Meghan showed off a new diamond ring again. Because she always hated the engagement ring that Harry gave her - posted on behalf of SwFlorida Link: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/article-15566879/Mystery-Meghans-new-sparkler-Duchess-shows-glittering-diamond-experts-reveal-engagement-ring-upgrade-right-hand.html Archived: https://archive.md/z8TD There’s another explanation for Harry and Meghan’s brief appearance at the NBA (apart from grabbing headlines and showing everyone how loved up they are), and maybe that’s to show off Meghan’s new bling. It’s on the ring finger of her right hand. It’s a massive thing, on a par with the celebrity engagement rings on recent display. Victoria Beckham has about 15 of these stones on her finger on regular rotation. We know that Meghan had modified the engagement ring Harry gave her at least four times because she always hated it. One need only go back to the engagement interview in which she stares intently, unsmilingly, at the jewel on her finger. At one point she even lowers her head to peer at it, as if mimicking the memes of nearsighted characters peering into the distance, as if she’s an astronaut trying to find a street address on the earth below. It’s that tiny, by her estimate. Many nowadays think that’s perfectly all right, you would want to upgrade when times are more prosperous because the ring you were given was what could be afforded. Except in this case, it’s a royal ring, it’s got rare Welsh gold and two of Diana’s diamonds. The significance should outweigh the tonnage; the price automatically rises due to its royal association, just as it did for Diana’s ring which now graces Catherine’s finger. But Meghan is ever the Hollywood wannabe, and it’s trendy to upgrade one’s ring. She hankers for rocks the size of eggs (even if the rock is just lab-grown) and for the micropave ring that Trevor had given her and which she fedexed to him unceremoniously, because this is who she is. Materialistic. (Edited) submitted by /u/RoohsMama to r/SaintMeghanMarkle [link] [comments]

I proposed last week and she said yes. She was seriously glowing when she saw the 6.24 cut ring, kept saying how perfect it looked. Later, while we were talking about the ring, I casually mentioned it was lab grown. The mood shifted a bit. She didn’t freak out or anything, just got quieter and didn’t react much after that. Now I’m replaying it in my head wondering if she expected a natural diamond and was hiding her disappointment. Anyone ever go through this? submitted by /u/Rowlockjenifa to r/WeddingRingAdvice [link] [comments]

My fiancé proposed with this ring he designed himself at the weekend and I'm so in love with it. It's everything I've ever dreamed of especially the pink lab grown heart diamond. It's so so perfect I can't imagine anything else that could ever be as pretty or take its place. Can I just use the engagement ring as a wedding ring too? We will probably just run away and do an elopement anyway. Neither of us fancy a wedding with friends or family and would rather something for just the both of us. Also what way do I wear the heart? Away or facing me? submitted by /u/Petbuu to r/EngagementRings [link] [comments]

I'm in love with the band by itself but I'm afraid they don't look balanced together. I just picked it up today so hopefully I'm just getting used to it. The e-ring is 18k gold with a topaz stone and the band is 10k gold with lab grown diamonds Edit: I listened and am loving it much better! submitted by /u/DoorAndRat to r/EngagementRings [link] [comments]

random convo that came up recently. my senior at masters union is building a lab-grown diamond brand, and i jokingly asked him: “bro, honestly… would people be okay with proposing with this?” his reply was interesting: “it’s literally the same diamond. same chemistry. same sparkle. only difference is your wallet doesn’t cry.” Now im thinking like.. is the resistance about tradition, status, or just habit? if someone proposed to you with a lab-grown diamond, would it matter?

27F here. All of my engaged friends have a huge rock. Something that looks incredibly expensive, while I doubt many of them or their spouse have 5-6 figures of money to drop on a ring. They may have a decent income, yes, but the rings legit look worth more than their annual salary. Most of them also claim that the diamonds are mined which is surprising as I’m pretty sure those are incredibly pricey. My lab grown jewellery has always been much more affordable compared to my mined pieces. It’s really none of my business but I am really curious where this trend is coming from, where they are potentially getting their rings from etc. Maybe it’s just me but I’ve always grown up around my relatives, even the wealthier ones, having rather modest rings with a small diamond or no rings at all. Now it seems that everyone is just casually wearing a 6-10 carat diamond ring to the office. What gives? I’m genuinely curious. submitted by /u/Routine-Crew8651 to r/jewelry [link] [comments]

I know heart diamonds are pretty unpopular but I always loved heart shaped jewelery! I love my e-ring and it's everything I ever wanted 😍 2ct heart cut brilliant lab grown diamond on my extra small finger size 4.

