Frequently Asked Questions About Engagement Rings
A lab-grown diamond engagement ring is an engagement ring that features a man-made, laboratory-created diamond instead of a mined diamond. The only difference between the two diamonds is the point of origin. Because a lab-grown diamond did not have to be mined, the engagement ring is free from human and environmental toll.
A VRAI created lab-grown diamond engagement ring goes even farther, however. We convert greenhouse gas into sustainably created diamonds in a zero-emission, hydropowered foundry.
The best way to find your ring size is to have it professionally measured by a diamond expert. However, there are also ways of measuring it on your own.
Measure a current ringChoose a ring that correctly fits the finger you are purchasing the ring for. Lay the ring over each of the sizes on a ring size chart until you are able to find a match. The inside of the ring should match as closely as possible to the circle on the guide
Print your sizerPrint and then cut out a ring sizer. Wrap the ring sizer snuggly around the widest part of the intended finger so that the numbers are visible to you, then insert the pointed end through the slit you made in the sizer. Make note of the number that lines up with the slit — this is your ring size.
Order a ring sizerVRAI’s complimentary ring sizers can be ordered and shipped to your home.
Many choose to wear an engagement ring on their left ring finger. Once married, both partners wear their wedding band on this finger as well. How you wear your engagement ring is a personal choice, however, so choose what is right for you.
Traditionally, if an engagement ring and wedding ring are worn together on the same finger, the wedding ring goes on first. The most important rule is to wear them in a way that is most beautiful and most comfortable to you.
The best thing to do to prepare for wearing your engagement ring and wedding ring together is to measure the finger(s) where you’ll wear the rings. You should also try on the rings together, especially if they are stacked, to make sure they fit comfortably side by side.

It was once believed that an engagement ring should cost the equivalent of two months’ salary. But your budget is personal to you and your partner.
VRAI offers settings at a variety of prices, depending on metal and band details. Starting with diamonds at 0.50 carats, there are center stones available for each and every budget.
Rings with pavé bands, halo settings, or three stone settings will naturally be at a higher price point because of their multiple diamonds. Diamonds of greater carat weight, and higher quality of cut, clarity, and color are also more valuable and higher in price.
We are vertically integrated — we create the diamonds that we use in our designs. Our diamonds have no middlemen markups. Therefore, the price of your VRAI created diamond is often lower than that of mined diamonds.
Traditionally, an engagement ring features a diamond or series of diamonds attached to the top of a band with a prong or bezel setting. The diamonds are the main feature on display.
A wedding ring is usually a band with no setting attached. It usually lies flat against the finger and can be made entirely out of platinum or solid gold, or feature diamond accents.
Go to our Custom Engagement Ring page to begin the process. You will book an initial consultation with our diamond experts to discuss your style options. Then your original inspiration will be translated into a VRAI design. Once you set your budget, we will assist you in selecting and purchasing your VRAI created diamond(s) so that the creation process can begin. You are provided with a computer-animated design (CAD) for your customized piece.
The most important thing to remember about the 4Cs — cut, color, clarity, and carat weight — is that one rule does not apply to all diamonds. Select your diamond shape and engagement ring setting first to know which of the 4Cs to prioritize.
CutA high quality diamond cut is important as it will affect how light enters and exits a diamond. We encourage customers to select an Excellent cut for all diamond engagement ring shapes, or Ideal and Ideal + Hearts for Rounds, for maximum shine.
ColorDiamond color is graded on the absence of color. Colorless diamonds are ideal for those wanting a platinum or white gold engagement ring setting that will not imbue the diamond with additional color. For yellow or rose gold settings, Near Colorless diamonds are a wonderful choice.
ClarityClarity measures the visual purity of a diamond and takes inclusions and blemishes into account. Very, very slightly included (VVS) or Very slightly included (VS) diamonds feature inclusions that are invisible to the naked eye. These grades are a wonderful choice for your engagement ring.
CaratCarat refers to a diamond’s weight. Certain shapes maximize carats, making a stone appear larger than its weight. Engagement rings featuring Marquise, Pear, Emerald, and Oval shaped diamonds tend to look bigger on the finger than a Round Brilliant diamond that weighs the same.
