Carat Weight

2.5 carat diamonds are bigger than the average engagement ring diamond and are sure to make a statement and impress your significant other. The large size of your diamond will be very noticeable and make it stand out among the others

Shape

The emerald diamond shape has a large, open table and rectangular step-cut facets, reminiscent of its green gemstone namesake. Emerald cut diamonds are growing in popularity for engagement rings and make a great choice for earrings and diamond necklaces.

As an engagement ring, the emerald cut diamond can create the illusion of elongating your finger. The emerald cut diamond is an incredibly sophisticated choice that evokes Art Deco glamor.

If you’re looking for a sparkly diamond, an emerald cut diamond may not be right for you - the large facets of this shape means that clarity tends to be its defining feature, as opposed to the sparkle of a brilliant cut. However, they do produce flashes of light that create a hall of mirrors effect.

If you are purchasing an emerald cut diamond engagement ring but want to add more sparkle, choose a classic diamond band or a halo setting.

When purchasing an emerald cut diamond, choose a clarity grade of at least VS1. Emerald cut diamonds can be square or rectangular. A length to width ratio of 1.00 – 1.03 is excellent for a square emerald, while a 1.40 – 1.50 is best for a rectangle.

Ring Style

Solitaire engagement rings are the most popular setting style at Ritani. A benefit to solitaire engagement rings is that they are lower maintenance - rings with diamonds in the band can sometimes fall out. They also tend to be less expensive than other setting styles since they feature a plain band. Additionally, solitaire engagement rings are easy to pair with any wedding ring. Round solitaire engagement rings are a classic choice. Oval solitaire engagement rings are growing in popularity and offer a distinctive look. Looking for a rose gold solitaire engagement ring or a yellow gold solitaire engagement ring? Save some money by going down lower on the diamond's color scale. The warm hues of these metals will complement the diamond well.

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.
