LAB CREATED DIAMONDS

Round Brilliant Diamonds

The round brilliant is the most popular diamond shape in the world, and for good reason. Its 57 carefully arranged facets are designed to maximise light return, giving it more fire and brilliance than any other shape.
It remains the only diamond shape to receive an official cut grade from the GIA — which means you have a reliable, standardised way to assess quality. However, a GIA Excellent grade covers a wide range, and roughly 55% of all round diamonds on the market carry that label. The proportions table is what separates the truly exceptional stones from the merely acceptable ones.

Lab created round brilliants offer the same exceptional optical performance as their mined counterparts – at a price point that lets you prioritise cut quality without compromise.
