Lab-Grown Diamond Rings in Dubai: Prices, Certificates and What to Check
Buying guide
A lab-grown diamond ring in Dubai costs far less than the same size in a natural diamond: in our Classic Round Diamond Ring, 1 ct lab-grown is AED 6,000 and 1 ct natural is AED 45,000 (November 2026). A lab-grown (CVD) diamond is a real diamond, graded like a mined one, so check the grading report, the gold karat and the price per carat before you pay. Our ANA rings start at AED 5,100 with a 1 ct lab-grown diamond in 18K gold. For the whole decision, see our engagement ring guide.

- A lab-grown (CVD) diamond is a real diamond grown in a lab; it is graded like a mined one and comes with a report.
- In our Classic Round, 1 ct lab-grown costs AED 6,000 and 1 ct natural AED 45,000, so lab-grown buys a much larger stone (November 2026).
- Before you pay, check the report number, the gold karat, the price per carat, the setting and the delivery time.
Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
Yes. A lab-grown diamond is carbon crystallised as diamond, the same material as a mined diamond, grown in a lab instead of formed underground. CVD (chemical vapour deposition) is one of the two main growing methods. Lab-grown diamonds are graded on the same 4Cs (cut, colour, clarity, carat) and the report states that the stone is laboratory-grown.

What to buyClassic Round Diamond Ring, from AED 6,000Five checks before you buy a lab-grown diamond ring
- The grading report. Ask for an IGI or GIA report and match its number to the stone.
- The gold. 18K (750) is 75% gold. Check the karat of the band, not only the diamond.
- Price per carat. Compare like with like: the same shape, carat and grade.
- The shape and setting. Elongated shapes such as oval and pear look larger per carat. See diamond shapes compared.
- Size and timing. Our rings come in EU sizes 48 to 65 and are made to order in about 15 working days, then about 3 working days of shipping within the UAE.
