US guides
A proposal date is a deadline. Insured US delivery plus a day to check the report should sit before that date, not on it.
Do not wait on a “similar stone later.” Similar is how the 4Cs drift.
Request the exact lab-grown diamond, confirm it, then schedule the proposal. If a US jeweler must set it first, add their turnaround.
Use the lab-grown catalog now rather than a mood board. Carat Mate ships the certified loose diamond and its lab report to United States addresses. Prices on the site are in USD. Wrong-item returns may be considered within 3 days of delivery, subject to review.
