Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Rings

Yes! Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to their mined counterparts. The only difference is their origin. That means that with a lab diamond engagement ring, you can get a much bigger, nicer diamond for the same price and enjoy the same longevity and sparkle as you’d get with a traditional mined diamond ring.

Lab diamond engagement rings cost significantly less than mined diamond rings do. The bigger and nicer the diamond, the more you save with lab-grown. A small lab-grown diamond might be 40% less than its mined counterpart, but a very high quality, large natural diamond could be many times the cost of its lab-grown diamond equivalent. You can get a bigger, more beautiful diamond for the same price when you go with lab-grown–and sometimes still end up with more money left in your pocket.

A lab-grown diamond ring can give you all the beauty and lasting sparkle of a mined diamond with a lighter footprint and a lower cost. If this aligns with your values, then a lab diamond engagement ring is probably a great option for you!

Despite long-time efforts of the jewelry industry to make consumers believe otherwise, with rare exceptions, jewelry should not be purchased as an investment. Both mined and lab-grown diamonds have decreased in value in recent years, and recycling your gold and platinum generally recovers only a portion of the purchase price. The better opportunity is to save money with a lab-grown diamond upfront and invest the difference in a more proven investment vehicle. You will come out much further ahead down the road. Think about your engagement ring purchase as an investment in your happiness and an heirloom to pass down, rather than a financial investment to turn around and sell for a profit.

Yes! Lab diamond engagement rings last just as long as regular diamond rings do. Because diamonds are the hardest gemstone (10 on Moh’s scale), they keep their sparkle over time and are almost impossible to scratch. Whether your lab-grown diamond engagement ring is mined or created, with care and maintenance, it can last lifetimes.
