Lab Diamonds Dallas

Lab Grown Diamonds

Lab grown diamonds in Dallas or man made diamonds are perfect for customers that are looking for a less expensive alternative to natural diamonds. Lab created diamonds have the same sparkle compared to a natural diamond but are much more inexpensive.

What is the difference? It is simple – mined diamonds are formed underneath earth’s crust and man-made diamonds are created in a laboratory with new innovative technology. Regardless of how the diamonds originate, they are both in face real diamonds.

How are lab Created diamonds made?

Lab grown diamonds are created with evolutionary technology at high temperatures and pressures, just like mined diamonds. A tiny diamond seed is placed in a laboratory chamber with carbon and gas. Once the chamber reaches around 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit, the diamond seed is pressed to form a crystalized carbon diamond that perfectly resembles a mined diamond.

They have the same crystal structure, chemical composition, optical properties as mined diamonds. Even though lab diamonds are not sourced from beneath the earth’s surface, they are less expensive, have superb quality and are more environmentally friendly compared to mining diamonds naturally.

Less Expensive Alternative

Natural diamonds can reach remarkably high prices due to the market demand and desire for the perfect cut, color, clarity, and carat of diamond quality. They also have a much longer supply chain and mining process than lab created diamonds which involves spending more money.

Lab diamonds can range to be 20-40% less expensive than natural diamonds. This price difference is attractive to customers, especially millennial’s that are looking to buy an engagement ring and want to save money!

Ethically Sourced & Environmentally Friendly

Diamond mining can be seen an unethical practice due to the unsafe conditions and unfair labor wages. When you decide to purchase a lab created diamond, you are given full transparency of where it was sourced and are not supporting any possible unethical practices.

Mining for diamonds requires a lot of land and can negatively impact the ecosystems nearby. For example, chemical pollution is a result from strip mining and can affect the land or oceans around it. Purchasing a man-made diamond ensures that it was created in a lab with less harm to the environment or people involved.

Quality Scale

After a lab diamond is created, it is sent to a diamond certification lab, for example the International Gemological Institute, or GIA to be graded and certified. It may be surprising but lab created and mined diamonds are both graded on Mohs’ scale to determine the hardness. The higher it is on the scale (10), the more durable it is.

How to Shop For An Engagement Ring

Posted on May 12, 2020May 14, 2020 by diasuer

When shopping for an engagement ring, be sure to keep the following tips in mind!

1) Determine your budget

This is a great place to start your engagement ring shopping. Before you’ve even see any type of jewelry, be sure to calculate what you can afford. A professional, well-trained jeweler will be sure to guide you and show you options that will get you the best diamond for your price range. Considering looking for well reputable wholesale diamond dealers.

2) Know her ring size

Without a ring size, it’s hard to go ring shopping. There are times when ring prices are raised due to ring size. Also, some eternity diamond rings are not able to be resized, and must be completely recreated.

Planning on surprising her? Keep an eye on her favorite rings and bring them to the store with you. Don’t make it too obvious! If you’ve taken her favorite ring she might get suspicious.

3) Spy on Her Pinterest Page

The first stop on the research train, Pinterest. Every girl has AT LEAST 1 ( if not, multiple) highly organized boards on her Pinterest page dedicated to her dream wedding.

It’s one of the first places a woman will go to be inspired. In here you might be able to find clues as to what types of stones and styles she prefers. This will give you a great starting point on understanding what shape, gemstone, and cut she’s interested in.

For our current products and engagement ring inspiration, visit our Pinterest page.

4) Non-Traditional Center Stones

Of course, the most common stone for an engagement ring is a Diamond. Though with todays modern world, many women are choosing more eclectic, non-traditional center stones for their engagement rings, such as blue sapphires or pink moissanite.

5) Understand the 4c’s

6) Shop for Certified Diamonds

7) Try different Metal Colors

There isn’t an endless amount of options when choosing metal, but that’s not to determine the importance of your choice. Metals will influence the gemstone or diamond you choose in a very literal way. Some metals will not pair well with certain jewels, causing your gemstone to be perceived with less quality. For example, paring a lower grade diamond with a gold band might make your diamond look more yellow than it actually is. It’s best you work with a quality jeweler for their expertise in guiding you to make the proper choice for you.

