Lab created diamonds are becoming an increasingly popular choice when it comes to engagement rings. Not only are they sought after for their beauty, but they also make for a responsible choice given that no mining is required. They’re often more affordable than natural mined diamonds of comparable size.
Lab diamonds are man-made diamonds that consist of actual carbon atoms arranged in the characteristic diamond crystal structure. We often get asked, “do lab diamonds look different than natural diamonds?” To answer that question, lab grown diamonds have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. This means that lab diamond engagement rings will look visually identical to rings set with mined diamonds — even experts will not be able to distinguish between a lab diamond ring and natural diamond ring using only the naked eye.
Below are our most popular ring settings for lab created diamond engagement rings:

My fave is the Waverly. GORGEOUS!
I prefer the Odessa, then the Willow n the last would be the Waverly. I feel that if you’ve found that special one of all time, then you should splurge and let her know just how Precious she is to you. They’re all very beautiful. I actually prefer a wider band, because they’re more comfortable and you can actually tell you’re wearing a ring. ItIt’s also better to wear a wider band if you have problems w/ your hands swelling alot.
Beautiful rings I’m still looking send me a on my email so I can see more
