Two Pillars: Lab-Grown & Natural Diamond Engagement Rings

Engagement Ring Cut Guide

The cut of your diamond determines its character — how it catches light, how it looks on the finger, and the overall aesthetic of the ring. Lab-grown solitaires are available in six major cuts.

Round Brilliant

The most popular cut worldwide. 58 facets engineered for maximum light return and scattered sparkle. Timeless, versatile, and the benchmark for diamond brilliance. Available in lab-grown and natural.

Oval Cut

An elongated brilliant cut that appears larger than its carat weight and visually elongates the finger. Soft, romantic silhouette with brilliance close to round. One of the fastest-growing engagement ring cuts. Lab-grown only.

Cushion Cut

A square or rectangular cut with rounded corners and large facets that produce deep, romantic fire. Timeless choice for vintage-inspired and halo settings. Lab-grown only.

Princess Cut

A square brilliant cut with sharp corners and strong geometric lines. Modern, architectural, and highly brilliant. The second most popular engagement ring cut after round. Lab-grown only.

Radiant Cut

A rectangular or square cut combining the brilliance of round with the shape of emerald. Trimmed corners for durability. Warm, lively sparkle with a bold, contemporary feel. Lab-grown only.

Emerald Cut

A step-cut rectangle with cropped corners producing deep, glassy hall-of-mirrors flashes. Sophisticated, vintage-inspired, and architectural. Clarity matters more with this cut. Lab-grown only.

Cut Shape Light Performance Best For Available In
Round Brilliant Round Maximum scattered sparkle Classic, timeless, versatile Lab-grown & Natural
Oval Elongated oval High brilliance, appears larger Finger elongation, romantic Lab-grown only
Cushion Square/rect, rounded corners Deep, romantic fire Vintage-inspired, halo settings Lab-grown only
Princess Square Strong brilliance, geometric Modern, architectural Lab-grown only
Radiant Rectangle/square Warm, lively brilliance Bold, contemporary Lab-grown only
Emerald Rectangle, step-cut Deep, glassy flashes Sophisticated, vintage Lab-grown only

Carat Weight Guide — How to Choose

Carat weight is the most visible factor in how your engagement ring looks on the finger. Lab-grown diamonds allow you to choose a larger carat weight for the same budget as a smaller natural stone.

Carat Range Look & Feel Best For
0.75–1.00ct Refined, classic elegance Everyday wear, minimalist style
1.50–2.00ct Noticeable brilliance — most popular Everyday luxury, the classic engagement ring size
2.50–3.00ct Bold, commanding presence Statement styling, milestone moments
4.00–5.00ct Maximum impact, exceptional presence Luxury gifting, red-carpet presence

Why 14K Gold?

14K gold is the industry standard for fine jewelry in North America — the ideal balance between purity, durability, and wearability for a ring worn every day for a lifetime.

Karat Gold Purity Durability Best For
10K 41.7% Very hard, but dull colour Budget jewelry, not fine jewelry
14K 58.3% Hard — ideal for daily wear Fine jewelry, engagement rings
18K 75% Softer, scratches more easily Occasional wear, heirloom pieces
22K 91.7% Very soft, not practical Investment bars, not wearable jewelry

All DEEVE engagement rings are crafted in solid 14K gold — never plated, gold-filled, or vermeil.

The 4Cs — What to Prioritize

The 4Cs DEEVE Standard Why It Matters
Cut Excellent / Very Good Cut determines brilliance. Round brilliant maximizes sparkle; emerald cut maximizes elegance; cushion delivers romantic fire.
Color D–G (near-colorless) D–G is ideal for white gold settings. G–H works beautifully in yellow gold. Emerald cut shows color more — prioritize D–F for step cuts.
Clarity VS1–VS2 Eye-clean with no visible inclusions. Especially important for emerald cut where step facets make inclusions more visible.
Carat 0.75ct–5.00ct Choose based on finger size, style, and budget. Lab-grown allows larger carat for the same spend as a smaller natural stone.
