Our Favorite Lab-Grown Diamond Wedding Bands
Let’s face it; weddings are expensive. By the time you’ve bought the engagement ring, secured a wedding venue, weeded down the guest list to you 100 closest friends and family members, downgraded from calla lilies to just plain lilies and acquiesced to chicken or fish in lieu of Filet Mignon — the purse strings are tight to say the last. And as critical as they are, wedding bands are often the last item on a very long checklist of expensive to do’s — enter the lab-grown diamond wedding band.
While you could opt for a simple gold band, and many do, many women want to add a little bit of extra sparkle, or have the option to retire their engagement ring post-wedding and wear it on their right hand, or from time to time, when the event or evening permits. Diamond wedding bands can quickly become expensive, and if you’re looking to cut cost for the big day (who isn’t), a lab-grown diamond band could be just the way to go.
These are our five favorite lab-grown diamond bands just in time for wedding season. If you’re not sure lab-grown is right for you, consider this.