My now-fiancé and I had my engagement ring custom made through a small jewelry business in Grand Rapids, Michigan (4.8 stars with 822 google reviews). The process was great. The woman we worked with was so nice and communicative. I wanted a replica of a 1950s ring I’ve always loved. The design featured a ruby center stone, surrounded by lab grown diamonds, and two opals, all set in 14k gold. The price reflected the materials, and we both knew the opals could be fragile, but our jeweler assured us she’d handle repairs anytime. I got engaged in December 2024, and the jeweler sent a nice follow-up email in January congratulating us and sharing details about where the gems were sourced. She reiterated that I could always reach out for repairs. Fast forward to August 27th this year. One of the opals fell out. I emailed her that day, and she replied on September 3rd saying it would be a quick fix (5-7 days). She sent a return label the next day, and I shipped it immediately. After that, I emailed weekly hoping for any sort of update but heard nothing until October 10th, when the ring suddenly arrived back in the mail. No communication, just a bubble mailer with a crushed ring box inside. The opal had been fixed, but one of the “lab diamonds” had fallen out. With the lack of response, the terrible packaging, and the missing stone, I decided to take the ring to two local jewelers for written assessments. Both told me the “lab-grown diamonds” were actually cubic zirconia- and one said they might even just be glass. The “ruby” is a red sapphire. The opals are lab-grown (which I can live with at this point). I’m not sure if I’m asking for advice or just sharing this as a warning. pls get your jewelry appraised by a third party, especially custom pieces. I didn’t do that, and now I’m stuck trying to figure out what my options are since we paid by debit card over a year ago. TL;DR: Got my engagement ring custom made by a well rated small business. A year later I took it to a couple local jewelers only to find out my custom ring had all cheaper gems than what we agreed on and paid for (ruby was actually a red sapphire, lab diamonds were actually cubic zirconia, and the opals were lab grown). submitted by /u/kjpace97 to r/EngagementRings [link] [comments]

My wedding band isn’t the most practical since it’s an open band but I’m planning on having my rings soldered together to hopefully reinforce the band! I don’t know the exact specs of the wedding band, I just know it’s 14k solid gold and the diamonds are lab grown and colorless. My engagement ring is the Vivian setting from rare carat, 14k gold, 0.8 carat diamond, D color, VVS1 (my last post was actually incorrect!), ideal cut. I thought I’d feel a little blue that I didn’t get to wear my e ring by itself for very long but honestly now i can’t imagine wearing it without my wedding band! 🥰 submitted by /u/jayneedsanap to r/EngagementRings [link] [comments]

I had a door slammed on my engagement ring. Finger is okay but my ring is badly damaged :( can someone told me if this is fixable and how much I should be expecting. It’s a lab grown diamond with platinum band from Spence diamond. Thank you! submitted by /u/Upper_Ad_1875 to r/jewelry [link] [comments]

My roommate and I were casually talking about engagement rings when she said that she doesn’t like lab grown diamonds because they are not real. And when compared to mined diamonds (natural diamonds) the quality is obvious. Obviously, I don’t own a diamond and I don’t spend too much time searching it up so I cannot claim knowledge about it compared to her but…. In my mind, they are basically same. Where one is formed by conditions of environment and the other one is generated in a lab. The conditions aren’t natural but the by-product should be the same right? Would your naked eye actually notice the difference? Or when you use the diamond tester it shows significant difference? I think essentially she was basing her opinion based on the price between the two because mined diamonds are significantly more expensive (obviously bec of hazard required to acquire it) compared to lab grown. Ergo, the former must be better. Please explain it to me so I can probably explain it to her (if need arise) without causing any disagreements. TL;DR: Is mined diamond “real” diamond and lab-grown diamond “fake” diamond. submitted by /u/smokyemer to r/explainlikeimfive [link] [comments]

So I just recently got engaged on Valentines day this year. I was so happy about it and absolutely loved the ring my fiance had custom made for me. For a little back story I was born in October and have always loved opals. In my opinion I think they are more beautiful then diamonds because each one is very unique especially if they aren't lab grown. My fiance knows this and handpicked the most beautiful opal stone for my ring. Then had someone custom make the setting and band for it based on what he thought suited me. Since getting my ring I have made posts about it on social media. After showing it to some of my work colleagues, friends and family members some people made a few comments that just didn't sit right with me. They would say "I wasn't sure about it but seeing it in person makes it look a lot better" or something similar. Now I know some people might not like how untraditional my ring is but I know that even if I didn't personally like someones engagement ring I wouldn't tell them that. I'd just say "it fits their personality" or something like that. Am I wrong for feeling upset? submitted by /u/Icy_Parsley_2092 to r/TwoHotTakes [link] [comments]

