Engagement ring with diamond

A solitaire ring is characterized by the fact that it bears a single, central diamond and places it in the center. To maximize its brilliance and elegance, it is usually presented in a plain appearance. Other diamond rings, on the other hand, often feature several diamonds or gemstones. These are either arranged along the band or around the central stone.

The prong setting is the most popular, as it holds the diamond in place with metal points and at the same time allows a lot of light to pass through, giving it a special shine. In contrast, the bezel setting offers greater protection as it completely surrounds the stone.

The optimal carat size for an engagement ring depends on individual preference, budget and the design of the ring. Typically, engagement rings range from 0.5 to 1.5 carats, while a 1 carat diamond is classically considered standard, eye-catching and highly visible on the ring finger. Larger diamonds with a presence of more than 1.5 carats often require a personal consultation to find the optimal combination of carat and design.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are just as high quality as real diamonds. Their hardness and brilliance are identical, as they have the same chemical, physical and optical structure as natural diamonds. The main difference lies in their formation: lab-grown diamonds are created under controlled laboratory conditions, whereas natural diamonds are formed millions of years underground. Lab-grown diamonds are CO2-neutral due to their cultivation in the laboratory at Pukka Berlin and are often of a higher quality.
