FAQ

A lab-grown diamond solitaire engagement ring features a single certified lab-grown diamond in a minimal setting of two to six prongs on a plain or lightly detailed gold band. There are no accent stones, no halo, and no surrounding pavé. The solitaire places all value and visual focus on the single certified diamond. Available in oval, round, marquise, pear, princess, and radiant cut shapes, each with IGI or SGL certification and BIS hallmarked gold.
The best solitaire engagement ring shape depends on what the wearer wants. The oval is India’s most popular in 2026 - it appears larger than its carat weight and elongates the finger. The round brilliant delivers maximum light return with no bow-tie and works in any setting. The marquise creates the most dramatic elongated silhouette. The pear is the most romantic and directional. The princess cut is the boldest square shape. The radiant cut offers rectangular proportions with brilliant-cut sparkle.
A wave solitaire engagement ring features a band that flows from a wider, curved profile at the setting to a thinner shank at the finger’s back, creating a flowing organic aesthetic rather than a straight-sided band. The wave setting is particularly popular with pear cut diamonds, where the band’s curved profile echoes the soft, directional form of the teardrop outline. It was confirmed as an active buyer search in the keyword file for pear solitaire engagement rings.
A petite shank solitaire has a band width of 1.0mm–1.4mm, creating a delicate, refined profile where the centre diamond appears dramatically large relative to the band. A wide shank solitaire has a band width of 2.5mm or more, creating a more substantial, architectural presence where the band itself is a visible design element. Petite shanks suit buyers who want maximum diamond visibility; wide shanks suit buyers who want the ring to read as a bold, solid piece.
A 1ct oval lab grown diamond solitaire in 18KT white gold with IGI certification costs approximately ₹1,20,000–2,00,000 in India in 2026. A 1ct round brilliant solitaire costs ₹55,000–90,000. A 1ct marquise or pear solitaire costs ₹65,000–1,00,000. A princess cut 1ct solitaire costs ₹50,000–85,000. Prices vary by cut quality, colour, and clarity grade. Mined diamond equivalents at the same certified quality typically cost 2–3x more.
A 4-prong solitaire holds the diamond with four metal claws, exposing the maximum crown surface to light and leaving the most diamond visible above the band. It is the most popular setting globally. A 6-prong solitaire adds two additional prongs for greater structural security for diamonds above 1ct, at the cost of slightly more metal coverage at the girdle. The 6-prong Tiffany-style solitaire is the most recognisable engagement ring setting in history.
Yes. A lab grown diamond solitaire engagement ring is a genuine diamond ring. Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. They are certified by IGI and SGL using the same 4Cs framework and score 10 on the Mohs hardness scale. The solitaire is set in BIS hallmarked gold. The certification is independent. The difference from a mined diamond solitaire is origin and price - not the diamond itself.
A lab grown diamond solitaire engagement ring features a single certified lab-grown diamond in a four-prong, six-prong, or bezel setting on a plain gold band. There are no accent stones, halos, or surrounding pavé. All visual focus rests on the single IGI or SGL certified diamond, which is chemically identical to a mined diamond. Available in oval, round, marquise, pear, princess, and radiant cut shapes in BIS hallmarked 14KT and 18KT gold.
A wave solitaire engagement ring has a band that tapers from a wider, curved profile at the setting to a thinner shank at the finger’s back, creating a flowing organic aesthetic rather than a straight-sided plain band. The wave solitaire is most popular in the pear cut category, where the band’s flowing lines echo the teardrop diamond’s directional silhouette. It is a buyer-researched design in the lab grown pear solitaire engagement ring category.
Ranked by face-up visual size per carat: marquise (most elongated, largest apparent surface area) → oval and pear (10–15% larger than round per carat) → round brilliant (the benchmark) → radiant and princess cut (slightly smaller per carat). An oval, pear, or marquise solitaire consistently appears larger than a round brilliant solitaire at the same carat weight because the elongated form distributes the stone’s mass across a greater face-up surface area.
VS2 to VS1 is the practical clarity standard for brilliant-cut solitaire engagement rings (oval, round, pear, marquise, princess). These stones are eye-clean at ring-viewing distance. For step-cut or mixed-cut solitaires (radiant cut), VS1 is the recommended minimum, as the facet structure makes inclusions more visible. VVS grades offer no visible improvement at ring distance but add meaningfully to cost - the budget is better allocated to a higher cut or colour grade.
