Choosing an engagement ring can be one of the most difficult decisions to make
and it’s hard to establish where to start, especially if you’re considering an ethical
engagement ring. For many the main question you ask yourself may be “which
ring will my partner say yes to?” and for others it will be asking “what ring do I
want on my finger for the rest of my life?”. Either way the decision is an important
one and that’s why we have Lily Arkwright here, to help outline the steps to
choosing the perfect lab diamond engagement ring.

There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing what style, size and
setting is right for you, this is entirely a personal choice but we do have some
excellent tips to follow!
Picking the right stone choice
If you’re reading this article, chances are you’re most likely considering or are
open to the idea of a lab grown engagement ring. You need to decide which
gemstone route you’ll take for your engagement ring stone. There are a plethora
of options to choose from, with lab created diamonds being your closest
alternative to mined diamond, as lab diamonds are 100% REAL diamonds. In fact
they are physically and chemically the same as mined diamonds, and you cannot
distinguish any differences to the naked eye as they emit the same beautiful
sparkle.
Oh and did we mention lab diamonds are around 30% more affordable than their
mined counterparts, meaning you can splurge on other aspects of your special
day!
Many people are definitely set on having a white stone as their engagement ring
and we completely understand why as this is the most classic option. Moissanite
is another fantastic option for engagement rings as it resembles a diamond but is
a fraction of the price of mined diamonds! The natural moissanite gemstone,
which is composed of silicon carbide, is extremely rare and this is why almost all
moissanite is grown in controlled laboratory conditions. Moissanite is a unique
gemstone that has been super popular and loved by many in recent years and all
for the right reasons!
If you are looking for something truly unique and are a lover of all things colour,
then look no further than a lab grown gemstone ring. Did you know that almost
any gemstone can be grown in a lab? An appealing aspect of lab gemstones
means that the ring can be available in a variety of cuts that are almost
impossible to find in mined gemstones. Lily Arkwright are proud partners with
Chatham, the world leaders in lab grown gemstones. These coloured gemstones
are also super sustainable as the production process ensures all gemstones are
ethically produced and all gemstones are extremely ring in colour and cut,
providing that very special vibrance and liveliness seen in the most premium
gemstones.
Choosing the right metal
With many different karat golds available, and the ever-tempting platinum bands,
it can be really hard to know which is best for your engagement ring. Gold rings
come in a variety of different finishes such as the classic white gold (resembling
that silver colour), a regal yellow gold and a flirty rose gold. Platinum rings have a
different feel to gold rings, which tend to be more traditional. The silver colour can
almost be described as white, as it’s amazingly light in colour due to the platinum
being a pure metal.
It’s entirely a personal choice when it comes to choosing the perfect metal but it
is usually best to opt for the jewellery metal choice your partner usually wears.