I’ve never posted before, but I wanted to share my pink and purple engagement/wedding ring. I’m so delighted by it, it reminds me of a fairy princess ring, like a glittery little bouquet of flowers on my finger. It makes me feel so gooey! :) It’s got a 1 carat lab grown diamond and the setting is filled with pink Yasmin and lavender sapphires and some small diamond accents on a 14K rose gold band. We also got it engraved (although it’s very tiny!) Thank you for looking! submitted by /u/Excellent-Question36 to r/EngagementRings [link] [comments]

Just got engaged! But my mum said that my lab grown isn’t a real diamond My ring costed 5k but my mum told me “why not go to a Vietnamese jewellery store where they sell real ones”, since hers cost 20k. mind you this ring has a certificate too. This makes me feel so horrible since my fiancé saved up to get me my dream ring submitted by /u/minkiimink to r/Diamonds [link] [comments]

So, this is a weird one and I genuinely don’t know if I’m the bad guy here. For context, my (28M) brother (30M) has always been the golden child in my family. He’s got a great job, his life seems perfect, and he’s been dating this amazing woman, Emily (29F), for a few years now. I’ve always liked her—she’s smart, kind, and really down-to-earth. A couple of weeks ago, he proposed to her, and she said yes. Obviously, everyone was over the moon. He made a big deal out of getting her a “one-of-a-kind, designer ring” that supposedly cost more than my car. I was genuinely happy for them, but here’s where things get sticky. At a family dinner last weekend, Emily was showing off her ring to everyone. She was gushing about how my brother spent months finding the perfect ring, how much it cost, and how lucky she was to have such a thoughtful fiancé. All good, right? Except… I know the jeweler my brother went to, because it’s the same place I got my ex’s ring years ago. And here’s the kicker: the jeweler specializes in high-quality lab-grown diamonds. Now, there’s nothing wrong with lab-grown diamonds—heck, I’d even say they’re better for the environment and look just as good—but my brother’s whole story about this “rare, one-of-a-kind ring” was basically a big lie. It’s worth a fraction of what he claimed, and it definitely wasn’t some exclusive, hand-picked treasure. For some reason, it really bugged me that Emily was bragging about something that wasn’t true. She was telling everyone about how expensive and unique it was, and I felt like my brother was manipulating her (and us) into thinking he’s some kind of romantic hero. So, I casually mentioned to her that I was familiar with the jeweler and hinted that the ring was probably lab-grown, not as rare as she thought. Her face fell. She looked totally crushed. I didn’t outright say, “Your ring is fake,” but I think she got the message. My brother was fuming and later pulled me aside, telling me I had no right to ruin his proposal like that. He said I was jealous and petty, and now Emily is apparently questioning the whole engagement because she thinks he lied to her (which… he kinda did?). Now, my whole family is mad at me, and my brother won’t talk to me. I didn’t mean to upset Emily, but I also feel like it’s not cool to lie about something like that. Shouldn’t she know the truth? submitted by /u/carmexlipcare to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

Two weeks ago, I finally and happily proposed to my girlfriend. Months prior, she and I discussed rings. After discussing what she wanted and looking at what I could afford, I settled on purchasing a lab grown diamond from James Allen. I was hesitant that it was IGI certified instead of GIA certified, but its color, clarity, and carat weight were exactly what I wanted, and it looked great. EDIT: I verified she was okay with a lab grown diamond. Fast forward to 2 weeks later. Her cousin works in jewelry and she needed the ring to be resized because her fingers are smaller than what we measured in the past. Her cousin appraised the ring as part of the resizing process and tells her dad the value of the ring, which is 10-20% of what I spent on it, likely because it is lab grown. That lead to her dad being very angry and interrogating me about the details of the ring. I gave him all the details except the price I paid because that is my business. I can't help but be offended that the ring was appraised despite it being part of the process of resizing and that her cousin informed her/her dad of the value. I am also upset that it was appraised for a fraction of the price that I paid because I worked hard to save up for it. Her dad told me that an engagement ring should be seen as an investment, which also offended me because I don't see the ring as something my fiance would ever want to sell due to its sentiment. I feel embarrassed and disappointed in her family for appraising the ring. It's probably now the talk of her extended family at this point, suggesting that I am either a moron getting ripped off or that I am cheap in getting a cut-rate ring. I don't even feel comfortable showing my face to them, and I haven't even formally met them all yet. My question is am I right to feel this way? Should I blame James Allen for ripping me off? Is the appraisal legitimate? What are the thoughts of the community on this situation? submitted by /u/healthyjokes to r/EngagementRings [link] [comments]

