Lab Grown Diamond Bridal Ring Sets
Explore our beautiful collection of bridal set rings set with the finest quality sustainably grown lab grown diamonds. These gorgeous engagement rings and wedding rings are specially designed to be worn together. These sets are created to ensure that the engagement ring and wedding band complement each other aesthetically and fit together comfortably on the finger. The engagement ring is often the focal point of the set, featuring a centre diamond and additional accented stones, while the wedding band is designed to be worn alongside the engagement ring, often featuring smaller diamonds or gemstones that align with the design of the engagement ring. A bridal ring set can either be purchased together, or later, which simplifies the process of finding a matching wedding band and ensuring a cohesive and coordinated look.
Lab grown diamonds have the same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds and are optically identical to them. However, there are a few notable differences between lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds which include:
Origin: Natural diamonds are mined from the earth, while lab grown diamonds are created in a laboratory. The creation of lab grown diamonds involves replicating the conditions that result in diamond formation.
Sustainability: Lab grown diamonds are often seen as a more sustainable option compared to natural diamonds. The mining of natural diamonds can have negative environmental and social impacts, while lab grown diamonds require fewer resources and can be produced with minimal environmental harm.
Cost: Lab grown diamonds are generally more affordable than natural diamonds. The manufacturing process of lab grown diamonds is more controlled and efficient, leading to lower production costs and ultimately lower prices for consumers.
Availability: Lab grown diamonds offer a consistent supply and greater availability compared to natural diamonds, which can be limited in supply and availability based on mining conditions and regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are bridal set rings unique?
Bridal set rings typically consist of an engagement ring and a matching wedding band that are designed to be worn together. The combination of the two rings creates a cohesive and complementary look that is unique to each couple.
The engagement ring usually features a larger centre stone, such as a diamond, and may have additional smaller diamonds or gemstones. The wedding band is designed to fit alongside the engagement ring, often featuring a similar style or design elements.
The set is specially crafted to ensure that the rings fit together perfectly and create a stunning overall appearance on the finger. Additionally, some bridal sets can be customised with unique details or personalised engraving, making them even more one-of-a-kind.
Can I add coloured gemstones to my bridal ring set?
When it comes to adding coloured gemstones to a bridal ring set, it depends on personal preference and the style of the ring. Many bridal sets feature a centre lab diamond with smaller accent diamonds, but it is certainly possible to incorporate coloured gemstones into the design.

Ethica can help you choose the right gemstone and design for your bridal set. We will guide you in selecting gemstones that complement each other and create a cohesive look. Additionally, we can advise you on the durability and maintenance of different gemstones, as some may require extra care and protection.
Ultimately, adding coloured gemstones to your bridal ring set can be a beautiful and meaningful way to customise your wedding jewellery. It allows you to incorporate your favourite colours or birthstones, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that symbolises your love and individuality.
Will a bridal set suit a smaller hand?
Yes, a bridal set can suit a smaller hand. In fact, a bridal set can be a great option for those with smaller hands as it creates a balanced and harmonious look on the finger. However, it's important to consider the proportions of the rings and choose a set that complements the size and shape of your hand. For example, a smaller centre stone or a daintier setting may be more proportionate and flattering on a smaller hand. Additionally, opting for a thinner band width can help create the illusion of longer, more slender fingers. Ultimately, it's a personal preference and you should choose a bridal set that you feel comfortable and confident wearing. Our bridal set rings are available in a variety of different widths and stone sizes, making them accessible to everyone.

Are there any risks in choosing a bridal set?
Yes, there are a few risks to consider when choosing a bridal set, for those designs that are set with melée or accented diamonds. While these risks exist, they can be mitigated with proper care and maintenance. Regular cleaning, routine inspections, and being cautious by removing your ring whilst doing physical activities can help minimise these factors.
1. Prong wear: If the bridal set has a matching halo engagement ring, and the prongs of the halo are exposed, they can be prone to damage through daily wear and tear. Since they are smaller and set in a more delicate way, they may be more susceptible to being knocked causing chipping or loosening. This can also apply to shoulder set rings and diamond accented designs.
2. Careful resizing: In case you want to resize the ring in the future, it can be more complicated and potentially costly with rings set with multiple diamonds or gemstones. Since there are more diamonds, resizing it could require additional work or even resetting the melée or accented diamonds, as they can move ever so slightly within their setting.
3. Upkeep and maintenance: The intricate design of halo, accented or shoulder set rings can make maintenance and cleaning slightly more challenging compared to a simple solitaire setting. Small stones can trap dirt and debris more easily, requiring professional regular cleaning. It's important to factor in the additional time and cost involved in maintaining the ring's sparkle and brilliance.The small diamonds may also require regular maintenance and tightening to ensure they stay securely in place. It's essential to have the ring inspected periodically to address any potential issues proactively. Ethica offers a not for profit ring maintenance service helping you keep your bridal set rings in perfect condition.
Why should I choose a bridal set?
Matching design: Bridal sets are specifically designed to be worn together, with the engagement ring and wedding band complementing each other in style and design.
