Round Cut Lab Grown Diamonds

Round lab diamonds are a type of lab-created diamond that has been engineered to have the same chemical and physical properties as natural diamonds. They are produced in a laboratory using advanced technology that simulates the high pressure and temperature conditions that occur deep within the earth's mantle, where natural diamonds are formed.

Round lab diamonds, as the name suggests, are round in shape and are often used in engagement rings and other jewelry as an alternative to natural diamonds. They are prized for their beauty, durability, and affordability, as they typically cost less than natural diamonds of comparable size and quality.

Round lab diamonds are also a more environmentally friendly and ethical option, as they do not require mining or contribute to the negative environmental and social impacts associated with the diamond industry. They are becoming increasingly popular among consumers who value sustainability and ethical sourcing in their purchasing decisions.

What is a round-cut diamond?

In Western tradition, the round-cut diamond in the center of the ring is declared to be the most popular on the market. Sometimes, for engagement rings, a 2-carat round diamond is used as a solitaire. But the latest fashion trends have also made other ring shapes trendy. They are halo rings, three-stone rings with loose round diamonds, or pave rings. But there is one common feature that unites all types of engagement rings. In their design, round-cut diamonds are used.

Round diamonds are classy, as they are the most charming and luxurious in their sparkling beauty. As the round-shaped diamond has become essentially the standard in the cutting industry, over 90% of the diamonds on the market have this shape. The round cut differs from all other shapes in part due to its conventional decoration of facets and proportions, method of assessing processing excellence, and greater price. On the other hand, the famous Antwerp-based diamond cutter Gabi Tolkowski, who has cut many diamonds during his life, believes that it is more correct to call the round shape fancy.

Round shaped diamonds set the standard for other shapes and account for over 75% of all diamonds sold to date. This 57 (58)-faced rounded loose lab crated diamond shape consists of a crown (upper part), girdle (widest part), and pavilion (bottom). To achieve maximum play in a round diamond, it is necessary to strictly maintain certain proportions.

Why Are Round Diamonds More Expensive?

The standard for lab-grown round cut diamonds is the most sophisticated in terms of optical properties, i.e., sparkle and scintillation, so fancy cuts usually cost less than round cuts. This is also because when cutting fancy shapes, flattened or elongated diamonds are used, and the yield is greater than when making round cut diamonds from the same crystal.

Round shaped diamonds of all cuts are the most popular, perhaps due to their strong sparkle and greater return of white light to the viewer than other cuts. When creating a round cut, the yield from a diamond is significantly lower than in the case of other cuts. This, along with the high popularity of round lab grown diamonds, are two main reasons for the relatively high cost of these stones. Also, lab-created round diamonds or mined diamonds have all the same 4Cs (cut, color, clarity, and carat).

Round Lab Grown Diamond Compared to Other Lab Diamond Cuts

If we compare diamonds of different cuts, then it is the round cut that provides the most pronounced sparkle and brighter play of light. Therefore, the same lab grown princess cut loses out to the lab-grown round cut in terms of visual effect. And if we talk about elongated stones with a pear or marquis cut, they can exhibit the optical effect of a bow tie in the form of darkening in the central part of the stone, oriented across the elongation. This effect is considered undesirable in trading and leads to a decrease in the value of the stone. Let's not forget about how diamonds of the same weight in different cuts look. For example, a 2-carat lab grown princess will visually look smaller than a 2-carat round lab grown diamond.

If we compare round and oval cut diamonds, then the first clearly wins in all respects. It provides a richer shine and a more pronounced play of light. But oval diamonds will cost a little less. In addition, a round cut is possible even for the smallest stones, while an oval is a cut for large diamonds.

Choose an oval diamond if you want:

• Visually lengthen the hands.
• To buy jewelry with a large stone inexpensively.

Choose a round diamond if:

• You would like to buy a product using the fashionable pave or halo technique.
• A bright play of light is important to you.

Round lab grown diamonds are on top. They are multi-functional and look great both in small sizes and with a large number of carats. Their sparkle attracts attention immediately, and they have more status than other cuts or shapes.

Round Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Rings

A lab grown round solitaire diamond is always a great idea for engagement rings. It looks fabulous being set in the center of the ring. Even small diamonds in such a design look expensive and solid.

If you want to get more gems in one piece of jewelry, you can choose a ring with three loose round diamonds or even a ring with a combo of two cuts. It means there can be two round diamonds and one lab-grown princess-cut diamond in the center. A combination like this will cost less than one with three round diamonds of similar size, but it also looks great.

The latest trends in jewelry are nothing without halo and pave rings. The first one has one central gem surrounded by smaller diamonds. As usual, for the central gem, elongated cuts are used, and the halo is made of round diamonds. But even the round halo design is splendid, as it looks more sophisticated and delicate.

As for pave rings, here round-shaped diamonds are obligatory as they are easier to inlay on the golden ring. Due to the high cost of round diamonds, a round pave ring will be a status symbol.
