Side Stone Engagement Rings

Choosing the perfect engagement ring is a personal journey that reflects your unique love story. First, decide on your partner's style. What type of jewelry do they normally wear? Is it more of classic elegance or modern designs? Think about their preferred metal and whether they lean toward delicate or bold jewelry. If you're not sure, ask friends or family for help, or even discuss their tastes openly.

Next, focus on the diamond’s shape, size, and the setting that best highlights its beauty. The Four C’s—Carat, Cut, Clarity, and Color—are key factors to consider when choosing your diamond. At Lucenjuri, we have a wide range of lab-grown diamonds that are both stunning and sustainable, allowing you to choose the perfect stone for your budget.

Finally, make the ring truly unique by designing a custom piece with Lucenjuri's Artisan Studio. Our skilled artisans will help you create a one-of-a-kind ring, ensuring every detail—from the band style to the diamond shape and setting—is perfectly tailored to your love story. We’re here to guide you every step of the way in crafting a timeless symbol of commitment.

A lab grown diamond engagement ring has a diamond that is grown under controlled conditions and not mined from the Earth. Lab grown diamonds display the very same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. However, they represent a more environmentally friendly and socially responsible alternative to natural diamonds. By choosing lab grown diamonds, you're not only getting exceptional beauty but also actively working to make the world a little greener.

Lab-grown diamonds possess all the beauty and brilliance of natural diamonds, added with advantages of being more environmentally friendly and more affordable. They are created in a laboratory using the same processes that take place under the Earth's surface but without the environmental impact. Lab diamonds are also accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from trusted certifying bodies like GIA or IGI, ensuring quality and transparency. Choosing a lab-grown diamond means you can have the luxury and brilliance you desire, with peace of mind knowing you’ve made a responsible choice.

An engagement ring is much more than just one more piece of jewelry; it's a timeless symbol of love, commitment, and promise toward a shared future. The engagement ring has become this enduring tradition, signifying that particular moment when two people come to a decision on spending the rest of their lives together. Whether it is the first chapter to your love story or a stunning reminder of all that you have built up together, your engagement ring will always carry with it the meaning of your unique journey.

The setting is that part of the engagement ring into which the diamond or diamonds are placed. It makes up most of the ring's general appearance and how the diamond will look. There are different settings that allow unique brilliance and can be designed to appeal to your personal style, whether you want something traditional, modern, or entirely one-of-a-kind.

With so many gorgeous ring settings, each one yields a different appearance. Some of the most popular options include:

• Solitaire: Single diamond showcasing simplicity and elegance.
• Halo: Center stone surrounded by smaller diamonds to add sparkle.
• Three-Stone: Representing the past, present, and future with three stones.
• Vintage or Antique: Exhibiting intricate detailing and timeless charm.
• Pavé: Ring band set with small diamonds, offering continuous sparkle.
• Bezel: Sleek, modern setting that encircles the diamond with a metal rim.

Each setting type can be customized to reflect your personality and preferences.

Solitaire is the most popular engagement ring setting. It is considered a classic choice where one diamond alone is the centerpiece, making the stone highlighted without anything to distract from it. If you love an added sparkle, you might want to pick a halo setting, where smaller diamonds surround the main center diamond for added brilliance.

Aesthetics and durability are the two key issues to consider when it comes to selecting the right metal for your engagement ring setting. Popular metals include:

Platinum: Very durable and hypoallergic, it’s sleek and white in color. White Gold: Similar to platinum, it’s a more economical alternative that has also gained great appeal. Yellow Gold: Timeless and warm, and perfect for a classic look. Rose Gold: Adds a romantic touch with its unique pinkish hue.

Each metal has its own charm, so choose one that complements your style and matches your lifestyle.

Absolutely! At Lucenjuri, we believe every love story deserves a personalized touch. Whether you already have a design in your head or would like to work with us to design a custom piece, we’ll bring your vision to life. From the choosing of the diamond all the way to the selecting of the setting, band, and engraving, each component can be tailored in order to express your individual love.

Staying within budget doesn’t mean compromising on quality. With lab grown diamonds, you get more beauty for your budget. Prioritize what is most important to you, whether that is the size of the diamond, the setting type, or the type of metal of the band, and remain open to other options. We have many beautiful, affordable options, which allows you to just find the right ring for your vision and budget.

A more traditional rule of thumb is the "three-month rule," in which you allegedly spend three months' salary on the engagement ring. But of course, this is only a guideline, we believe that your ring should reflect your personal financial situation and values. It's more about choosing a ring that feels meaningful to you and fits within your budget. Lab-grown diamonds are a great way to get a bigger, higher-quality stone without breaking the bank.

Yes! Many people choose to wear both rings together after the wedding. Your engagement ring is often worn on the ring finger of your left hand, with the wedding ring placed next to it. If preferred, you can wear them on different fingers or switch between hands according to preference and comfort.

That usually remains a matter of personal preference and the type of style you're going for. A thicker band creates a bold look and may be better suited for larger diamonds. A thinner band offers a more delicate and minimalist look, which can work beautifully with smaller diamonds or for those who prefer subtle elegance. Both these options can equally be beautiful, so choose one that feels right for you.

You can have your ring size measured by a jeweler, or you can use a ring sizer while you're at home. If you intend to purchase the ring as a surprise, borrow one of your partner's rings (from the correct finger) and bringing it to the jeweler. Ring sizes can also vary slightly depending on the type of band, so a little room for comfort is recommended.

At Lucenjuri, we make it easy for you by providing helpful tips on how to measure your ring size at home, along with a printable ring sizer. This ensures you can get an accurate measurement, even if you're shopping from the comfort of your home. Whether you're buying for yourself or as a gift, we’ve got you covered!

Engravings are a beautiful way to personalize your ring with a special message. Some popular ideas include:

• Initials or a meaningful date, such as a proposal date.
• A favorite quote or phrase that holds meaning.
• Coordinates of where you met or your favorite place.
• A simple, loving message like "Forever Yours" or "Love Always."

The possibilities are endless—make it as personal as your love story.
