Lab diamond engagement rings, also known as lab-grown diamond engagement rings, feature diamonds created in a laboratory using advanced technological processes that replicate the natural formation of diamonds. These diamonds are identical to natural diamonds in terms of their physical, chemical, and optical properties, offering the same beauty and durability. The key difference is their origin: lab diamonds are man-made, while natural diamonds are mined from the earth.
The cost of lab diamond engagement rings can vary widely depending on the size, quality, and design of the ring. Generally, lab diamonds are priced 40-60% lower than their natural counterparts of similar quality. For example, a 1-carat lab diamond engagement ring might range from $1,000 to $2,000, while a similar natural diamond ring could cost $5,000 to $10,000 or more. Our collection offers a wide range of options to suit every budget, from entry-level pieces to luxurious designs.
