What shapes the price of an engagement ring
| Factor | How it changes the price | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Total carat weight | More weight costs more | Compare total weight and center stone weight separately |
| Center stone quality | Better cut, color and clarity cost more | Cut matters most for sparkle |
| Setting style | Halos, hidden halos and three stone rings add stones and labor | A solitaire is the simplest and often the lowest price |
| Metal | Platinum costs more than 14K gold | White and yellow 14K gold are the most common choices |
| Center stone shape | Some shapes are priced differently | See the shape table below |
For a sense of range, a 1.00 ct lab grown solitaire in 14K white gold starts around $1,125 here, and most of our rings sit between about $1,100 and $3,400. Larger total weights, colored center stones and some bridal sets cost more. On a tight budget? Read our tips for buying a diamond wedding ring on a budget.
Shop by style
Solitaire
One center diamond on a simple band, with nothing competing for attention. It is the classic look and the easiest to match with a wedding band. Browse solitaire rings.
Halo
A ring of smaller diamonds surrounds the center stone, which makes the whole ring look larger and brighter. Browse halo rings.
Hidden halo
Smaller diamonds sit beneath the center stone, so you see extra sparkle from the side while the view from above stays clean. Browse hidden halo rings.
Three stone
A traditional design where the three stones stand for past, present and future. Browse three stone rings.
Bridal sets
An engagement ring and a matching wedding band, made as a pair so they sit flush together. Our lab grown sets are on lab grown bridal sets, and our natural sets are on natural diamond bridal sets.
Which center stone shape suits you?
| Shape | The look | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Round | Classic, with the most brilliance | Hides small flaws well |
| Oval | Elongates the finger | Can show a darker band across the middle called a bow tie |
| Emerald cut | Long, clean lines and a hall of mirrors look | Shows flaws more, so choose a higher clarity. See our emerald cut guide |
| Marquise | Long and pointed, with a lot of surface area | The points need protecting. See our marquise guide |
| Pear | A teardrop that mixes round and marquise | The point needs protecting. See our pear shaped guide |
| Cushion | Soft, rounded corners with a romantic look | Check the setting holds the corners well |
| Radiant | Rectangular like an emerald cut, with the sparkle of a round | Hides small flaws better than an emerald cut |
| Princess | Square and crisp | Corners can chip, so the prongs matter |
Some of our rings use colored center stones, such as yellow, pink or blue lab grown diamonds, or lab grown gemstones such as ruby. Each listing names the exact stone, and our team can explain any name you are unsure about.
What makes a good ring for daily wear
A ring you wear every day needs to feel comfortable after eight hours, not just five minutes in the store. Smooth edges and a well-proportioned band make a real difference. Setting height matters too. A tall cathedral setting can look dramatic in a display case and still catch on fabric during a normal day.
Metal changes how a ring wears. 14K gold balances hardness and warmth, and it suits everyday wear. Platinum is dense and holds prongs securely, and it costs more. White gold is coated with rhodium for its bright finish, and the coating wears over time, so a jeweler can re-plate it. We handle that on our repair services page. Our metals guide, the best metals and gemstones for vintage style bridal ring sets, goes deeper.
For any significant center stone, ask for an independent grading report. Our guide to IGI vs GIA certificates explains how the labs differ. Still choosing the ring itself? Read how to choose a ladies diamond engagement ring.
Matching your engagement ring and wedding band
Not every engagement ring sits naturally against every wedding band. The setting height, the shape of the band and the placement of the stones decide whether two rings sit flush or leave a gap. A set made as a pair is the simplest way to be sure. If you already have an engagement ring, bring it in and we will help you find a band that fits the setting.
If you are deciding between a set and buying separately, read the difference between a bridal set and an engagement ring set. Browse wedding bands to match, and if you are unsure of your size, use our guide on how to find your ring size at home.
Before you buy
Ask any jeweler for the return and exchange terms before you pay. Ours are on the return and exchange policy page. Every listing says that the diamond is lab grown, so you always know what you are looking at.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lab grown engagement ring?
It is an engagement ring set with a diamond grown in a controlled setting instead of mined. It is a real diamond, with the same chemical makeup as a natural one, and it is labeled as lab grown. Lab grown diamonds usually cost less at the same size and quality.
How much does a lab grown engagement ring cost?
Our rings run from about $1,120 to $6,630 in 14K gold. The price depends on total carat weight, the center stone, the setting and any colored stones. Most of our rings sit between about $1,100 and $3,400.
What is the difference between an engagement ring and a wedding ring?
An engagement ring is given at the proposal and usually has a center stone. A wedding ring, or wedding band, is exchanged at the ceremony and is usually simpler. Most couples wear both on the same finger, so the fit between them matters.
What is a halo engagement ring?
A halo ring surrounds the center diamond with a ring of smaller stones. The halo makes the center look larger and adds sparkle around it.
What is a hidden halo ring?
A hidden halo has smaller diamonds beneath the center stone. You see extra sparkle from the side, and the view from above stays clean.
What is a bridal ring set?
A bridal set is an engagement ring and a matching wedding band sold as a designed pair. They are made together, so the band sits flush against the ring.
Can I buy an engagement ring and wedding band together?
Yes. A matched set is the simplest way to be sure they fit together. You can also buy them separately and choose a band that suits the setting. Bring your ring in if you want us to check the fit.
Is a lab grown diamond the same as moissanite?
No. A lab grown diamond is a diamond. Moissanite is a different material that looks similar but is not a diamond. Our moissanite vs diamond comparison covers the differences in look, durability and price.
What metals are your engagement rings made of?
Most are 14K white or yellow gold. We also have a small number of rings in rose gold and platinum. White gold is rhodium plated and may need re-plating over time.
