Choosing lab grown green diamond engagement rings

Assess the green centre

Look at the selected diamond in more than one view to assess the green tone and its distribution. A clean solitaire exposes the outline, while a halo or accent band changes the composition. Compare actual dimensions, not just the impression created by a collection photograph.

Check the colour disclosure

Read the issuer, date and comments on the report for the selected laboratory-grown diamond. Colour may arise during growth or from later treatment, so ask about the information available for that stone. Do not infer rarity or mined provenance from a coloured lab diamond’s appearance.

Compare the finished design

Keep the centre specification, metal and mounting comparable when reviewing current prices. Read the centre dimensions and any accent weights separately, then look at the basket and wedding-band clearance before ordering.

Designs to compare

A question worth asking

How does a green diamond differ from an emerald?

The materials are different. This collection features lab grown diamond; the emerald collection features green beryl and has different appearance and care considerations.
