Natural vs. Lab-Created Diamonds

We carry both natural and lab-created diamonds, so you can pick whichever fits your priorities. Natural diamonds formed underground over billions of years. Every stone is one of a kind, with its own character and story. Lab-created diamonds are grown in a controlled setting using the same conditions that create natural diamonds. Chemically and visually, they're identical to mined stones.

Both types get graded on the same 4Cs scale (Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat), and both sparkle the same way. The decision usually comes down to what matters most to you: the history and rarity of a natural diamond, or the value and traceability of a lab-grown one. Either way, you're getting a real diamond.

• Natural Diamonds: Formed over billions of years, rare, each stone is unique
• Lab-Created Diamonds: Same physical properties, traceable origin, better price point
• Grading: Both graded identically using Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat
• Bottom Line: Pick based on what matters to you, not what anyone else thinks

Band Styles

Eternity bands have diamonds all the way around—maximum sparkle from every angle. Half-eternity has diamonds on the top half only. Full eternity looks stunning but is harder to resize. Half-eternity is more practical and comfortable.

• Eternity: Diamonds all around
• Half: Diamonds on top half
• Eternity harder to resize
• Half more comfortable

Matching Your Set

Depends on your engagement ring's profile. Low-set engagement rings pair with flat bands easily. High settings may need a curved or notched band to sit flush. Bring your engagement ring when shopping, or send us details for recommendations.

• Low settings: Flat bands work
• High settings: May need curved band
• Bring engagement ring to try
• Custom contour available

Diamond Quality

For bands with multiple small diamonds, you can be flexible. G-H color looks great. SI1-SI2 clarity is fine—inclusions are invisible at these sizes. What matters most: all diamonds should match each other in color and quality.

• G-H color excellent value
• SI clarity works well
• Matching is crucial
• Uniform appearance matters

Anniversary Traditions

Traditionally: 5th anniversary for first band, 10th for significant upgrade, 25th and 50th for major milestones. Modern approach: any anniversary worth celebrating. Many couples stack bands over time to mark meaningful moments.

• 5th: First diamond band
• 10th: Significant upgrade
• 25th/50th: Major milestones
• Any celebration works

Wearing Options

Absolutely. Anniversary bands look great alone—many women wear just the band for everyday. Wear on your right hand for a fashion piece. Stack multiples for impact. These are versatile pieces that work many ways.

• Beautiful worn alone
• Right hand works too
• Stack multiple bands
• Very versatile pieces

Eternity Band: Diamonds go all the way around. Maximum sparkle from every angle. Can be harder to resize. Best for those whose ring size is stable.

Half Eternity: Diamonds on the top half only. More comfortable, easier to resize. Still looks stunning from viewing angles.

Three-Quarter Eternity: Diamonds cover 3/4 of the band. Compromise between full eternity and half.

Anniversary/Fashion Band: Varied diamond arrangements. Can feature larger center stones with smaller accents.

Stackable: Thin bands designed to wear multiples. Build your collection over time.

Channel Set: Diamonds sit in a groove between two metal walls. Very secure, smooth profile. Won't snag on fabrics. Classic look.

Pavé: Small diamonds set with tiny beads of metal. Maximum sparkle, delicate appearance. Requires more careful wear.

Prong Set: Individual prongs hold each diamond. More light enters stones for better sparkle. Classic and elegant.

Bezel Set: Each diamond encircled by metal. Very secure and modern. Lower profile.

Bar Set: Metal bars separate each diamond. Contemporary look, secure setting.

Shared Prong/U-Prong: Diamonds share prongs for less metal visible. Maximum light and sparkle.

With multiple small diamonds, you can adjust your quality expectations:

Cut: Still important—all stones should sparkle together. Excellent or Very Good cut.

Color: G-H is excellent. All diamonds should match each other in color.

Clarity: SI1-SI2 works well. At smaller sizes, inclusions are invisible.

Carat: Total carat weight (TCW) matters more than individual stone size. Common ranges:
- 0.25-0.50 TCW: Delicate, subtle
- 0.50-1.00 TCW: Noticeable sparkle
- 1.00-2.00 TCW: Substantial presence
- 2.00+ TCW: Statement piece

Key: Matching is crucial. All diamonds should look uniform in color and quality.

Matching considerations:
- Metal should match or intentionally contrast
- Profile should sit flush with engagement ring
- Consider curved or notched bands for rings with protruding settings

Stacking options:
- Wear anniversary band alone for simple days
- Stack below engagement ring
- Wear on right hand as standalone piece
- Stack multiple anniversary bands over time

Height matching:
- Check that bands sit evenly next to each other
- Some engagement ring settings require low-profile bands
- Curved or shadow bands are designed to fit around center stones

Thin (1.5-2mm):
- Delicate and feminine
- Great for stacking multiple bands
- Allows engagement ring to remain the focus

Medium (2-3mm):
- Classic balance
- Works well alone or with wedding set
- Most popular choice

Wide (3.5mm+):
- Substantial presence
- Can be worn as statement piece
- May overpower delicate engagement rings

Consider your engagement ring: The anniversary band should complement, not compete. Generally, the band should be equal to or thinner than the engagement ring band.

Traditional milestones:
- 5th Anniversary: First diamond upgrade or band
- 10th Anniversary: Substantial diamond band
- 25th Anniversary (Silver): Major milestone celebration
- 50th Anniversary (Gold): Often upgraded or added eternity band

Modern approach:
- Any anniversary worth celebrating deserves recognition
- Stack bands for each major milestone
- Upgrade or add to collection as life permits

Practical timing:
- Choose when your ring size is stable
- Consider career/lifestyle changes
- Full eternity bands are harder to resize later
