What about 6, 8 and 10 carat lab diamonds?

A 6 carat lab-grown diamond engagement ring is estimated at $5,825–$6,450 complete for an E/VVS2 solitaire in solid 14K gold, based on our current 6ct stone rate. Price per carat climbs faster above 5ct, so 7ct, 8ct and 10ct centers are quoted on request from current stone lists, on your exact shape, color and clarity, then shown to you as a 3D render before production.

Which specs should you choose at 5 carats?

• Color. D–F color, VVS clarity is available as an upgrade. At this size a near-colorless G often looks the same face-up for less.
• Shape. Oval, elongated cushion, radiant and marquise spread across the finger and read larger than a round of the same weight.
• Setting. A low basket or hidden halo keeps a 5ct stone secure and wearable every day.
• Certificate. Every lab-grown center comes with an IGI report you can look up yourself at igi.org.

What big rings has Lavora built?

• A toi et moi with two 3.5ct lab-grown diamonds, a hidden halo and a pavé band: over 8 carats total.
• Several 5ct lab-grown center-stone engagement rings.
• A 4.02ct E/VVS2 oval solitaire in 14K yellow gold for $3,349 complete (IGI LG799653539).
