Women's Engagement Rings

Women's Engagement Rings

An engagement ring for her is a big purchase, and GLD's approach is simple: give you the look and fire of a natural diamond without the mined-diamond markup. Every stone here is a lab-grown diamond, chemically identical to one dug out of the ground, just made in weeks instead of a billion years and priced accordingly. That means a real diamond engagement ring for women can start around $2,500 instead of five figures. The cuts cover the classics, from round and princess to emerald and elongated cushion, so you can pick the shape that suits her. If you're ready to shop the moment without dreading the bill, this is a good place to begin. Browse the cuts and picture it on her hand.

Style-wise, GLD keeps it clean. These are solitaire engagement ring designs, a single diamond raised on a simple band so the stone gets all the attention, which is the timeless look most people picture when they think of a proposal. If she'd rather have extra sparkle framing the center, that's the busier halo engagement ring route, and it's worth knowing the difference before you buy. On metal, you're choosing between solid 14k white gold and platinum, both of which hold a diamond securely and never tarnish. A gold engagement ring for women here starts around $2,500, with platinum a step up from there. Sizes run from 5 to 13, and every ring carries GLD's lifetime guarantee, so a lifetime piece is actually backed for one.

Not sold on diamond? A moissanite engagement ring for women delivers nearly the same sparkle for even less, and GLD's Women's Moissanite Rings collection is full of them. You can also build toward a bridal ring set for women by pairing your ring with a matching band when the time comes. And if you're shopping for everyday gold rather than a proposal, the Women's Solid Gold Rings collection has plenty that isn't tied to a big question. Whichever way you lean, take the decision slowly. It's one of the few pieces of jewelry meant to last the rest of your life.
