This one is solid gold throughout, hallmarked, and built around a certified stone. The emerald outline was chosen because it carries weight visually - at 1.0 carat it reads larger than a round stone of the same weight. See the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\"\u003ediamond collection\u003c\/a\u003e for other shapes and carat weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Problem\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmost everyone hits the same wall. The shape is decided within a week; the size takes months, because the natural diamond that looks right costs three to five times what feels sensible to spend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Solid Gold Changes Everything\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLab grown diamonds close that gap without asking you to accept a lesser stone. Identical hardness, identical brilliance, identical certification categories - a different origin and a different price. Combined with a solid gold setting, that means a bigger stone on a ring built to be worn every day. Every emerald pave engagement ring we make is hallmarked and built to the same standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePicture This\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eImagine it on the hand rather than in the box. At 1.0 carat the stone is large enough to read across a room, and the emerald outline is what makes it recognisable. This is the version of the ring you pictured before you started worrying about price. An emerald pave engagement ring is the piece people remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe questions below are the ones buyers ask most often before choosing an emerald pave engagement ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much is a 1 carat lab grown diamond engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 1 carat lab grown diamond engagement ring at Qutahia starts from around £1,100 in 9ct gold, £1,360 in 14ct and £1,575 in 18ct. Cut affects the price: emerald is the most affordable, marquise the highest. A natural diamond of the same weight typically costs three to five times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does pave mean on an engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePave describes small diamonds set closely along the band so the metal barely shows between them. It adds sparkle along the shoulders without competing with the centre stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs an emerald cut diamond a good choice for an engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn emerald cut has long, straight facets that produce a mirror-like flash rather than dense sparkle. It shows clarity more openly than a brilliant cut, so it suits a cleaner stone and a buyer who prefers an architectural look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre lab grown diamonds certified?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIGI and GIA both certify lab grown diamonds. The certificate confirms carat, colour, clarity and cut, and states clearly that the stone is lab grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean a lab grown diamond engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, a few drops of washing-up liquid and a soft toothbrush are enough. Doing this once a month keeps the stone bright. Avoid chlorine and abrasive cleaners - the risk is to the gold setting rather than the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLab grown diamond or moissanite - which is better?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not a diamond; it is silicon carbide. It throws more colour and costs less, but its hardness is 9.25. A lab grown diamond is harder at 10 and is certified as a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre lab grown diamonds acceptable for an engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown engagement ring is no longer a minority choice in the UK. It is a common decision among younger buyers, largely because the same budget buys a noticeably larger stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre lab grown diamonds good for engagement rings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. A lab grown diamond is chemically and physically identical to a mined diamond: pure carbon, 10 on the Mohs hardness scale. There is no durability difference for daily wear. The only differences are where it formed and what it costs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Qutahia Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ 9 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658781565155,"sku":"101-10502-1-0-EM-COL_YG-CT_9-LAB","price":1197.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ 14 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658781597923,"sku":"101-10502-1-0-EM-COL_YG-CT_14-LAB","price":1479.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ 18 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658781630691,"sku":"101-10502-1-0-EM-COL_YG-CT_18-LAB","price":1693.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Gold \/ 9 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658781663459,"sku":"101-10502-1-0-EM-COL_WG-CT_9-LAB","price":1197.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Gold \/ 14 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658781696227,"sku":"101-10502-1-0-EM-COL_WG-CT_14-LAB","price":1479.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Gold \/ 18 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658781728995,"sku":"101-10502-1-0-EM-COL_WG-CT_18-LAB","price":1693.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Gold \/ 9 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658781761763,"sku":"101-10502-1-0-EM-COL_RG-CT_9-LAB","price":1197.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Gold \/ 14 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658781794531,"sku":"101-10502-1-0-EM-COL_RG-CT_14-LAB","price":1479.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Gold \/ 18 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658781827299,"sku":"101-10502-1-0-EM-COL_RG-CT_18-LAB","price":1693.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/7180\/8995\/files\/large_1ebdc0b1-b959-40d3-8de7-29d5e916fee9.webp?v=1788324143","url":"https:\/\/qutahia.co.uk\/products\/emerald-lab-diamond-pave-engagement-ring-1-0ct-101-10502-1-0-em","provider":"Qutahia Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
