Lab diamond engagement rings are for clients who want a real diamond, strong visual quality and more size flexibility within their budget. This page focuses on buying and designing a lab diamond engagement ring, not repeating the full parent lab-grown diamond education page.
The strongest lab diamond ring choice is not simply the biggest stone. It is the right balance between shape, cut, size, setting, metal, finger size, lifestyle and budget.
Oval, round, pear, radiant, cushion, emerald, marquise and princess shapes each create a different ring personality.
Solitaire, hidden halo, halo, three-stone and vintage settings each suit different tastes and budgets.
Yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and platinum change the final tone, maintenance profile and feel.
CAD design can help confirm the proportions and structure before production begins.
