Lab grown diamonds are chemically, optically, and physically identical to natural diamonds, scoring 10 on the Mohs hardness scale for maximum durability. They cost 30-60% less than natural ones of the same quality and carat weight while maintaining the same brilliance. They're also environmentally responsible, producing up to 99% less carbon emissions and using only 18 gallons of water per carat compared to 126 for mined diamonds. This makes lab grown diamonds the perfect choice for eco-conscious shoppers seeking luxury without environmental impact.

• Engagement Rings: Most customers choose 1-2 carats for optimal sparkle and value, with options ranging from 0.5 to 5.
• Eternity Bands are available in Petite (3ctw), Small (4ctw), Medium (5ctw), and Large (6ctw) sizes.

Michael Gabriels offers a wide selection of diamond shapes across all jewelry categories. Round brilliant cuts offer maximum sparkle and timeless elegance with 57-58 precisely-cut facets. Cushion cuts provide vintage-inspired aesthetics with soft, rounded corners. Oval diamonds create elegant, elongated silhouettes that flatter various styles. Emerald and Asscher cuts deliver geometric sophistication with art deco elegance. Radiant cuts combine contemporary brilliance with substantial light reflection. Princess cuts offer modern sophistication. Pear, Marquise, and Heart shapes add distinctive personality and romantic symbolism to designs.

All Black Friday jewelry pieces are available in 14K white, yellow, and rose gold, with platinum available by request. White gold offers a classic, modern look that enhances diamond brightness. Yellow gold provides warmth and traditional elegance for warm skin tones. Rose gold delivers a trendy, romantic aesthetic that flatters all complexions. Platinum is the most durable and hypoallergenic option for lasting, high-quality pieces.

Michael Gabriels maintains high standards with E-F color grades (nearly colorless with minimal tint) and VS to VS1 clarity (Very Slightly Included, appearing flawless to the naked eye). E-F ensures diamonds appear brilliantly white and uniform, creating seamless sparkle. VS1 clarity means inclusions are virtually invisible without magnification, ensuring brilliance and visual appeal. For most pieces, Michael Gabriels does not offer diamonds below VS1, prioritizing superior quality and brilliance over bargain grades.

Absolutely! Michael Gabriels offers full customization on all jewelry pieces with no extra fees, even during Black Friday. You can choose your preferred metal color (white, yellow, or rose gold), diamond shape, carat weight, setting style, and design details. For tennis necklaces and pendants, select chain lengths (14-24 inches). For engagement rings, choose from various styles including solitaire, halo, three-stone, and vintage-inspired designs. Customization typically ships within two weeks, maintaining the same quality and craftsmanship as pre-made designs.

For accurate sizing, have your finger measured at a jewelry shop. If buying online, Michael Gabriels customers can contact the support team at

Call +1-845-697-9544 to schedule an in-person appointment. Important tips: measure multiple times at different times of day since fingers swell in heat and shrink in cold. Your dominant hand is usually slightly larger. If you're between sizes for full eternity bands, size up as they can't be resized and fit tighter due to continuous diamonds.
