When searching for the perfect diamond, quality is crucial. Leading organizations like the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the International Gemological Institute (IGI) have established strict grading protocols, ensuring consistency and reliability in diamond evaluation.
Typically, shopping for an engagement ring involves visiting a physical store and holding the product in your hands. At Lauren B, we understand that might not always be possible if you’re not near our New York City showroom. That’s why we offer the exciting option to remotely design your dream ring with one of our expert design consultants.
When looking at diamonds, the top things buyers look at are the Four C’s: Color, Cut, Clarity, and Carat—but where did these grading statistics come from? There are several grading institutes across the world, but only one can be the best: the Gemological Institute of America, or GIA for short.
In the Fall of 2023, we set out with a plan to create a collection of 10 new engagement rings with the intention of filming the process from start to finish. Our video team spent hours with our master craftsmen each day filming each part of the ring creation process for each design. What ended up being our most successful, and now viral, reel was just a few seconds of several weeks worth of work.
