Carat Weight

1.25 carat diamonds are very popular for engagement rings. They provide a good balance between size and price

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

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.