Perfect fit: Bridal sets are usually sold as a set, meaning that the rings are already designed to fit together perfectly. This eliminates the need for resizing individual rings or searching for a matching wedding band later on.
Enhances the engagement ring: The wedding band in a bridal set is designed to enhance the beauty of the engagement ring. It can feature additional diamonds or gemstones that complement the centre stone of the engagement ring, creating a stunning and eye-catching look.
Saves time and money: Buying a bridal set can be more cost-effective than purchasing an engagement ring and wedding band separately. Ethica offers an incentive for wedding bands and engagement rings that are purchased together.
Timeless and classic style: Bridal sets often feature timeless and classic designs that never go out of style. This means that your bridal set will still look elegant and fashionable years down the line.
Do your lab diamond bridal ring sets come in different metal types?
Absolutely! At Ethica Diamonds, we understand that every bride has a unique style preference, and we offer a variety of beautiful and durable metals to perfectly complement your lab diamond:
18k White Gold: This classic choice provides a timeless and elegant look. White gold pairs perfectly with the brilliance of lab grown diamonds.
18k Yellow Gold: This warm and inviting metal adds a touch of vintage charm to your bridal set.
18k Rose Gold: This romantic and on-trend metal offers a soft, rosy hue that flatters many skin tones.
950 Platinum: The strongest and most hypoallergenic metal option, platinum offers a luxurious and secure setting for your lab diamonds.
Our Commitment to Sustainability: We go beyond simply offering a variety of choices. All our metal is 100% recycled, Fairtrade certified, or otherwise sustainably sourced. This aligns with our commitment to ethical and environmentally responsible practices.
Choosing the Right Metal: Consider your personal style, budget, and desired ring durability. For a truly cohesive look, opting for a matching bridal set ensures that your engagement ring and wedding band are made from materials of similar durability (e.g., same metal and stone type). This helps prevent uneven wear and tear over time, protecting the integrity and beauty of both rings.
To help you visualize the perfect metal for your bridal set, we recommend visiting our website's Metal Buying Guide, which offers detailed information and helpful visuals to guide your decision.
How can I find the right size for my bridal ring set?
Figuring out a ring size can be tricky, whether it's for yourself or a surprise proposal! Here at Ethica Diamonds, we've got you covered with a variety of tools and tips:
Finding Your Perfect Fit:
Visit a Jeweller: This remains the most accurate method. A professional jeweller can measure your finger and recommend the ideal size for a comfortable and secure fit.
At-Home Sizing Options:
Complimentary Ring Sizer: We offer a free ring sizer you can request on our website. It will arrive within 5-7 business days (UK only).
Printable Ring Size Guide: Download our handy size chart that converts UK sizes to US, European sizes, and millimetres. It also includes a printable ring sizer that you can use to measure existing rings (ensure correct print scaling!).
Things to Consider for Accurate Sizing:
Dominant Hand: Generally slightly larger, so measure the correct finger on the correct hand you plan to wear the ring on.
Band Width: Wider bands may fit a bit tighter. If measuring a partner's ring, choose one with a similar width to the ring you intend to purchase.
Finger Temperature: Measure when your fingers are at normal body temperature, as they can shrink or expand with hot or cold.
Time of Day: Fingers fluctuate in size throughout the day. Ideally, measure in the afternoon, but experiment at different times to find your personal sweet spot.
Knuckle Size: If your knuckle is bigger, take two measurements and choose a size in between. The ring needs to fit over your knuckle comfortably without being loose and spinning.
Planning a Surprise Proposal?
We have additional tips to help you determine your partner's ring size without them knowing. Check out our "How to Find Your Partner's Ring Size" blog on our website.
Creative Ring Size Detective Work:
Recruit a Friend: Ask a close friend or relative to casually take your partner ring shopping. They might be able to subtly discover the ring size and even their preferred style!
The Art of Deception: If your partner wears rings already, discreetly bring one to us for measurement during an appointment. Just make sure you know which finger they wear it on. Alternatively, draw the ring's inner and outer diameter on a piece of paper to keep the ring at home.
The Lookalike Method: Does your partner have someone with similar hand size (sister, mum, friend)? This can be a rough estimate. Alternatively, try a ring they wear on another finger to see how it fits yours. We can then use our sizing rings to estimate their actual ring finger size on the left hand.
General Size Guidelines (approximate):
- Very small hands: G, H, I (UK size)
- Small to medium hands: J, K (UK size)
- Medium hands: L, M (UK size)
- Larger hands: N, O, P (UK size)
- Very large hands: Q and above (UK size)pen_spark
Complimentary Resizing & Additional Tips:
Ethica Diamonds offers a complimentary one-time resize on all engagement rings (within 30 days of purchase and for UK customers only). This applies as long as the resize falls within the jeweller's recommended range.
Generally, resizing most rings is possible unless the band is entirely set with diamonds. If unsure about the ring size before purchase, consider a design with a plain band, which offers more resizing flexibility (up to +/- 3 sizes).
