stone setting.
- Clean your white gold and diamond ring regularly using warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
- Have your ring professionally inspected and cleaned every 6-12 months at Cassim & Co. to ensure prongs remain secure and the setting is intact.
- Store your ring separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratching from contact with other pieces.
- White gold may develop a slight patina over time. Professional re-polishing and rhodium plating (if applied) can restore its original brilliance — this service is available at our Mall of the South boutique.
- Avoid exposing your ring to harsh chemicals, chlorine, or extreme temperatures which may affect the metal finish.
- Remove your ring before swimming, bathing, or sleeping to preserve its condition and prevent accidental loss.
- Lab grown diamonds are as durable as mined diamonds (hardness 10) and resistant to scratching, but the setting requires regular maintenance to ensure the stone remains secure.
