What is a 1 Carat Lab Diamond? 

Carat is the term that is most commonly used to refer to the total weight of the diamond. To simply explain, 1 carat is equal to 200 miligrams, so if you want a diamond to weigh around 1 gram then you would have to get a 5 carat diamond. Most of the time, people think that the diamond's size is the same as its carat weight. But that is not the case! Sometimes the shape of the diamond may look bigger than other shapes with the same carat weight. For example, a 1 carat marquise diamond would look bigger than a 1 carat round diamond.

How to Select 1 Carat Diamond? 

When you select a diamond for your engagement ring or any other jewellery piece all you have to do is check the 4 C’s of the diamond. The 4 C’s of the diamond are like the golden rule book, which you can follow when you want to select a diamond for your jewellery. The 4 C’s are: cut, colour, clarity and carat. The cut gives a diamond a brilliant sparkle because of the light that reflects properly off each facet within the diamond and impacts the overall light performance. The colors range from D to Z, with the range between D and F being colorless and a popular jewellery choice. However, the clarity of the diamond helps you know about the inclusions and blemishes that are present inside the diamond, and the carat like we said, helps you know the overall weight of the diamond.

1 Carat Lab Diamond Price

When you search for a 1 carat diamond price for a mined diamond, we are sure the price range that pops up on your screen would be somewhere around ₹2 lakhs. However, a 1 carat lab grown diamond price starts in the range of ₹40,000. Now, for most buyers, the price range between mined diamonds and lab diamonds is something that leaves them confused about the authenticity of lab diamonds. So let us tell you that lab grown diamonds are as real as mined diamonds. The price difference is because these are produced in controlled environments with no visible difference seen by the naked eye. 

In a recent study, it was found that Indian youth are more inclined toward lab diamonds than their mined counterparts because of the impact that these ethical dazzlers leave on the environment. 

Engagement Ring Styles for 1 Carat Diamond

The setting of your diamond holds your central diamond securely in place, which influences the aesthetic of your lab diamond engagement ring. The most popular lab diamond ring styles are the classic solitaire, the extravagant halo, the three stone, side stone ring styles, and the evergreen vintage-inspired ring style. 

The first ring style is the classic solitaire ring style. This ring features a central diamond held in prong setting. The simplicity of this ring style is something that attracts the customers to it. For a ring style like this, you can go with our Seraphina Twist Prongs Solitaire Diamond Ring. The twisted prongs of this ring are what set it apart from other solitaire rings.

If you are someone who likes their rings to be extra sparkly, then going with halo, three stone, or side stone rings might be the right pick for you. In these ring styles, there are additional diamonds adorning the ring with some extra sparkle. In the halo style, there are smaller accent stones set in a pave setting, which becomes the highlighting feature of the ring. For a ring like this, you can go with our Micaela Halo Diamond Ring.

However, in a three stone ring, just like the name suggests, there are three stones, one in the center and the other two on either side of the center stone. This ring style is often known to represent past, present and future of the couple. If you want a three stone lab diamond ring, you can go with our Bethany Three Stone Side Oval Diamond Ring.
