Why Choose a Lab-Grown Diamond Ring This Christmas
A Christmas proposal is filled with warmth, lights, joy — a perfect backdrop for asking “Will you marry me?”. With lab-grown diamonds, you get the same brilliance and quality as mined diamonds, but often at a better price and with ethical sourcing. (New World Diamonds)
Because lab-grown diamonds are more affordable, you can often afford a larger carat, better cut or higher clarity — making the engagement ring sparkle even brighter under festive lights.

How to Choose the Perfect Ring: Shape, Setting & Budget
1. Diamond Shape & Cut
-
Round cut diamonds remain the most popular — maximum sparkle and brilliance, especially under Christmas lights. Many rings like Addison or Brooklyn use round diamonds. (New World Diamonds)
-
Emerald cut, like in “Helen”, offers a sleek, sophisticated look — great for a couple who appreciates understated elegance over dazzle. (New World Diamonds)
-
For something symbolic and romantic, consider rings like “Alyssa” with simpler carat but meaningful design. (New World Diamonds)
2. Setting & Style
-
Classic/ solitaire settings — minimalist and timeless, they let the diamond shine. “Crown Solitaire”, “Brooklyn”, and “Addison” are great examples.
-
Customizable settings — if you choose a setting-only option (like “Crown Solitaire”) and separately pick a diamond, you can tailor the ring to your partner’s style (e.g. cut, carat, metal). (New World Diamonds)
-
Vintage or decorative settings — rings with mil-grain, etched bands or unique shank designs give a special character, ideal if you want a ring that feels unique and personal. “Addison” falls in this category. (New World Diamonds)
3. Budget & Value with Lab-Grown Diamonds
With lab-grown diamonds, you often get better value for money. You could opt for 1 ct+ rings (like “Addison”, “Brooklyn”, “Helen”) with good clarity and color at much more affordable pricing compared to mined diamonds. (New World Diamonds)
Because lab-grown diamonds are ethically sourced, you get peace of mind along with sparkle — a meaningful choice for a Christmas proposal that fits modern values. (New World Diamonds)