8) Know your soon-to-be fiancé’s lifestyle

Understanding your fiancés daily routine can help with determining the basic style of the ring. Choosing simplicity over extravagant can lead you in very specific directions. Whether she lives an active life, or is always traveling, be sure to ask her what she’s looking for in a diamond engagement ring. She might want something simple and small as to not be so intrusive on her daily routine. Or she might want an extravagant ring to wear for special occasions, and a separate band for everyday.

9) Think of the Wedding Band

When purchasing an engagement ring, it will save you time and money to purchase the wedding band as a set. It will also be easier to match the engagement ring style to the band if purchased at the same time.

10) Trendy Styles vs Classic Styles

This is where things can get overwhelming. There seems to be an endless amount of styles, it could be hard to know what’s the best fit for your bride-to-be. As mentioned before, visit her Pinterest page! Ask her friends if she’s ever mentioned engagement ring styles. There are many ways to determine how your fiancés personality might influence her engagement ring style.

How Much Should I Spend on an Engagement Ring?

Posted on April 14, 2020September 3, 2021 by diasuer

Engagement ring shopping can be one of the most exciting experiences for a couple! While this is a milestone many people are excited to reach, it’s important to be mentally and emotionally prepared before you start the buying process.

Spend What YOU Can Afford

You never want to purchase an engagement ring that will leave you in an uncomfortable financial situation. Remember, an engagement ring is meant to symbolize your commitment and love to your significant lover. It’s not meant to put you in financial stress!

Make sure you’ve reviewed your current debts and income, even before setting a budget and visiting a jewelry store. Of course, this will be different for every couple. As you sort through your finances, give yourself a ballpark estimate on what amount you’d feel most comfortable investing in an engagement ring.

If you feel uncomfortable reviewing your finances on your own, it’s a great idea to contact a financial planner to give you some advice on a reasonable budget to set. They will be able to guide you during this process.

What is your fiancé-to-be expectation?

Being proposed to can be one of the most exciting milestones in a persons life.

Be sure you’re on the same page as your partner. You wouldn’t want to ruin the moment by doing the wrong thing. If your partner expects an extravagant engagement ring, it might be helpful to talk about finances before shopping. In todays modern times, there are couples who are open to splitting the cost between both of them.

Three Months Salary Rule – Is it outdated?

If you’ve done any online research so far, you’ll most likely come across the two month salary “rule”. This rule was created by De Beers marketing team after

Let’s do some simple math. If you earn $60,000 a year, you’d be expected to spend $15,000 on an engagement ring. If that sounds like a reasonable amount for you, then stick to this guideline. For most people, this is not a comfortable budget. Therefore, we say calculate your budget based on your current income, debts, and desires.

Prioritize! What’s most important to you?

Priorities differ from couple to couple. Perhaps you dream of putting down a large down payment on a house over purchasing a large engagement ring. Or vice versa!

There are diamond “alternatives” such as moissanite and manmade diamonds which can significantly bring down the final cost. You don’t have to sacrifice on quality if you have a lower budget.

What is your lifestyle?

This portion of the engagement ring shopping often goes unnoticed. If you’re soon to be fiancé lives a very active lifestyle, it might be a clever idea to purchase a smaller center stone. A smaller center diamond reduces the chances of an engagement ring getting damaged by outside activity. There are a few couples who even decide to get rid of the engagement ring all together, and stick with wedding bands. Discuss these options with your partner!

Is Bigger Better?

Often times, designing an engagement ring filled with sentimental qwerks that will tug at her heart strings. That being said, bigger carat weight isn’t always what she wants. There are ways to personalize any ring without a large center stone.

How do I Save up for an engagement ring?

Try working backwards. Once you set your budget, figure out a timeline for your proposal date. Divide your budget by the number of months you have until your proposal day. Keep in mind, it could take up to a month to create an engagement ring, especially if you’re hoping to create a custom design.

