Question 1

What is Love & Diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Love & Diamonds is a fine jewelry brand based in Cebu, founded on July 2, 2022. We specialize in sustainable, lab-grown diamond jewelry — engagement rings, wedding bands, and fine jewelry pieces — all set in real 14K and 18K gold. Our pieces are IGI-certified, thoughtfully designed, and made for people who want beautiful jewelry they can feel good about. Shop online at lovediamonds.ph or visit our showroom at SM City Cebu.

Question 2

What makes Love & Diamonds different from other jewelry brands?

Accepted Answer

We focus on one thing: lab-grown diamonds in real gold. Every stone we use is an IGI-certified lab-grown diamond — chemically, physically, and optically identical to a mined diamond, but created without mining. For us, this isn't a compromise. It's a better choice for your budget, for the planet, and for peace of mind. We also believe buying an engagement ring should feel exciting, not overwhelming — which is why we offer the Dream Ring Builder and personalized consultations.

Question 3

Is Love & Diamonds a legitimate jewelry brand?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We're a registered brand in the Philippines with a physical showroom at SM City Cebu. Our diamonds are certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI), one of the world's leading gemological labs. Every purchase includes certification, and we're transparent about every stone we sell. You can also visit us in person, book an appointment online, or reach us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok @lovediamonds.ph.

Question 4

Where can I find Love & Diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Our main showroom is at the Lower Ground Level, Main Mall, SM City Cebu, North Reclamation Area, Cebu City — open every day from 11 AM to 8 PM. We also currently have a limited-run pop-up at NUSTAR Cebu, 2nd Floor — follow us on @lovediamonds.ph for updates on pop-up schedules and future events. For online orders and inquiries, visit lovediamonds.ph or send us a message on social media.

Question 5

Does Love & Diamonds offer gift vouchers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our physical gift vouchers come in various denominations and are a thoughtful way to celebrate someone's milestone — whether it's an engagement, anniversary, or birthday. Contact our team to purchase or to ask about redemption options.

Question 6

Does Love & Diamonds offer corporate gifting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer corporate gifting and bulk order services with customized options available. Reach out to our team to talk through what you have in mind.

Question 7

What are lab-grown diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds — not simulants, not imitations. They're created in a controlled environment using technology that replicates the natural conditions deep within the earth where diamonds form. The result is a stone with the exact same chemical composition, hardness, and optical properties as a mined diamond. The only difference is how it came to be.

Question 8

Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds have the same crystal structure, hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), and light performance as earth-mined diamonds. They're graded using the exact same 4Cs — Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat — by the same gemological institutes. At Love & Diamonds, our stones are certified by the IGI (International Gemological Institute), one of the world's most respected diamond grading labs.

Question 9

Why does Love & Diamonds choose lab-grown diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Because we believe there's a better way. Lab-grown diamonds require no mining — meaning no land disruption, no habitat destruction, and no conflict-sourcing concerns. They give you a larger, higher-quality stone for the same price as a smaller mined diamond, with full traceability and certification. For us, choosing lab-grown is a values decision as much as it is a practical one.

Question 10

What is the difference between lab-grown diamonds and diamond simulants like moissanite or cubic zirconia?

Accepted Answer

Lab-grown diamonds are not simulants. Moissanite and cubic zirconia are entirely different materials — they look like diamonds but have different chemical compositions and optical properties. A lab-grown diamond is carbon, just like a mined diamond, and scores 10 on the Mohs hardness scale. On an IGI certificate, a lab-grown diamond is graded exactly as a diamond. Simulants are not.

Question 11

What is an IGI Certificate and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

An IGI Certificate is a grading report issued by the International Gemological Institute — one of the world's leading independent gemological labs. It grades each diamond's Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat weight, and confirms it is a lab-grown diamond. Every Love & Diamonds purchase includes certification — either an IGI certificate for graded pieces, or our own Love & Diamonds Certificate of Authenticity. Certification details are listed on each product page.

Question 12

Are Love & Diamonds' lab-grown diamonds the same quality as mined diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Yes — they're graded on the same scale. In fact, lab-grown diamonds can achieve higher clarity grades more consistently, because the controlled environment eliminates many of the natural inclusions common in mined stones. At Love & Diamonds, we carefully select diamonds for their cut, brightness, and overall quality — not just for what's on paper.

Question 13

What materials do you use for the jewelry settings?

Accepted Answer

All Love & Diamonds pieces are set in real 14K or 18K gold — yellow, white, or rose gold depending on the design. We don't use plated metals. The karat and metal type for each piece is listed on the product page.

Question 14

Do lab-grown diamonds hold their value?

Accepted Answer

Lab-grown diamonds are priced significantly lower than mined diamonds of equivalent quality, which means you get more diamond for your money upfront. Like all diamonds, their resale value fluctuates with market conditions. We're honest about this: we recommend choosing your diamond primarily for its meaning and beauty, not as a financial investment. What holds its value is the quality of the piece — and the memory it carries.

Question 15

Does Love & Diamonds specialize in engagement rings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Engagement and bridal jewelry is at the heart of what we do. We offer a range of ready-to-ship engagement rings in popular styles and shapes, as well as made-to-order and fully custom designs through our Dream Ring Builder. Every engagement ring is set with an IGI-certified lab-grown diamond in real 14K or 18K gold. Browse our engagement ring collection at lovediamonds.ph/collections/sustainable-diamond.

Question 16

What is the Dream Ring Builder?

Accepted Answer

The Dream Ring Builder is our online tool for designing a custom engagement ring from scratch. You choose your diamond shape, carat size, and setting style — and we build it for you. It's a way to create something truly yours without the overwhelming experience of traditional custom jewelry. Start designing at lovediamonds.ph/pages/lab-diamonds.

Question 17

What engagement ring styles does Love & Diamonds offer?

Accepted Answer

We carry a range of engagement ring settings: Solitaire (one center stone, clean and classic), Accent/Pavé (small side diamonds for extra sparkle), Three Stone (past, present, future symbolism), Halo (a ring of smaller diamonds around the center stone), Hidden Halo, 6 Prong, and Bezel (a modern metal edge that wraps the diamond). Each style is available in multiple diamond shapes.

Question 18

What diamond shapes are available?

Accepted Answer

Love & Diamonds engagement rings are available in Round, Oval, Emerald, Pear, Marquise, and Heart shapes. Round diamonds are the most classic and highest in brilliance. Oval and Pear shapes elongate the finger. Emerald cuts have a distinctive stepped facet pattern. The Dream Ring Builder lets you compare options before committing.

Question 19

How long does it take to make a custom engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

Most Dream Ring Builder and made-to-order engagement rings take approximately 3 to 4 weeks to create after your order is confirmed. If your timeline is tight — for an upcoming proposal or a special date — let our team know and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Question 20

Can I view the ring in person before ordering?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Visit our showroom at SM City Cebu where we'll walk you through similar styles and diamond options to help you visualize the finished piece. Because most engagement rings are made to order, your exact design may not be on display — but our team is happy to guide you in person. You can also book a virtual consultation if you're not in Cebu. Reach us on Facebook or Instagram to schedule.

Question 21

Can I design something completely custom?

Accepted Answer

Your pieces deserve a little everyday attention. Store each piece separately to avoid scratching — especially diamond against diamond. Remove jewelry before swimming, bathing, or exercising.

Bring it in to our showroom for a professional clean if needed.
