The oval lab-grown diamond
At the center is a 6 × 8 mm oval genuine lab-grown diamond — a real diamond, chemically, physically, and optically identical to a mined one, simply created in a controlled lab. It has the same legendary sparkle and the same perfect 10 on the Mohs scale hardness, in an ethical, conflict-free, more sustainable form. This is not a simulant like cubic zirconia or moissanite — it is true diamond, and its elongated oval shape gives elegant presence on the finger. You can read more in our complete guide to lab-grown diamonds, or explore more lab-grown diamond engagement rings across the collection.
IGI certified, D color, VVS clarity
The center diamond is independently certified by IGI (the International Gemological Institute), so its quality is documented and verified rather than simply described. It is graded D color — the highest, completely colorless grade — and VVS clarity (very, very slightly included), meaning any inclusions are invisible to the naked eye. A top-tier, ice-white, eye-flawless diamond, with the paperwork to prove it.
Lab-grown emerald leaves
Climbing the band are lab-grown emeralds in marquise and round cuts, set like leaves along a vine. Lab-grown emeralds are genuine emeralds — real emerald (beryl) created in controlled lab conditions, with the same rich green color as mined stones, in an ethical, conflict-free form, often with cleaner clarity. Their vivid green is what gives this ring its living, botanical character. (Emeralds are softer and more delicate than the diamond center, so they appreciate gentle care — see below.)
Nature-inspired design
The whole ring is built around the idea of growth: a bypass band that curves like two stems meeting, asymmetric leaf clusters, and an open, organic silhouette. It is a modern take on the leaf, vine, and twig styles loved by those drawn to fairytale, woodland, and cottagecore aesthetics — a ring that feels like it was found in an enchanted garden, now anchored by a certified diamond.

Choose your gold: 10K, 14K, or 18K solid yellow gold
The ring is crafted in solid yellow gold — genuine precious metal throughout, not plated or filled — and you choose your karat from the drop-down. 10K is the most durable and most affordable; 14K is the classic balance of warmth and everyday strength, and our most popular default; 18K has the highest gold content for the richest, deepest golden color. The yellow color is permanent — solid gold does not tarnish or fade and will not turn your skin green — and its warm tone is the perfect stem for green emerald leaves and a bright white diamond. Not sure which to pick? Our 10K vs 14K vs 18K karat comparison guide walks through the differences. Other gold colors are available on request.
Ethically made
Both the lab-grown diamond and the lab-grown emeralds are inherently ethical, conflict-free choices with a smaller footprint than mined stones — part of our commitment to a more transparent, sustainable jewelry industry.

Care
The diamond and gold are easy to care for, but the emerald leaves are more delicate, so treat the whole ring gently. Clean with a soft cloth and warm, lightly soapy water — never an ultrasonic or steam cleaner, which can harm emeralds — and avoid harsh chemicals. Store it separately, and remove it before hard knocks, swimming, or heavy manual work.
Nature Lab Diamond Ring FAQs
Is this a real diamond?
Yes — the center is a lab-grown diamond, a genuine diamond chemically, physically, and optically identical to a mined one. It is not a simulant like cubic zirconia or moissanite; it is true diamond, simply created in a lab.
What does IGI certified mean?
IGI is the International Gemological Institute, an independent gemological laboratory. An IGI-certified diamond has been graded and documented by experts, so its color, clarity, cut, and carat are verified rather than simply described.
Are the green stones real emeralds?
Yes — they are lab-grown emeralds, which are genuine emeralds (real beryl) created in a lab. They have the same rich green color as mined emeralds, in an ethical, conflict-free form.
What do D color and VVS clarity mean?
D color is the highest, completely colorless grade, and VVS clarity (very, very slightly included) means any inclusions are invisible to the naked eye — together describing a top-tier, ice-white, eye-flawless diamond.
What size is the center stone?
The oval center measures 6 × 8 mm, giving it elegant, elongated presence on the finger.
Does it come with the certificate?
Yes — the center diamond is IGI certified with an independent grading report. If you would like the report details or number, just reach out and we will be glad to provide them.
How do I care for the emeralds?
Emeralds are softer and more delicate than the diamond, so clean the ring gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, never an ultrasonic or steam cleaner, and avoid harsh chemicals and hard knocks.
Which metal should I choose?
All three karats are solid yellow gold, so it comes down to balance: 10K is the most durable and most affordable, 14K is the classic all-rounder and our most popular default, and 18K has the highest gold content for the richest, deepest golden color. Any of them keeps its warm tone permanently. Our karat comparison guide can help you decide.
What metal is it made from?
Solid yellow gold in your chosen karat — 10K, 14K, or 18K, selected from the drop-down — genuine precious metal throughout, not plated or filled, for a warm, lifetime-quality setting that does not tarnish or fade.
How long until my ring ships?
This ring is made to order just for you in solid yellow gold, so please allow approximately 4–6 weeks of production time before it ships.
Will it tarnish or turn my finger green?
No. Solid yellow gold is a non-reactive precious metal that does not tarnish or turn skin green, keeping its warm finish with normal care.
How durable is it for everyday wear?
The diamond center is a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale, the hardest material in jewelry, so it wears beautifully. The emerald accents are softer, so gentle care keeps the whole ring its best.
How do I choose my ring size?
Select your size from the dropdown at checkout. Since this ring is made to order, we recommend confirming your size first — a local jeweler can measure your finger for the most accurate fit.
Is it ethically made, and does it arrive gift-ready?
Yes to both. The lab-grown diamond and lab-grown emeralds are inherently ethical and conflict-free, and every ring ships in a free luxury velvet box.
