Where a round gets its fire
The round brilliant is cut so that light entering the table bounces off the lower facets and returns upward, which gives it the liveliest flashes of any outline. At one carat the face spans roughly 6.5 mm, big enough to read from across a table while staying neat on a slender finger.
Solitaire, pavé or hidden halo
- Bare solitaire: one round on a smooth shank, nothing else asking for attention.
- Pavé shoulders: tiny lab-grown diamond accents climb the band toward the head.
- Hidden halo: a collar of accents sits under the round, seen mainly in profile.
Platinum against gold
Platinum carries real heft and keeps its whiteness without any plating. White gold copies the look for less money, and yellow or rose gold sets up a warm edge that throws the round's whiteness into relief. Shanks measure about 1.8–2.5 mm depending on the design.
Keeping a round lively
Skin oil on the table cuts a round's sparkle quickly. Once a week, let the ring sit a few minutes in warm, sudsy water and work a soft toothbrush under the prongs. Leave it on the dresser for weight training and yard work.

How much does a 1 carat round diamond ring cost?
Expect a starting figure a little over $900 when the 1-carat lab-grown round sits in the base metal, with most designs near $1,100. The round is mounted and included in that figure. Platinum, pavé or a hidden halo can raise the total, and IGI or GIA grades each round, report included.
