No matter what, diamonds are a huge investment. However, there is no ‘one size fits all’ answer. James Allen has a wide range of engagement rings to suit all budgets.
The most popular diamond size chosen for engagement rings is a 1.0 carat center stone. However, couples can opt for both smaller and larger diamonds. Another great and more affordable option at James Allen is lab-created diamonds. Lab-created diamonds are the next generation of diamonds that give you the benefit of purchasing a larger size diamond at a more affordable price.
There is a selection of diamond shapes to choose from. These include round, princess, cushion, emerald, oval, radiant, asscher, marquise, pear and heart shaped diamonds.
