Carat Weight

0.5 carat diamonds are great for diamond earrings and can also be used to enhance your engagement ring.

Shape

Cushion cut diamonds are one of the best-selling diamond shapes at Ritani. Often, customers who want to maximize sparkle will choose a higher quality cut, in lieu of a larger carat size.

If you would like to make your cushion cut diamond appear larger, try putting it in a halo setting. The tiny diamonds surrounding your cushion cut will give the illusion of a larger stone as well as add extra sparkle. Or let your cushion cut diamond stand out with a sophisticated solitaire setting.

If you would like a classic square shaped cushion cut diamond, choose a diamond with a length to width ratio of 1.00 to 1.05. An elongated cushion cut diamond will have a length to width ratio of 1.06 to 1.10.

Cushion cut diamonds are a great choice for custom jewelry, such as stud earrings and solitaire pendants.

Ring Style

Derived from vintage rings, halo engagement rings are one of the most popular setting styles at Ritani. One of the most famous halo engagement rings of all time is Kate Middleton's engagement ring, a blue oval-shaped sapphire with a diamond halo. Currently, oval halo engagement rings are trending. Halo engagement ring settings are a great way to add more sparkle to your emerald-cut or Asscher-cut diamond. These diamond shapes don't sparkle much, so a diamond halo will add extra radiance. For extra sparkle, choose a double halo engagement ring.

Lab Grown Diamonds

Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds that are created in the lab instead of deep inside the earth's crust. They are physically, chemically, and visually identical to earth grown diamonds and are indistinguishable even by a trained gemologist.

The only difference between lab grown diamonds and earth grown diamonds is how they were created. Earth grown diamonds are created under high pressure and temperature deep under the earth's surface, while lab grown diamonds are created under high pressure and temperature(HPHT) in a lab

Lab grown diamonds are typically between 30 and 50 percent cheaper than earth grown diamonds! Therefore they have become a very popular choice for engagement ring, since you can get a bigger size diamond for your budget.

All Ritani lab grown diamonds are certified. Most of our lab grown diamonds are certified by IGI, the most respected independent lab diamond grading labaratory.
