This comprehensive guide will lead you through each step of selecting a lab-grown diamond engagement ring, from choosing the perfect diamond shape to finding the ideal setting, ensuring that every aspect of your ring is as unique and beautiful as your love story.

Understanding Lab-Grown Diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds represent a marvel of modern science, seamlessly blending technological innovation with natural beauty. These gems begin their journey in a controlled laboratory environment, mirroring the Earth's process of diamond formation through high pressure and high temperature or chemical vapor deposition methods. This advanced technique results in diamonds that possess the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as their mined counterparts, making them indistinguishable to the naked eye.

By choosing a lab-grown diamond from Park City Jewelers, you're embracing a future where luxury and technology converge, ensuring your engagement ring is not only a symbol of love but also of progress and sustainability. With every facet, these diamonds reflect a commitment to ethical beauty, offering brilliance and clarity that's both awe-inspiring and responsibly sourced.

Step 1: Choosing Your Lab-Grown Diamond

The first step in designing your perfect engagement ring is selecting the right diamond shape. At Park City Jewelers, you can choose from a variety of shapes, including round, cushion, emerald, oval, pear, and marquise, each offering a unique style and level of brilliance. Lab-grown diamonds are graded using the same criteria as mined diamonds: the Four Cs—carat, cut, clarity, and color.

Carat: This measures the weight of the diamond. Larger diamonds are rarer and thus more valuable.
Cut: The cut determines how well the diamond reflects light. A well-cut diamond will sparkle brilliantly.
Clarity: This assesses the presence of internal or external flaws, known as inclusions and blemishes. Higher clarity means fewer imperfections.
Color: Lab-grown diamonds range from colorless to shades of yellow and brown. The less color, the higher the grade.

Choosing a lab-grown diamond offers the benefit of obtaining a larger or higher quality stone for your budget. These diamonds typically cost about 60% less than earth-grown diamonds, allowing you to focus on getting the perfect stone without compromising on size or quality.

Step 2: Selecting the Setting

Once you have chosen your diamond, the next step is to select a setting that complements it. The setting not only holds the diamond securely in place but also enhances its beauty. Park City Jewelers offers a variety of settings, each crafted with precision and care.

Solitaire: A classic and timeless choice, featuring a single diamond.
Halo: Surrounds the center stone with a circle of smaller diamonds, adding extra sparkle.
Three-Stone: Symbolizes the past, present, and future with three diamonds.
Vintage: Features intricate designs and details for a timeless, antique look.
Modern: Sleek and contemporary, perfect for a minimalist aesthetic.

Basic 14K gold settings start at about $850, and you can choose from white, yellow, or rose gold to match your personal style.
