This one is solid gold throughout, hallmarked, and built around a certified stone. The oval outline was chosen because it carries weight visually - at 1.0 carat it reads larger than a round stone of the same weight.

The shape is decided within a week; the size takes months, because the natural diamond that looks right costs three to five times what feels sensible to spend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Solid Gold Changes Everything\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is where lab grown changes the arithmetic. The stone is diamond, not an imitation, and it wears exactly like a mined one. What changes is the price per carat, which is why buyers routinely move up a full carat without moving their budget. The setting is solid gold and hallmarked, so nothing about the ring is a shortcut. Every oval hidden halo engagement ring we make is hallmarked and built to the same standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePicture This\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThink about the first week of wearing it - the light catching it while typing, while driving, while doing nothing in particular. A 1.0 carat stone does that constantly. That is the difference between a ring that is admired once and one that is noticed every day. An oval hidden halo engagement ring is the piece people remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe questions below are the ones buyers ask most often before choosing an oval hidden halo engagement ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much is a 1 carat lab grown diamond engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 1 carat lab grown diamond engagement ring at Qutahia starts from around £1,100 in 9ct gold, £1,360 in 14ct and £1,575 in 18ct. Cut affects the price: emerald is the most affordable, marquise the highest. A natural diamond of the same weight typically costs three to five times more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a hidden halo engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hidden halo is a ring of small diamonds set underneath the centre stone, visible from the side but not from above. It makes the centre stone look larger without changing the clean outline seen from the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose an oval diamond for an engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn oval stone looks larger than a round diamond of the same carat weight because more of its surface faces upward. The elongated outline also lengthens the finger. Oval is currently one of the two most requested shapes in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich gold carat should I choose - 9ct, 14ct or 18ct?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e9ct is the most common choice in the UK: it is harder, so it scratches less in daily wear, and it is the most affordable. 18ct gives a richer gold colour and is softer. 14ct sits between the two. All three are hallmarked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre lab grown diamonds certified?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIGI and GIA both certify lab grown diamonds. The certificate confirms carat, colour, clarity and cut, and states clearly that the stone is lab grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean a lab grown diamond engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm water, a few drops of washing-up liquid and a soft toothbrush are enough. Doing this once a month keeps the stone bright. Avoid chlorine and abrasive cleaners - the risk is to the gold setting rather than the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLab grown diamond or moissanite - which is better?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoissanite is not a diamond; it is silicon carbide. It throws more colour and costs less, but its hardness is 9.25. A lab grown diamond is harder at 10 and is certified as a diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre lab grown diamonds acceptable for an engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lab grown engagement ring is no longer a minority choice in the UK. It is a common decision among younger buyers, largely because the same budget buys a noticeably larger stone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Qutahia Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ 9 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658778452195,"sku":"101-10501-1-0-OV-COL_YG-CT_9-LAB","price":1531.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ 14 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658778484963,"sku":"101-10501-1-0-OV-COL_YG-CT_14-LAB","price":1890.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ 18 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658778517731,"sku":"101-10501-1-0-OV-COL_YG-CT_18-LAB","price":2176.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Gold \/ 9 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658778550499,"sku":"101-10501-1-0-OV-COL_WG-CT_9-LAB","price":1531.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Gold \/ 14 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658778583267,"sku":"101-10501-1-0-OV-COL_WG-CT_14-LAB","price":1890.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Gold \/ 18 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658778616035,"sku":"101-10501-1-0-OV-COL_WG-CT_18-LAB","price":2176.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Gold \/ 9 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658778648803,"sku":"101-10501-1-0-OV-COL_RG-CT_9-LAB","price":1531.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Gold \/ 14 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658778681571,"sku":"101-10501-1-0-OV-COL_RG-CT_14-LAB","price":1890.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Gold \/ 18 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658778714339,"sku":"101-10501-1-0-OV-COL_RG-CT_18-LAB","price":2176.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/7180\/8995\/files\/large_c1fb0586-13b9-4990-8481-06089ca15c84.webp?v=1788324121","url":"https:\/\/qutahia.com\/products\/oval-lab-diamond-hidden-halo-engagement-ring-1-0ct-101-10501-1-0-ov","provider":"Qutahia Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
