Lab Diamond Selection at Jared

Jared publishes lab-grown diamond engagement rings, wedding bands and fashion jewelry, including collections it lists as exclusive or designer-branded. According to the retailer, lab-grown diamonds come with independent grading reports. Check the report on the specific stone.

The loose lab diamond search is less extensive than at online specialists, so buyers with a very specific specification may find fewer matches.

Pricing: How to Compare

Jared's prices are often higher than online-only retailers, partly because you are paying for the store experience and the brand. The retailer runs promotions from time to time, so check its site for current offers.

Compare the same specification (carat, color, clarity, cut, certificate) at James Allen, Brilliant Earth and Clean Origin to see the real difference for your stone.
