Lab Grown Diamond Wedding Bands

Lab grown diamond wedding bands come in many forms, from a slim row of diamonds across the top to a full eternity band set all the way around. This hub covers bands for women and men, eternity styles and curved or contoured bands designed to sit flush against an engagement ring. It also explains the sizing and metal choices to settle before you buy.

Half eternity vs. full eternity

A half eternity band has diamonds across the top portion of the ring. Because the lower part is plain metal, it is more comfortable between the fingers and can usually be resized. A full eternity band has diamonds all the way around. It offers sparkle from every angle, but it generally cannot be resized easily, so confirm the size carefully and ask about the retailer’s exchange policy.

Setting styles

• Prong and shared-prong: lets more light into each stone for maximum sparkle.
• Channel set: stones sit between two walls of metal, a smooth and secure choice popular for men’s bands.
• Pavé: many small diamonds set close together for a glittering surface.
• Bezel: each stone sits in its own metal rim, a sleek modern look.

Bands that fit with an engagement ring

Many engagement rings, especially low-set solitaires and halo rings, leave a gap when worn beside a straight band. Curved, contoured or notched bands are shaped to follow the outline of the engagement ring so the two sit flush. If possible, check the profile of your engagement ring before choosing, or look for wedding ring sets designed to be worn together.

Men’s lab-grown diamond bands

Men’s bands are usually wider and heavier. Diamonds are often channel set or flush set so that nothing sticks up to catch on clothing or equipment. A comfort fit interior, rounded on the inside, makes a wider band easier to wear all day.

Metal and sizing

Matching the metal of your engagement ring helps both rings wear at a similar rate. Platinum is dense and naturally white. 14k gold is a widely available, durable option in yellow, white and rose. Ring sizes change with temperature and time of day, so measure more than once, or ask a jeweler, before ordering an eternity band.
