FAQ

A lab grown round diamond ring features a certified lab-grown diamond in the round brilliant cut - a circular shape with 58 facets mathematically optimised for maximum light return. Lab grown round diamonds are chemically and physically identical to mined diamonds, certified by IGI or SGL, and set in BIS hallmarked gold. The round brilliant is the most popular diamond shape globally, accounting for more than 70% of all diamond ring sales.
The round brilliant cut is more expensive per carat than fancy shapes (oval, pear, marquise, emerald) because the cutting process removes more rough diamond material to achieve the circular outline. A round brilliant retains approximately 40–45% of the rough stone; an oval or pear retains 50–55%. This cutting waste is priced into the stone. In lab grown diamonds, the cutting premium remains - but the far larger mining premium is eliminated, bringing the 1ct round brilliant solitaire in India to ₹55,000–92,000 in 2026 versus ₹1,80,000–3,00,000+ in mined diamonds.
No. The bow-tie effect - a dark shadow across the centre of elongated diamond shapes - is caused by the way light passes through the long axis of oval, pear, and marquise cuts. The round brilliant’s circular symmetry means light enters and exits from all directions equally, with no directional axis that creates a shadow. A well-cut round brilliant performs consistently from every viewing angle under every light source, with no dark zones. This is one of the primary reasons the round brilliant is the global default engagement ring shape.
A 1ct IGI-certified lab grown round diamond ring with VS1 clarity, E–F colour, and Excellent cut in 18KT white gold costs approximately ₹55,000–92,000 in India in 2026. The equivalent specification in a mined diamond typically costs ₹1,80,000–3,00,000+. A 0.70ct round brilliant in 14KT gold costs approximately ₹40,000–65,000. A 2ct certified round brilliant ring ranges from ₹1,40,000–2,30,000.
Cut grade is the most critical factor for a round brilliant diamond - more important than colour or clarity. A round brilliant is purchased specifically for its light performance. An Excellent or Very Good cut grade (as verified by IGI or SGL) ensures the 58-facet arrangement is optimised for maximum light return. A Good or Fair cut grade, even with high colour and clarity grades, will appear significantly less brilliant. At Lucira, every round brilliant is selected for Excellent or Very Good cut as a minimum standard.
A four-prong setting holds the round brilliant with four metal claws, exposing the maximum crown surface area to light and leaving the most diamond visible above the band. It is the most popular solitaire setting for round brilliants. A six-prong setting adds two additional prongs, providing greater structural security for larger stones (typically 1.5ct+) at the cost of slightly less visible diamond area. The choice between four and six prongs depends on carat weight and daily-wear requirements.
The round brilliant delivers more light return than any other diamond shape and works in any setting, at any carat weight, in any metal. It has no bow-tie effect, no orientation requirement, and no corner vulnerability. It is the global engagement ring default for all of these reasons. However, ‘best’ depends on the wearer: buyers who want a larger-appearing stone choose the oval; buyers who want a square geometric shape choose the princess; buyers who want architectural sophistication choose the emerald cut.

A lab grown round diamond ring features a certified lab-grown diamond in the round brilliant cut - a circular shape with 58 facets mathematically calibrated for maximum light return. Round brilliant lab grown diamonds are certified by IGI or SGL, set in BIS hallmarked gold, and chemically identical to mined diamonds. The round brilliant accounts for more than 70% of all diamond ring sales globally and delivers more light return than any other diamond shape.
No. The bow-tie effect only occurs in elongated diamond shapes (oval, pear, marquise), where the shape’s long axis creates a dark shadow across the centre. The round brilliant’s circular symmetry means light enters from all directions equally, with no directional axis. A well-cut round brilliant at Excellent or Very Good IGI cut grade performs consistently from every viewing angle with no dark zones, making it the shape with the most predictable light performance.

Lab grown round brilliants are priced higher per carat than fancy shapes but significantly lower than mined equivalents of identical certified quality
Block 4 - Why is round brilliant the most popular diamond shape? The round brilliant cut has 58 facets mathematically optimised in 1919 by Marcel Tolkowsky for maximum light return. It delivers more brilliance than any other diamond shape, has no bow-tie effect, requires no special setting considerations, and works in every ring design. Its circular symmetry means it performs consistently in all lighting conditions. These properties have made the round brilliant the global default engagement ring shape for over a century, accounting for 70%+ of diamond ring sales worldwide.
