Plain answers to the questions every couple asks at the velvet.

The 4Cs — but useful.

))}Same chemistry. Different price. Different story.
Eva sells both, honestly. The decision is yours — here is the trade-off, laid out.
What it is
{stone === "natural" ? "Carbon crystallised under the earth's crust over billions of years; mined, cut, certified. Chemically identical to lab-grown — but with a geological provenance." : "Carbon crystallised in a lab over a few weeks using HPHT or CVD. Chemically and optically identical to a natural diamond — same hardness, same brilliance."}
Typical price
{stone === "natural" ? "From AED ~3,500/ct for melee up to AED 200,000+/ct for D-flawless. Our 1.31ct natural-fancy-yellow engagement ring is AED 13,335." : "Roughly 25–40% of a comparable natural stone. Our 2-carat lab-grown solitaire is AED 4,999; a 3.5ct pear is AED 7,499."}
Certification
{stone === "natural" ? "GIA is the standard. IGI and HRD also widely accepted." : "IGI dominates. GIA also grades lab-grown — its reports are clearly distinguished from natural."}
Resale
{stone === "natural" ? "Holds value better and is more readily resold or reset." : "Resale value is still emerging. Buy a lab-grown because you love the stone today, not as an investment."}
GIA, IGI, HRD — what each means.
Every diamond Eva sets above 0.3ct comes with a grading report. Three letters do the work.

18K gold and platinum, explained.
18K Yellow Gold
Warm, traditional, the classic Dubai metal. 75% gold, 25% silver & copper. Doesn't tarnish; needs no plating.
18K Rose Gold
Pink hue from a higher copper alloy. Flatters most skin tones, especially under sunlight. Doesn't fade.
18K White Gold
Gold alloyed with palladium and rhodium-plated for a cool finish. Replating every 18–24 months — free at Eva.
Platinum
Denser, naturally white, hypoallergenic, never needs plating. About 30–40% more expensive than white gold for the same piece.
