How Much Does a Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Ring Cost in Dubai?

Lab-grown diamonds have changed what an engagement ring budget can buy. For the price of a modest natural diamond, couples in Dubai now choose 2, 3 or 4 carat centre stones, and more and more go for 7 carats and above. Below are the price ranges you can find in our current offer prices, and what makes one ring cost more than another.

Lab-grown diamond engagement ring prices in Dubai

In BYORO's current offer prices you can find rings in 18K gold with certified lab-grown diamonds in these ranges (AED, September 2026). Carat refers to the total diamond weight of the ring.

• Around 1 ct: from about AED 2,800 to 3,300
• 1.5 ct: about AED 3,850 to 4,300
• 2 to 2.5 ct: about AED 4,400 to 6,200
• 3 ct: about AED 5,950 to 8,000
• 4 ct and above: about AED 6,300 to 13,500, depending on shape, design and side stones

A natural diamond of the same size and quality usually costs many times more, which is why lab-grown diamonds have become the most popular choice for engagement rings in Dubai.

What affects the price

Carat. The biggest factor. Price rises with size, and there are noticeable jumps at 1, 2 and 3 carats.

Colour. Most lab-grown diamonds come in the colourless D, E and F grades; G–H and lower are much rarer. There is a significant price difference between a D and an E or F stone, even though the difference is very hard to see once the diamond is set.

Clarity. Clarity also moves the price. At BYORO our standard, and what we recommend as the best balance of beauty and value, is E colour, VVS2 clarity: icy white and clean under magnification, without paying the premium for D or flawless grades.

Shape. Round brilliants are usually the most expensive per carat. Oval, pear, marquise and emerald cuts look larger for the same weight and often give more size for the budget.

Setting. A simple solitaire is the most affordable. Hidden halos, pavé bands and three-stone designs add small diamonds and craftsmanship, and therefore cost.

Gold. All BYORO rings are in 18K gold. Heavier, wider bands use more gold and cost more.

How to get the best value

• Choose the shape first. An oval or pear of the same carat looks noticeably bigger than a round.
  
• Go for E VVS2 rather than D: you will not see the difference in the ring, but you will see it in the price.
• Always ask for an independent certificate, such as IGI, for the centre stone.
• See the stone in person. Photos never show sparkle properly.
