Why Lab-Grown Diamonds Are the Smarter Choice
So you’re ring shopping. Exciting, right? But also, overwhelming at the same.
You want something stunning. Something meaningful. Something that doesn’t require taking out a loan. And honestly in today’s world, you probably want to feel good about where your diamond comes from too.
Unveil the secret ingredient – lab-grown diamonds. And before you think “wait, are those even real?” – let us stop you right there. They absolutely are. Same sparkle, same brilliance, just made differently. And…that difference? It actually works in your favour.
More and more couples are choosing lab-grown diamond engagement rings today, not only because they’re relatively more affordable, but also because they reflect modern values such as transparency, sustainability, and conscious luxury. Aesthetically, they also allow you to pick out unique diamond shapes, colours, and carat sizes, spoiling you for choice and value for money at the same time. Here’s the proof you never asked for:
For those still in two minds about lab-grown diamonds, here’s why you might want to consider one too.
1. They’re Real Diamonds (Really)
I know, I know. The name “lab-grown” makes it sound… synthetic? Fake?
But here’s the thing: lab-grown diamonds have the exact same chemical makeup as mined diamonds. Same carbon structure. Same sparkle. Same everything. Jewellers grade them the same way. They’re certified by the same organizations (IGI, GIA, etc.).
Put a lab-grown diamond next to a mined one, and literally no one can tell the difference. Not your friends, not your jeweller, not even under a microscope. The only way to know is with specialised lab equipment, or well, if it is inscribed on the diamond itself.
Do you think anyone can tell that you’re wearing a lab-grown diamond?
Here’s what our Founder, Mr. Mehul Jain has to say:
So, when someone asks if your ring has a “real diamond,” the answer is yes. Because it is.

2. You Get Way More Diamond for Your Money
Let’s be honest – traditional diamond prices can be shocking. You start looking at rings, fall in love with something gorgeous, check the price tag, and…yeah, more often than not, you place it right back on the counter shelf and that’s the end of the story.
With lab-grown diamonds, things change. Suddenly, that upgrade from a half-carat cluster to a full one-carat ring doesn’t feel impossible. That beautiful solitaire with amazing clarity is now actually much within reach.
You’re getting the option of:
- A bigger stone
- Better colour and clarity
- Unique diamond cuts and rare colours
And you’re doing it without blowing your entire budget on one piece of jewellery. Something that matters to most urban, working young professionals who have a wedding to plan, a life to build, and honeymoon experiences to curate.
3. Design the Ring You Actually Want
One of the best parts? You get to be selective, particular, and picky with your design.
Want a classic solitaire? Go for it. Obsessed with halo settings and extra sparkle? Done. Dreaming of a bridal set that stacks perfectly? Totally doable. Want a non-conventional diamond shaped like a butterfly? A half moon? A kite shape? Absolutely achievable.
Your engagement ring is supposed to tell your story. And honestly? At the end of the day, choosing a lab-grown diamond is practical. It’s not about settling. It’s about being smart with your money.
Whether you go with a stunning one-carat solitaire, a dazzling halo ring, a two stone ring depicting you two, a three stone version, or a full bridal set (like Vinamra and Karan did), lab-grown diamonds give you everything you’re looking for. The sparkle, the meaning, the confidence that you made a choice you can stand behind.
And that’s what makes them the smarter choice…
Here’s what Vinamra had to say about us:
“I was introduced to Everbrite Jewellery by a close friend, and when my partner and I decided to get married, it truly felt like fate. I had a very specific vision for my engagement ring and wedding band, and Everbrite Jewellery brought it to life with so much care.
The CAD design process was especially meaningful — seeing the rings in 3D from different angles helped me imagine them on my hands, and they didn’t start crafting until I felt completely sure. Because the diamond was lab-made, I was also able to choose a bigger, more beautiful stone within my budget, which made me so happy.
When I finally saw the finished rings, they were even more perfect than I imagined. Everbrite Jewellery stayed in touch through every step, and I felt truly supported the whole way. I’m so grateful to the team for creating pieces that mean so much to me.”
