The variety of diamond rings

Diamond rings are among the most popular pieces of jewellery. They're elegant, easy to combine, and suitable both for a proposal and as a special gift for a birthday or anniversary.

The countless design options for diamond rings create a huge variety of products. There's something suitable for every occasion, every taste and every budget.

Solitaires and classic engagement rings

Diamond rings are especially popular as engagement rings. The classic engagement ring is set with a single diamond, known as a solitaire. Solitaires are timelessly elegant, which is exactly why they're so popular.

Memoire rings

Alongside classic engagement rings, Memoire rings are also very popular. These are diamond rings set with several stones, usually fully or half set. They give any outfit a high-quality look and can be combined as stackable rings with a wedding ring or engagement ring.

Quality characteristics of diamonds

The 4 C's

The quality, and therefore also the price, of diamond rings is largely influenced by the diamonds themselves. The 4 C's are commonly used to assess quality:

  • Carat describes the weight, and therefore also the size, of a diamond
  • Cut refers to the cut, i.e. the shape of the diamond, for example brilliant, oval, pear
  • Colour indicates how light the diamond is
  • Clarity describes how many inclusions a diamond has

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about diamond rings

How much does a real diamond ring cost?

Diamond rings are available from around 400 euros. However, the number and quality of the diamonds, as well as the material of the ring, play an important role. This means prices can vary widely, reaching into the five-figure range.

Is a diamond worth more than a brilliant?

No, not necessarily. The brilliant cut is one way of cutting a diamond. Viewed from above, the diamond looks round. Besides the cut, weight, clarity and colour also play a major role when it comes to the value of diamonds.

What's better – natural diamonds or Lab Grown Diamonds?

Natural diamonds formed in the earth over many years and have to be mined. This makes them rare and gives them symbolic meaning. Lab Grown Diamonds are chemically and physically identical to natural diamonds, meaning no difference can be seen with the naked eye. They're produced by people by imitating natural conditions. As a result, Lab Grown Diamonds can be produced in large quantities and aren't rare, which is why they come at a better price. So it depends on whether rarity and symbolic meaning or the price matter more to you.
