How to choose a diamond ring

Whether you’re buying a diamond ring for yourself or a loved one, there are several factors you need to consider:

  • 1. The price: it's always wise to set a budget before you start shopping.
  • 2. Natural or lab grown diamonds: both share the same chemical and physical properties, but lab diamonds are ethically sourced and more cost-effective.
  • 3. The style of the ring: we offer a wide range of diamond rings, from the classic solitaire style to the extravagant cocktail ring.
  • 4. The cut of the diamond: we offer an impressive variety of shapes and sizes, including marquise, oval, emerald and princess cut diamond rings.
  • 5. The metal of the band: our diamond rings are available in platinum, white gold, yellow gold and rose gold.

What is a diamond carat?

A carat is a unit of measurement used to describe the weight of diamonds. (Not to be confused with karat, which measures the purity of gold.) One diamond carat is 200 milligrams - so the bigger the carat, the heavier the diamond. Most diamond rings include diamonds ranging from 0.25ct to 1.00ct, but there is no real limitation on carat size.

To learn more about diamond carat, clarity cut, and colour, read our Diamond Buying Guide!

What are lab diamonds?

A lab grown diamond is a diamond that is created in a controlled environment like a laboratory or factory. Lab diamonds share the exact same chemical and physical properties as natural diamonds, but they are quicker to produce, sustainably sourced, and around 20% cheaper.

At Shining Diamonds, we offer a premium selection of lab grown jewellery, including lab diamond rings. Shop the collection now, or read more about our lab grown diamonds.

How can you tell if a diamond is real?

There are several ways you can check if a diamond is real. You can drop it in a glass of water to see if it sinks. You can check for scratches - real diamonds are incredibly durable and do not develop scratches. Or, you can have your diamond inspected by one of our diamond experts at our Hatton Garden and Brighton stores.

Read our guide, How you can tell if a diamond is real, for more information.

How do you guess someone’s ring size

Whether you're buying an engagement ring, a wedding ring or a gift for someone special, it's important you know their ring size before you start shopping.

If it's a surprise, you could ask their family or friends to find out their ring size for you. Or, you could borrow one of their rings and bring it in-store for reference. Alternatively, if the recipient knows you're shopping for a diamond ring, you can buy our ring sizer for just £1 and measure their finger at home,
