Solitaire Rings: Timeless Elegance
Solitaire engagement rings focus the spotlight on a singular diamond, providing a classic and elegant look that never goes out of style. One gem for your one and only signifies the unity you’ve found in each other, and its classic simplicity offers easy maintenance and a lower price tag, making these rings a popular and more affordable choice for soon-to-be newlyweds.
Don't mistake “simple” for boring, though — solitaire rings present countless customization options. From the shape of the diamond to the type of setting, to the number of prongs holding it to the ring, there are many details that can be crafted to your partner’s specific taste.
Halo Rings: Sparkling Surroundings
If you’re looking to enhance your solitaire diamond, a lab grown halo ring may be the perfect choice. Halo rings feature several smaller stones that surround the center diamond, accentuating the main gem and adding different dynamics to the overall appearance of the ring. This offers more customization options and protects the main stone from chips, scratches, and wear.
If the halo seems like just a little too much, a hidden halo engagement ring may be your ideal choice. In this case, the halo of smaller stones surrounds the lower edge of the center stone rather than the top, so it’s generally more noticeable from a horizontal perspective. A hidden halo accentuates the main stone without taking attention away from it, and it can deliver an entirely different gleam depending on how it catches the eye.
In either case, halo rings tend to look bigger, meaning you can often choose a smaller carat and still show off a dazzling ring with plenty of surface area.
Three Stone Rings: Symbolic and Meaningful
Every relationship has a past, present, and future, and three-stone rings symbolize each phase of the journey. These rings showcase one primary stone centered between two smaller stones, representing the unique love story you’re writing together.
Three-stone diamond engagement rings are highly customizable and give you the freedom to explore different combinations of colors, settings, and metals. Since each ring features three gems, even lower-carat diamonds come together in a remarkable display of refracted light.
Side Stone: Sophisticated and Extravagant
Side-stone engagement rings combine the elegance of a solitaire diamond with the sophistication of smaller gems lining the ring itself. This creates a similar effect to three-stone and halo rings, capturing attention without looking gaudy or overbearing. And since the side stones are neatly inlaid in the ring, they add another layer of glimmer without being prone to damage.
Lab grown diamond engagement rings with side stones are beloved for their sense of grace, balance, and versatility. They show off a different type of sparkle depending on the viewing angle, representing the poetry in motion that is your bond.
Colored Diamond Rings: Vibrant and Unique
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) rates diamonds on a color scale of D (colorless) to Z (light), but some go far beyond Z. These rare gems, known as fancy-colored diamonds cor simply fancy diamonds, offer stunningly chromatic displays that span the rainbow and then some - blacks, grays, and whites are also part of the palette.
Fancy diamonds are especially rare and gorgeous; in fact, the Hope Diamond itself is a fancy-colored diamond of a grayish blue hue. Choose a fancy-diamond engagement ring to intertwine your and your partner’s favorite colors for eternity.
Bridal Sets: Elegant and Harmonious
Choosing an engagement ring and a wedding band at the same time can help ensure the entire aesthetic is cohesive from engagement to marriage and, of course, beyond. Bridal sets feature matching engagement rings and wedding bands that are designed to be worn together, creating a cohesive look on your special day.
Bridal sets offer a level of convenience and cohesiveness while still providing the same wide range of customization options, so you can go into your big day with the perfect match for your perfect match.
Promise Ring: Symbol of Commitment
A promise ring is an exceptional way to show commitment to your partner while fostering and nurturing a healthy relationship. It represents a promise of unity and fidelity, and although promise rings tend to be more basic in design compared to other lab grown engagement rings, you can make yours as simple or intricate as you see fit; it will still result in the same meaningful spark.

Choosing an engagement ring is a momentous decision filled with excitement and emotion. This ring symbolizes your commitment and love for your partner, and they’re going to wear it every day. So, how do you choose the perfect ring your partner will adore?
First, try to understand your partner’s style. What kind of jewelry do they usually wear? Is it gold or silver? Vintage or modern? Delicate or statement pieces? Selecting a ring that aligns with their style and preferences is important. Discuss ring styles with your partner, or ask their friends or family if you’re unsure.
Next, decide on a budget. Spend what you feel comfortable with and remember that the sentiment behind the ring is more important than its price tag. Lab grown diamonds offer more affordability than naturally-mined diamonds, letting you get a higher carat and quality diamond for the same price.
Once you’ve decided on a style and budget, familiarize yourself with the Four C’s: Carat, Cut, Clarity, and Color. These measures apply equally to lab grown and mined diamonds. Carat refers to the weight and size of the diamond. Cut signifies the quality of the diamond’s shape and facet configuration, affecting its brilliance. Clarity measures the internal and external flaws or inclusions, and Color rates the presence of any hue in the diamond, with the highest quality being colorless.
Finally, take time to choose the right setting and band that complements your diamond. Consider your partner’s lifestyle - certain settings may be more suitable for those who lead active lifestyles or work with their hands. Use our design studio to create a one-of-a-kind engagement ring for a customized option because the ring should be as unique as the recipient.
Choosing an engagement ring should be a joyous journey. Take your time, do your research, and select a ring that you believe represents your love and commitment.
A lab created diamond engagement ring is a beautiful symbol of love with the same sentimental value as a traditional ring but with a slightly different origin story. While traditional diamonds are formed deep within the Earth over billions of years, lab created diamonds are born from a scientific process in a controlled laboratory setting.
This high-tech process replicates the natural method of diamond formation, delivering diamonds with the same physical, chemical and optical properties as mined ones. We’re talking about real diamonds with the same sparkle, hardness and wow factor!
Choosing a lab created diamond engagement ring is not only a budget-friendly option but also an eco-conscious choice. It sidesteps the environmental impact of mining and conflicts associated with the diamond trade. Plus, you can often afford a larger or higher quality stone for the same price as a smaller, lesser quality mined diamond.
So, whether you’re planning a surprise proposal or shopping together for that dream ring, consider a lab created diamond. It’s a choice that combines love, science, and a nod to the environment.
When it comes to love, we all know it’s priceless. But when it comes to engagement rings, there’s often a price tag attached. If you’re considering a lab created diamond ring for that special someone, you’re probably wondering, “How much is this going to set me back?”
Lab created diamonds typically cost about 40% to 50% less than their Earth-mined counterparts. That means you can get a bigger, more brilliant diamond while staying within your budget. Now that’s a win-win!
The actual price of a lab-created diamond ring varies based on several factors, including the Four C’s - as well as the design and material of the ring band. For instance, at Grown Brilliance, you can snag a lovely 1-carat lab-created diamond ring with a good cut, clarity, and color for less than $2,000.
The most important thing is to choose a ring that fits your budget and feels right for you and your partner.