Throwaway account. Male 27, TC 450k (self employed), SWE in Arlington VA. My girlfriend (ivy league undergrad/MBA) is obsessed with getting a “real” engagement ring (25k-50k). She knows the reason why she wants one is marketing, but cannot move past that and refuses to consider anything other than a “natural” diamond (nothing lab grown). It’s not a question of if I can afford it, but if buying it is the right thing to do. She says there is a certain connotation of me not spending money on the ring which she would have to live with forever. I’m more than happy to buy her the exact ring she prefers (that’s lab grown) for 1/3rd the price and spend the extra on travel, dining, making memories, anything else, hell if being cheap is the issue I’d give her cold hard cash with the lab grown right too. It’s not a money issue but a values issue. In all fairness, she does not have an interest in expensive things outside of some jewelry. She’s happy with a modest car, modest apartment, etc. but cannot get past the idea of dropping a ton of money on a ring that actually has substantially less value the second it’s purchased. I come from a middle class upbringing, I seldom buy things new, I have a different perspective on money and finance than she does. I don’t run my business this way. I’m struggling to adopt her mindset. Chew me out if I’m being wrong, what’s the best way to approach this? submitted by /u/SeminDemon to r/HENRYfinance [link] [comments]

Throwaway account, for reasons. I (30m) proposed to my (then) girlfriend (27f) of 5 years last month, it was wonderful and she said yes, and we were never happier. Last week was when the trouble started, as she asked me how much I had spent on her ring. I told her that I had spent about $20,000 on it that I had been squirrling away for the last 10 years. (When I first started saving I was planning on building a kit car but when I started seriously considering proposing I decided it was worth spending the money on the ring.) She was initially floored that I had spent so much but later became suspicious that I had managed to get such a large stone (3.6 karats.) for the price, and asked to see the diamond certificate I got with the ring. I, of course, showed it to her (I thought she was worried I had been duped into buying a fake.) and when she saw it was lab grown she got upset that I hadn't bought her a "real" diamond. This reaction stunned me for a couple reasons. Firstly, I had always been open in my distaste for the natural diamond industry, and secondly because I had employed the assistance of her friends and mother and everyone agreed that she wouldn't care if the diamond was lab grown. Over the last week I have explaned to her multiple times my reasons for going lab grown, (It is better for the environment, I know the exact origing of the stone, so I know it isn't a conflict stone, and ultimately it is better value for the money and I wanted to get her the most beautiful ring possible.) and that lab grown diamonds are in every way real diamonds and that they are also indistinguishable from natural ones unless you look at their certificate. I have also pointed out that she had no clue and would have never known if I hadn't told her the price of her ring. But she insists that she can tell a difference and it is just not the same. Yesterday she asked me if I would be willing to exchange it for a natural stone of equivalent value. Normally I would be happy to, but I spent months searching for the perfect ring for her and also, though value was the biggest reason for me, the idea of potentially getting a blood diamond really does sicken me. So I said no, and said if she wanted to give the ring back and end our relationship, that is fine, but I would not exchange it. She called me an asshole and went to stay the night with her parents. Since then I have received multiple texts from her friends telling me to just acquiesce and exchange the ring (and, ultimately, I will if it means saving the relationship) but I just feel like this is something worth being firm on. TLDR: The engagement ring I bought for my fiance contans only lab grown diamonds and she wants to exchange it for one with natural diamonds but I would strongly prefer not to. submitted by /u/throwaway1578650 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

So my girlfriend and I recently got engaged, and I figured it would be nicer to have her pick out her own ring rather then me guessing what she likes. Now I already know my girlfriend loves shiny things, but now she is absolutely adamant that she wants a real diamond ring. Personally I don't like the idea of shelling out so much money for a piece of jewelry with an artificial high price. So instead I offered to buy her one that was lab-grown, as it's way cheaper but also doesn't involve shady business practices and labor. Money isn't an issue, it's really about the ethics for me. I do not like the idea of buying her something that potentially harmed someone in the making of it for our wedding. But she thinks I'm being stingy for not buying her a "real" diamond. We've already gotten in a few arguments over this so now I wanted to ask you guys if I should just suck it up or not. submitted by /u/throwaway111112321 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]
