What is the difference between a natural and lab-grown diamond?
Natural diamonds are formed deep within the earth over billions of years, while lab diamonds are created in a controlled environment using advanced technology. Both have the same chemical composition and visual brilliance but differ in origin and price. At Lauren B, we carry both options and are happy to help you decide what makes sense for your budget, preferences, and lifestyle.
Can I make a virtual appointment at Lauren B if I’m not local to New York?
Yes! We offer virtual consultations for clients around the world. You’ll meet one-on-one with a design consultant through a video call to compare center stones, explore setting styles, and talk through custom details—all from the comfort of your couch. It’s the same personalized experience you’d get in-store, just done digitally.
Does Lauren B have in-stock color gemstone rings?
Absolutely! We have a variety of in-stock color gemstone rings from Ruby to Amethyst!
Is financing available for engagement rings?
We do offer financing through select partners. If you're interested, we can send you a quick application and walk you through the process.
Can I upgrade my engagement ring in the future?
Yes! Many of our clients choose to upgrade their center stone over time. We offer a trade-in program for qualifying diamonds. Our team can walk you through the details based on what you purchase.
What kind of documentation or certification comes with my engagement ring?
Every Lauren B engagement ring comes with a full suite of materials to support and protect your purchase. You’ll receive an official Lauren B invoice, a professional appraisal document, our ring care guide, a Limited Lifetime Manufacturing Warranty card, and a pamphlet with insurance information from Jeweler’s Mutual. If your ring includes a certified center stone, we’ll also provide the diamond’s grading certificate, typically from GIA or IGI.
