The Difference
Where the markup goes.
Same certified diamond. The price gap isn't your ring — it's everything a retail store has to charge you for first.
A Retail Jeweler
You're paying for:
- —Showroom rent & display cases
- —Sales commissions on every ring
- —Middlemen marking up each stone
- —Inflated markup, built into the tag
Lavora
Your money goes to:
- ✓The diamond itself, sourced direct
- ✓The craftsmanship of your setting
- ✓Solid 14K or 18K gold, nothing plated
- ✓An IGI certificate in every box
None of the overhead. All of the ring. Typically 30–50% less.
Why I Built Lavora
You're not buying from a store. You're texting Ryan.
I started Lavora because people were getting quoted thousands more than they needed to pay for the same certified diamonds.
Lavora exists to make the process simple: better sourcing, transparent pricing, CAD approval, and a custom ring that actually feels like her.
