We can put an heirloom diamond in one of our settings at no additional cost, however, you will need to mail us your diamond so it can be reset in our White Plains factory. We may request that you sign a waiver for this service.

Minimum total carat weight refers to the lowest combined weight of all of the diamonds in a piece of jewelry.

A poorly cut diamond center stone can make a ring look less attractive. Cut is the most important factor for your diamond as it influences the level of sparkle. Choose a Very Good or Ideal cut grade for your diamond.

It really depends on your personal preferences, however, a 3-carat diamond will be a beautiful and eye-catching choice for your engagement ring. Take advantage of Free In-Store Preview to see your desired 3-carat diamond at a location near you.

You should spend whatever feels right for you! You can still get a gorgeous engagement ring with a $2,000 budget. Contact our customer service team for help choosing the right diamond and setting for your budget.

Engravings can be added to the girdle of the diamond using lasers. You can learn more about diamond engraving here.

Each Ritani diamond is 100% real and is graded by an independent agency. Your diamond will come with a grading certificate, as well as a free appraisal.

Any natural Ritani diamond purchased directly on Ritani.com after October 11, 2012 is eligible for an upgrade, as long as it is certified by the GIA or AGSL. You can upgrade to a diamond that is at least 3.5x greater in value than your original diamond. We will exchange your diamond for credit equal to 100% of its original value. To start the diamond upgrade process, contact customer service at 1-888-9RITANI or email [email protected] 

Lab-grown diamonds cannot be upgraded.

Cubic Zirconia is the most common fake diamond. Moissanite is a very convincing diamond simulant.

Simulated diamonds such as cubic zirconia are produced to be an affordable alternative to diamonds so they are not worth much.

Moissanite is not a diamond; it is made of silicon carbide while diamonds are made solely of carbon. Moissanite will easily pass for a diamond.

A 1.5-carat diamond is slightly larger than the average engagement ring center stone and will make a lovely choice for your ring.

The average diamond engagement ring center stone ranges from 0.75-1 carat, so a 2-carat diamond is certainly above average and will be noticeably large.

There are many other factors that go into a diamond’s pricing, such as cut, color, and clarity, so it is difficult to say how large of a diamond you can get with that budget. For example, there are 1-carat diamonds that cost $10,000, but there are also 2-carat diamonds that cost $10,000. If you choose a lab-grown diamond, you can get an even larger diamond with a $10,000 budget. Again, it depends on the diamond's quality, but you can get a 3 to 4-carat lab-grown diamond for $10,000.

Marquise-cut diamonds look the biggest since they have the largest surface area. Other fancy shapes such as the oval-cut diamond and pear-cut diamond also have large surface areas, making them appear larger than stones of the same carat weight.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to earth-grown diamonds. A lab-grown diamond will test as a diamond using a diamond detector. We test each of our lab-grown diamonds with a diamond tester before shipping it to our customers. Each of our lab-grown diamonds comes with a grading certificate from a respected third-party agency (excluding preset lab diamond jewelry). 

People often assume that lab grown diamonds are more “perfect” than earth grown diamonds. Lab grown diamonds can still have inclusions, just like earth grown diamonds. When choosing between a lab grown diamond or an earth grown diamond, it’s really all about preference. Some people love that lab grown diamonds can be up to 30% less expensive, while others love that natural diamonds are produced by Mother Nature.

Since lab grown diamonds are chemically the same as earth grown diamonds, you cannot tell them apart, even with a loupe.

At this time, we do not offer upgrades on lab grown diamonds.

No, lab-grown diamonds are NOT the same thing as moissanite. Moissanite is made of silicon carbide with a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale. Lab-grown diamonds are made of carbon (just like earth-grown diamonds!) and have a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale.

Only engagement rings and wedding rings are covered by the manufacturing warranty. Jewelry is not covered.

The manufacturing warranty covers all manufacturing defects - it does not cover wear and tear. Manufacturing defects are determined upon inspection at Ritani and NOT a Ritani authorized dealer and/or retailer. Ritani will provide a prepaid shipping label to have the item sent in for inspection. Ritani will review manufacturing defects and to their discretion advise if they can repair them, if not they will replace the item at no cost to the consumer.

• If Ritani confirms manufacturer defects, Ritani will cover the cost for return shipment. 
• If damage is determined to not be a manufacturing defect, Ritani will notify the customer and inform them of any repair services needed and cost at that time. No work will be done without the customer's consent at this point. Shipping both ways will be added to the fee. Priority overnight shipping is $35 one way for a US shipment. For customers outside the US, shipping costs are specific to the value of the product and destination, duties and taxes may apply. 
•  Diamond coverage: if rings are received with any cracked or chipped diamonds the customer must notify Ritani immediately to put in the claim. If they do not, they will not be covered.

• Discoloration due to exposure to chemicals, makeup, swimming pools, hot tubs & bathing. 
  
• Prongs & precious metals wear over time and require restoration work as a part of normal wear and tear. 
• Bent, worn out and prongs that have been caught in fabrics and pulled that have allowed a stone to fall out or become lost are due to normal wear and tear. 
• Lost stones or stones that have fallen out, been chipped or have broken that are caused by normal wear and tear. 

The warranty is automatically voided if maintenance, repair, sizing and/or other services are performed by someone other than Ritani and/or a Ritani approved location. Approval needs to be granted by our customer service team and an appointment for in-store repair will be made by one of our customer service representatives.
