What size radiant diamond looks best in an engagement ring?
At one carat a lab radiant measures about 6.5 by 5 mm, close to what the designs here are shown with. Going from one carat to two carats in lab grown adds $1,076 at the medians, and plenty of buyers take that step instead of adding a halo. Exact millimeter measurements are listed on each product page, and the video shows the stone against a ring size reference.
What setting is best for a radiant diamond?
A radiant's cropped corners need no V prongs, so four plain prongs on those corners, or a bezel, hold it securely. A simple solitaire keeps the attention on the faceting. Since a lab radiant costs little even at size, buyers tend to put the money into the stone and leave the setting simple. Resizing is free during the first year on any design you pick.
What color and clarity should a lab grown radiant center stone be?
D to F color with VS1 or better clarity is the sensible choice, because top grades add almost nothing in lab grown. At VS2 or better clarity, a D stone in the one carat band starts at $400. Holding color at D to F, VS1 starts at $385. Put what you save on grade into weight instead.
Is a natural radiant ring cheaper?
No, a natural radiant costs more. At one carat the natural radiant median is $2,398 against $597 lab grown. A G color VS1 natural starts at $1,505 where the lab stone starts at $405. What the natural stone offers is rarity, and what the lab stone offers is weight and grade. For the natural version of these designs, see the radiant natural diamond engagement rings page.
Can the ring be resized, and what does the warranty cover?
Each radiant lab grown diamond engagement ring we make from this page comes with a free resize in the first year. The setting itself carries a lifetime manufacturing warranty. Before the stone goes into the mount, our New York staff go over it with a microscope and check the laser inscription against the number on its report. After that it ships insured at no charge, and you have 30 days to return it free if it is not what you wanted.
Can I finance a radiant lab grown diamond engagement ring?
Yes, through Affirm, Klarna and Afterpay, as well as PayPal Pay Later and Katapult; each plan shows its full schedule before you agree to it. A complete ring built on a one carat lab radiant at the $597 median can be spread into monthly payments. Paying over time changes none of the rest: free first year resizing, the lifetime manufacturing warranty, free insured shipping and free 30 day returns all stay as they are.
