Lab Diamond Promise Rings

What is a Promise Ring?

You may be wondering, what exactly is a promise ring? A promise ring serves many of the same functions as an engagement ring— it symbolizes love, commitment, and exclusivity. However, promise rings don’t symbolize marriage, which makes them a perfect choice for couples who want to have a wearable token of their dedication without getting married. They represent devotion, whether or not an engagement may be in the future, and they are a great way to express love.

In our honest opinion, promise rings are significant in their meaning, and not too much in their look. However, that's always a nice bonus! From our experience, we've seen many natural diamond promise rings fulfilling the promise ring demand. But did you know there's a cheaper alternative, lab diamond promise rings?

How to Wear a Promise Ring

Which finger you choose to wear your promise ring on is a personal choice. Many people wear their promise ring on the ring finger of the left hand, which is the traditional spot for a wedding ring and is well-known as a symbol of love and commitment.

For those who get married down the line, the promise ring is usually moved to the ring finger of the right hand. However, some people choose to wear their promise ring on a different finger, to help differentiate it from an engagement ring.

Promise Ring Cost & Tips

If you are considering purchasing a promise ring, your budget may be on your mind. Luckily, there are many ways to get an affordable promise ring. First and foremost, you should trust your diamond supplier, whether it be online or in-store. However, know that offline diamond jeweler inventory can be cheaper than in-store. This is due to inventory holding costs, overheads, and physical location(s) costs. If you are unsure about purchasing a diamond online, check their reviews, and request for a diamond grading certificate with your purchase.

Cheap promise rings can still be stunning, especially if you consider purchasing a lab diamond promise ring. Did you know, lab diamonds are about 40% cheaper than natural diamonds? Lab made diamonds are cost-effective because they require less costly resources, and tend to have a shorter supply chain versus natural diamonds. Moreover, lab grown diamonds have the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics as mined diamonds. That means lab diamonds will still deliver a stunning women’s diamond promise ring.

Selecting cheap diamond ring tips: carat, off-size diamonds, diamond color

Three other keys to selecting a cheap diamond ring include selecting a ring with less than 1 carat of diamonds, choosing off-size diamonds, and opting for a diamond that’s lower on the color grading scale. Don’t worry, choosing diamonds with a color grade of G, H, I, or J will still look white to the naked eye, but will be much less expensive than a diamond with a D, E, or F grade.

Lab Diamond Color Scale: D, E, F (colorless); G, H, I, J (near colorless); K and L (faint yellow)
