Engagement Ring Guide for the UAE and Saudi Arabia
Buying guide

- Decide in this order: budget, natural or lab-grown, shape, setting, gold colour, then her size.
- Natural centre diamonds come in 0.5, 1 or 2 carat; lab-grown CVD in 1, 2 or 3 carat, each with an IGI or GIA certificate and free engraving.
- Rings start at AED 5,100 (Classic Pear) and are made to order in about 15 working days, then about 3 working days to the UAE or 5 to Saudi Arabia.
Natural or lab-grown: which should you choose?
Both are real diamonds with the same look and hardness. A natural diamond formed in the earth; a lab-grown CVD diamond was grown in a laboratory and costs less for the same size. Choose natural if rarity and long-term value matter to you, and lab-grown if you want a bigger stone for your budget. On these rings, natural centre stones come in 0.5, 1 or 2 carat and lab-grown in 1, 2 or 3 carat. Our natural or lab-grown checklist goes into detail.

Which shape and setting?
Shape is personal: round sparkles most, oval and pear look longer on the finger, and a heart reads as romance. Our diamond shapes compared guide puts all seven side by side. The setting decides the overall look:
| Style | What it is | Ring | From (AED, November 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solitaire | One centre diamond, seven shapes to choose from | Classic Round Diamond Ring, Classic Oval, Classic Pear and others | 5,100 (Pear), 6,000 (other shapes) |
| Three-stone | Centre diamond between two pear-shaped side diamonds | Royale Pear Diamond Ring, Royale Cushion Diamond Ring | 6,900 |
| Double halo | Heart-shaped centre diamond inside two rings of diamonds | Eternal Heart Diamond Ring | 5,800 |
Prices rise with carat weight and with a natural diamond.
Which gold colour?
All these rings come in 18K yellow, white or rose gold. Match what she already wears. White gold makes a colourless diamond look whiter; yellow and rose gold give a warmer, more traditional look.

How do you find her ring size without asking?
Borrow a ring she wears on the same finger and have it measured, or ask a close friend or sister. Each product page lists the sizes you can choose. If you are unsure, message our team before ordering and they will help you pick. If the size turns out wrong, we resize the ring whenever the design allows, and you cover only the shipping; not every design can be resized, so getting the size right first is best.
Why does the certificate matter?
A grading report from an independent lab tells you the diamond's carat, colour and clarity and, for natural stones, confirms it is natural. On these rings the centre diamond comes with an IGI or GIA certificate, in print and digital form. The report covers the centre diamond only, not the small side stones. Every ring also comes with a Lana Al Kamal certificate of authenticity, a 750 hallmark on the 18K gold and a three-year warranty that covers repairs. Read more on GIA's diamond quality factors and in our guide to the 4Cs.
Can you engrave it?
Yes. Engraving is free, so you can add initials or the date of the proposal inside the band.
How long does it take to arrive?
Engagement rings are made to order, with about 15 working days of production. Delivery then takes about 3 working days within the UAE (free) and about 5 to Saudi Arabia. Allow a few extra days before a proposal date, and message our team on WhatsApp if you need help with size or stone. Lana Al Kamal is a Dubai-based jewellery brand founded in 2018 by designer Lana Al Kamal, who studied at GIA.

Frequently asked questions
How much is an engagement ring in Dubai?
Lana Al Kamal's 18K gold engagement rings start from AED 5,100 for the Classic Pear (November 2026). The price depends on shape, setting, carat and whether the diamond is natural or lab-grown.
Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
Yes. A lab-grown diamond has the same look and hardness as a natural diamond; it was grown in a laboratory rather than formed in the earth.
Does the ring come with a certificate?
Yes. The centre diamond comes with an IGI or GIA certificate in print and digital form. The report covers the centre diamond only.
What ring sizes are available?
Each product page lists the sizes you can choose. If you are unsure of her size, message our team before ordering.
Can I order an engagement ring for delivery in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. After about 15 working days of production, delivery to Saudi Arabia takes about 5 working days.
