Diamond Rings

The price of a diamond ring depends on the diamond’s carat weight, cut, colour and clarity, the type of gold and the complexity of the design. A quality gold ring with a smaller diamond can cost up to 1 000 Eur, while engagement rings with larger diamonds often cost from around 1 400 to 2 500 Eur. Exclusive designs with a higher total diamond weight can cost more than 4 000 Eur.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. Their chemical composition, crystal structure, physical properties and brilliance are the same as those of diamonds formed in nature.

Both types of diamond are made of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice. They score 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, so they are equally durable for everyday wear. Their quality is also graded by carat weight, colour, clarity and cut.

The main difference is their origin. Natural diamonds form deep within the Earth over billions of years, while lab-grown diamonds are grown under controlled conditions in a few weeks. Lab-grown diamonds usually cost less, but their resale value is generally lower. They should not be confused with cubic zirconia or moissanite, as these are stones with a different chemical composition.

The best place to buy a ring is a specialist jewellery store that clearly provides information about the metal, diamond weight and quality, and offers certificates and a warranty. It is also important to consider the choice of ring sizes, exchange and returns conditions, secure delivery and the option of professional advice.

Buying online makes it easy to compare rings from different collections, in different gold colours, sizes and prices. Insured and discreet delivery, a two-year warranty, certificates confirming quality, free returns or exchange within 60 days and the option to collect your order in store give you extra peace of mind.

You can buy a ring at any time of year, but if you are looking for a better price, it is worth keeping an eye on seasonal promotions. Major sales often take place in November, before Christmas, and after the festive period in January and February.

August to October is a good time for a more relaxed choice and more in-depth advice, before the busy winter engagement season begins. March, April and May are also often a good time to choose or design a bespoke ring without rushing.

We recommend ordering a ready-made ring at least one or two months before an important date, so there is enough time for resizing and delivery. For a bespoke ring, it is best to start your search three or four months in advance.

Two rings are traditionally associated with marriage: the engagement ring and the wedding ring. The engagement ring is given at the proposal and symbolises the promise to marry. It usually features a more prominent centre diamond or other gemstone and a more ornate design.

Wedding rings are exchanged by the couple during the marriage ceremony. They symbolise mutual commitment and a shared life. A wedding ring is usually a simple gold band, but it may be decorated with small diamonds or engraving.

Both rings are usually worn on the ring finger of the left hand. The wedding ring is normally worn closer to the palm, with the engagement ring placed above it.
