There can be quite a bit of mystery surrounding these stones, and how they measure up to natural diamonds and other diamond alternatives. Here is a starting guide to determine if a lab-grown stone is right for you! Continue reading

There are so many factors that go into picking an engagement ring and setting. A lot of it comes down to personal style and preference, but for many people it’s important to be practical when choosing their engagement ring. Whether you have a job in the medical field, working with kids or even have kids of your own, picking a more durable design can be very important. Here at Lauren B, our clients are always asking what the best option is for these types of situations. Below are our recommendations for low profile or more durable setting options:
Getting engaged is arguably one of the most important and sentimental moments in life. Bending down on one knee to ask your person for forever is nerve-racking all on its own. Add the pressure of planning the perfect proposal, and a lot of stress can come from something that should bring nothing but joy and excitement to your life. That’s why we started our NYC proposal series on the Lauren B Instagram page. Being based in the city, we have countless beautiful proposal locations in our backyard, and we want to help make this process as seamless for you as possible.
With the launch of their latest venture, @BetchesBrides, and her upcoming wedding this summer, wedding band shopping was at the top of Betches CEO Aleen Kuperman’s list!

Their blog, written in their signature tone, highlights topics like “7 Tips for Writing the Perfect Wedding Speech” and “How to Decide Who Gets a Plus One.”
So, how about: where do I start when picking the right wedding band?!
Along with other 80’s fashion trends such as high waisted jeans, embellished dresses, and neon leggings - marquise diamonds are currently making their comeback. Although the thought of a marquise engagement ring may seem a bit old school, our modern, sleek designs bring an elegant appeal to these antique shaped stones.
This year has been a great one for Lauren B as we started doing our pop up events across the US. Our first pop-up took place in Los Angeles and we will be having our fourth this weekend (August 4th and 5th) in Boston. To make these pop-up events the best possible experience for everyone coming, we have put together a collection of travel rings with varied styles and sizes that ensure every client leaves happy.

Cushion cut diamonds are perhaps the most intricate of all diamond shapes. There are so many variations of cutting style and finding the right cut is crucial when it comes to picking the perfect diamond for your ring! Like all fancy shapes (non-round cut diamonds), the GIA grading report will not specify the actual cut grade of the diamond, so this makes choosing the right one for your engagement ring that much harder. The cut will make all the difference in the appearance of your diamond.
Today's Lauren B Diamond Difference is about an often requested topic that we have yet to cover in full detail; emerald-cut diamonds. This shape is by far one of the most elegant diamond cuts; because of its step-cut faceting, it gives an off understated brilliance with large flashes of sparkle coming from its long/linear faceting pattern. While other shapes come in and out of fashion, emerald cuts are like the steady horse in the race that will always have a timeless appeal. As far as ring designs emerald cuts are quite versatile but most clients prefer them in our non-halo designs; either in our delicate micro pave settings or as the centerpiece in a three-stone combination.
You finally have the perfect engagement ring design... one additional aspect you want to make sure you don't neglect is getting the right RING SIZE! An engagement ring should fit pretty tight overall. There should be some resistance in taking it on and off.
