Best Lab-Grown Rings for Every Personality
Everyone has a different personality, so why shouldn’t their engagement ring match? With lab-grown diamond engagement rings, the possibilities are endless!
Simple and Classic Personality
As Coco Chanel once said, “simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.” The most classic engagement ring design will always be a simple, round diamond ring on a solitaire band. Ergo, the best lab-grown engagement ring options for someone with a more simple, quiet, and classic personality would be a round diamond and/or a solitaire band.
Solitaire Lab-Grown Engagement Rings
Solitaire engagement rings have and always will be synonymous with the word classic: a solid metal band without any extra bling guarantees that the center stone will be the main focus of your engagement ring.
The best center stone options for a solitaire engagement ring are those that offer the most brilliance: radiant, round, oval, and cushion cuts are all excellent options!

Round Lab-Grown Engagement Rings
Round cut diamonds are arguably the most traditional shape featuring a perfectly symmetrical, circular stone. Triangular facets in the round diamond gemstone contribute to the immense sparkle, or brilliance, of this diamond shape, hence the nickname “brilliant cut.”
With such a simple and classic shape, a round lab-grown diamond engagement ring would be the perfect option for someone who wants something simple and refined. Solitaire, pave, halo, three-stone four-prong, or 6-prong, round diamond engagement rings are stunning any way you set them.

Trendy Personality
Trends come and go, but Lauren B is here to stay. If you’re the type of person who is always on top of the latest trends, pay attention!
Make no mistake, engagement ring trends change just as often as other trends, but we think these styles are guaranteed to last.
Oval Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Rings
The most popular diamond shape over the last two years has been the oval. More specifically, the most popular engagement ring style of 2021 and 2022, thus far, has been an oval cut yellow gold solitaire engagement ring.

Nonetheless, oval engagement rings are still number one when it comes to popularity–regardless of the setting. Following a yellow gold solitaire band, the second most popular setting is a platinum or white gold pave band.

Radiant Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Rings
The second most popular diamond shape since 2021 has been the radiant cut. With 70 intricate facets, the radiant cut is considered one of the most brilliant diamond shapes.
Radiant cuts come in both square and rectangular shapes with parallel sides and cut corners. Radiants were also the first rectangular diamonds to feature brilliant faceting.

Alternatively, you can choose to have one diamond and one color gemstone, two color gemstones, or one fancy color diamond and one colorless diamond–the opportunities for customization are endless!

Vintage-Inspired
Vintage is just another term to describe something that was once popular in the past. In other words, vintage-inspired engagement rings are just trends from another time.
The term “vintage-inspired lab-grown engagement ring” is almost an oxymoron as it’s combining old styles with new technology. With this in mind, if you prefer more vintage styles, antique cuts are the perfect option!
Antique Cushion Cut Lab-Grown Engagement Rings
Rising in popularity at Lauren B is the demand for antique cut lab-grown diamonds. Most popular is the antique cushion cut diamond engagement ring.

Antique cushion cuts are quite rare as they are much harder to cut than modified brilliant cushion cut diamonds. Additionally, this cut requires the manufacturer to cut more of the rough diamond than with any other shape.
Antique cushion cuts originated in the 1700s, during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Before round brilliant diamonds took over as the most prized cut, antique cushion cuts took top prize as the most widespread and sought-after diamond shape. Antique cushion cuts are also referred to as Old Mine Cut, Candlelight Cut, and/or Pillow Cut.

Other Antique Lab-Grown Diamond Shapes
Another antique shape rising in popularity is the Old Euro Cut–a round diamond shape made popular between 1890-1930.
Just recently introduced, we also have the incredibly rare Duchess Cut. The Duchess cut is an antique Marquise cut that is characterized by its straight cut sides and more hexagonal shape.
Elegant and Sophisticated Personality
Elegance is shown in how a person carries themselves. With charm and poise comes elegance. Sophistication and class are the key elements of elegance. Emerald cut and three-stone engagement rings give off the same air of sophistication and elegance.
Emerald Cut Lab-Grown Engagement Rings
The most classic rectangular-shaped diamond, emerald cut diamonds are step-cuts meaning their faceting is parallel. This type of faceting creates their renowned “hall of mirrors” effect.

Three-Row Pavé Band Engagement Rings
Why have one row of pave on your engagement ring band when you can have three? Our three-row band diamond rings offer exactly what it sounds like—three rows of diamonds on the band. This style is popular among those who want to make a statement, or those looking for something big and bold.

Halo Lab-Grown Engagement Rings
Halo engagement rings are a popular choice since they can give the appearance of a larger center diamond with extra sparkle! In fact, adding a halo to your engagement ring can make your center stone look an entire carat size larger. Additionally, the extra row of diamonds provides protection to the center stone for an added safety benefit.
