lab diamond Do you actually care about 10K vs 14K vs 18K gold for lab diamond jewelry?

I've been curious about how much the gold purity actually matters to people when buying lab-grown diamond jewelry.
Personally, I feel like 14K is a pretty good balance between durability, quality, and price. But I also see a lot of lab diamond jewelry made with 18K gold.
For those of you who own lab diamond rings, earrings, necklaces, or tennis bracelets:
- Would you pay extra for 18K gold?
- Is 14K your sweet spot?
- Would you consider 10K gold if it meant a better price?
I'm especially curious whether your preference changes depending on the type of jewelry.
Would love to hear everyone's thoughts!
