Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds — the only difference is origin. Natural diamonds are formed over billions of years and are genuinely rare. Lab grown diamonds cost 50–70% less, making larger carat weights far more accessible. Natural diamonds carry geological provenance and a long-established resale market.

Yes. Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds — not simulants like cubic zirconia or moissanite. They share the same chemical composition (pure carbon), hardness (10 Mohs), and optical properties as mined diamonds. The only difference is their origin.

Neither is objectively better — it depends on your priorities. Lab grown is best for maximum carat weight per budget, ethical sourcing, and IGI-certified brilliance. Natural is best for rarity, geological heritage, and long-term resale value. See our full guide: Lab-Grown vs Natural Diamond Engagement Rings — What Every Bride Should Know.

IGI (International Gemological Institute) independently grades each diamond for cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. An IGI certificate gives you full transparency on the stone’s quality — verifiable at igi.org. All DEEVE lab grown diamond engagement rings include an IGI certificate.

DEEVE offers round brilliant, oval, cushion, princess, and radiant cuts in both lab grown and natural diamonds. Round brilliant is the most popular for maximum brilliance. Oval is trending for its elongating effect. Cushion suits vintage-inspired styles. Princess and radiant deliver bold, geometric sparkle.

Solitaire, pavé, halo, split shank, and cathedral settings — in both lab grown and natural diamonds. Solitaire is the most classic and timeless. Halo maximizes visual presence. Pavé adds side-stone sparkle. Split shank adds architectural elegance.

Oval and marquise cuts appear largest relative to carat weight due to their elongated shape. Round brilliant and cushion cuts appear slightly smaller face-up for the same carat weight but deliver superior brilliance. A halo setting also significantly increases perceived size.

For everyday wear, 1.00ct to 2.00ct is the most popular range — noticeable without being overstated. For a bold statement, 2.00ct to 5.00ct lab grown options deliver significant presence at a fraction of the cost of equivalent natural diamonds. See our Ring Size Guide for visual reference.

Lab grown diamonds cost 50–70% less than equivalent natural diamonds. In practice, the budget for a 1.00ct natural diamond typically buys a 2.00ct+ lab grown diamond of equal or better cut, color, and clarity. See the full cost breakdown: Average Engagement Ring Cost in Canada 2026.

All DEEVE engagement rings are available in solid 14K yellow gold, 14K white gold, and 14K rose gold. Never plated, filled, or vermeil. All are hypoallergenic and built for daily wear.

14K white gold maximizes diamond brilliance with a cool, bright rhodium finish — the most popular choice for round brilliant and oval cuts. 14K yellow gold adds warm, classic elegance that complements all skin tones. 14K rose gold offers a romantic, modern aesthetic. All are solid 14K — the choice is purely aesthetic.

Natural diamonds have a long-established resale market and historically hold value better than lab grown diamonds, particularly in higher carat weights with strong grading certificates. Lab grown diamonds are best viewed as a luxury purchase rather than an investment — resale values have declined as production has scaled.

The average engagement ring budget in Canada ranges from $3,000 to $8,000. Lab grown diamonds allow significantly more carat weight for the same budget. See the full breakdown: Average Engagement Ring Cost in Canada 2026.
