La Joya Lab Created Diamond Engagement Rings
Where Your Budget Buys Bigger

Yes, lab grown diamond engagement rings feature 100% real diamonds. They share the identical chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. The only difference is their origin—one is grown in a controlled lab environment, while the other is mined from the earth. Both are graded by the same certification standards. 

Lab grown diamond engagement rings are typically 30-40% more affordable than natural diamond rings of the same quality. By skipping the expensive mining process and shortening the supply chain, lab created stones offer significantly better value, allowing you to upgrade to a larger carat weight or higher clarity stone for the same budget. 

No, a high-quality lab grown diamond will never get cloudy or fade. Unlike simulants such as cubic zirconia, lab diamonds rank 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness. This makes them durable enough for everyday wear, ensuring your engagement ring maintains its brilliance forever without scratching or dulling. 

Absolutely. La Joya specializes in custom engagement rings tailored to your exact vision. Whether you want to modify an existing setting or create a unique design from scratch, our artisans can bring it to life. We can customize center stone shapes, hidden details, and metal types to create a one-of-a-kind ring. 

Elongated shapes like Oval, Pear, and Marquise cuts look the largest in an engagement ring for their carat weight. Because these shapes have a larger surface area relative to their weight compared to a Round Brilliant cut, they maximize visual impact. These shapes also create a flattering, lengthening effect on the finger. 

The main difference between a 14K and 18k gold besides purity is durability. 18k gold engagement rings contain 75% pure gold, offering a richer, warmer color but a softer composition. 14k gold engagement rings contain 58.3% pure gold, making them more durable and resistant to scratching. Because engagement rings are worn daily, many couples prefer 14k gold for its resilience 

To find your partner ring size secretly, borrow a ring your partner already wears on their ring finger and trace the inner circle on paper. You can also ask a close friend or family member for help. For the most accuracy, download the La Joya printable ring size guide to measure at home.
