Whether you’re planning to propose to your special someone or just want to treat them with a memorable present, Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to embrace your romantic side. And what better way to do that than by gifting them a sparkling diamond?
Fortunately, with the rise of lab-grown diamonds, the range of more affordable—but still stunning—diamond jewelry options has expanded. These gorgeous gems are manufactured in a lab rather than mined from the earth, so there are a lot of positive benefits. "Lab-grown diamonds are a great option if you're looking to maximize carat weight and quality," says gemologist Kayla Ratner.
Many times these stones can be purchased for a fraction of the price of mined diamonds. Ratner adds that lab-grown diamonds are chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds, so you're getting a great value along with fewer environmental and ethical issues.
Meet the Expert
Kayla Ratner is a GIA-certified gemologist at Aether Diamonds, a brand that specializes in lab-grown diamonds which are created with 100% atmospheric carbon.
What’s more, some of our favorite fine jewelry brands are hosting additional discounts and site wide sales to celebrate Valentine’s Day. In other words, the time to shop for lab-created diamonds is now. While searching for jewelry pieces, Ratner recommends prioritizing the best cut grades so that light is optimized within the diamond and is returning as much brilliance and sparkle to your eye as possible. She also says to keep the four Cs in mind—carat, cut, clarity, and color—when shopping for lab-grown diamonds.
So, are you ready to find the perfect sparkling piece for your person? Read on for the best lab-grown diamond jewelry sales to shop this Valentine’s Day.