So for example. Let’s say you have set a budget of $5,000 for your engagement ring, and want to propose in 5 months. You should plan to save $1000 a month. Make sure you contact your jeweler and ask if any financing is available if you’re not able to save up before your planned proposal date. Keep in mind, wholesale jewelers like Diamond and Gold Warehouse offer better prices than most jewelry stores, but typically do not offer financing plans. It’s a great idea to discuss payment during the beginning moments of your appointment.

Engagement Ring Shopping

Posted on March 31, 2020December 14, 2022 by diasuer

There are many traditions being broken in the wedding industry. Women are opting to keep their last name, and some are keen on ditching the idea of a white dress. Here are a few new trends we’ve seen when it comes to engagement ring shopping.

It’s normal to shop for the ring together

As tradition goes, the groom-to-be takes up the responsibility of choosing the engagement ring for his future fiancé. With so many jewelry designs and styles available, this can quickly become an overwhelming task.

Shopping together takes the pressure off when having to choose the perfect ring without the insight of your significant other. Ring shopping together gives you an opportunity to choose specific styles that represents your everlasting connection.

Since this is a big investment, it’s a great idea to get exactly what you want the first time around. If you’re still looking to be surprised, suggest certain elements you MUST have, and leave the rest up to him!

The Center stone doesn’t have to be a Diamond

With cost-conscious movements like Tiny Homes, you can see there’s a big wave of people looking to save money on big investments. While diamonds are the most traditional route, a great way to save costs on your engagement ring is by choosing a Gemstone as the center stone.

Popular gemstones include (but are not limited to) sapphires, pink moissanite, and amethyst. For those who lean towards very unique center stones, there are about 130 species of gemstones to choose from. While a gemstone can add a fun pop of color to your ring finger, it’s a smart way to save on costs.

Non-traditional Stone Shapes are Trending

Engagement rings have become a way to express your personal style. While Oval Cut and Round Cut diamonds will always be popular for its timeless aesthetic, it could be worth your while to choose a diamond cut that is less expected. Keep in mind, trending diamonds usually see a spike in price. As the market fluctuates, browse diamond cuts that have been overlooked.

Take for example the Marquise Cut diamond. This particular diamond cut has the illusion of appearing larger than its carat weight. Its unique shape is unexpected, yet elegant. Shopping for non-traditional cuts has the potential to save you money in the long run, and is a great way to express your individuality.

Splitting the Cost is an option

Engagement rings can be an expensive investment! While this is a controversial topic, more couples are having the conversation to split the cost. Some women agree to contribute, relieving their partner of any financial pressure. Other women don’t find it appropriate and see an engagement ring purchase as the duty of their spouse. Whatever your perspective is, it’s best to open the conversation and see what your partner stands on this matter.

Guys can wear engagement rings too

This switch in tradition has slowly gained popularity within the past few years. It has become more common to find men are equally as interested in showing off their commitment before the wedding day, just like their bride-to-be. The rise of “man-gagement” rings can surely be a new trend to come, as more woman want their partner to be more inclusive in the engagement process. And as an added bonus, the price for men’s wedding bands is far more affordable than an engagement ring.

10 Things Jewelry Stores Won’t Tell You

Posted on November 20, 2019December 14, 2022 by diasuer

1. MOST JEWELRY IS MARKED UP 100 PERCENT

Jewelry is a product that people don’t buy every day and jewelry stores only turn their pricey inventory about once a year, so the markup is generally 100 percent. (Unless you buy from a wholesaler like us.) The 50% Off Sale & Huge Sales at Jewelry Stores are not really sales.

If you see a sale price in the newspaper, don’t fall for it. You will probably pay much more than the regular price. Some major retail jewelry stores, prior to a sale, will mark up diamond rings double or triple the normal selling price, then marked them half-price during a sale.

At Diamond and Gold Warehouse our Dallas Wholesale Diamond Rings and Dallas Engagement Rings are priced at the regular price. We don’t mark up our jewelry to bring it down just to make a sale. Our Dallas Wholesale Rings and Dallas Engagement Rings are the best quality. They are beautiful, vibrant in color and gorgeous on the finger. The expression on her face when she sees your gift of love for her……is priceless.
