A halo setting amplifies a lab-grown diamond's already impressive value proposition. The halo frame makes the centre stone appear 20–30% larger, and combined with lab-grown pricing, you can achieve a truly spectacular ring.

The Asscher cut is a square step-cut diamond with deeply cropped corners that create an almost octagonal outline. Its concentric square facets draw the eye deep into the stone, producing a mesmerising windmill pattern. Invented in 1902 by the Asscher Brothers, it remains one of the most distinctive and collectible diamond shapes.

Under £2,000, you can find a 1ct lab-grown diamond engagement ring in your choice of metal and setting style. This price point represents the most popular budget for lab-grown diamond engagement rings — genuine luxury without compromise.

Lab-grown halo rings create maximum visual impact at the most accessible price point.
