A lab-grown solitaire is the purest expression of modern engagement ring design — timeless simplicity with intelligent value. The solitaire setting puts all focus on the diamond, and lab-grown savings let you choose a larger, higher-quality centre stone.

The marquise cut features a distinctive elongated shape with pointed ends, offering the largest face-up area of any diamond shape for its carat weight. Its boat-like silhouette creates a dramatic, regal presence on the finger and makes the stone appear significantly larger than other shapes of the same weight.

The £1,000–£1,500 range opens up a wonderful selection of lab-grown diamond engagement rings with larger centre stones and more setting options. This is one of the most popular budget ranges for couples choosing lab-grown diamonds.

Lab-grown solitaires let you invest in a premium centre stone rather than an elaborate setting.
