A FRESH TAKE ON ENGAGEMENT RING SHOPPING

ENGAGEMENT MEETS EDUCATION

ENGAGEMENT MEETS EDUCATION

Shopping for your engagement ring can feel overwhelming and confusing, especially when navigating an industry notorious for its lack of transparency. Without straightforward, honest education and advice, it’s easy to purchase something that ends up not meeting your expectations (read: bending, snapping, or falling apart after just a few years).

That’s why we’re flipping the script and putting the power back in your hands by uncovering everything you need to know, look for, and be aware of when making one of the most exciting purchases of your life.

Because an informed consumer is an empowered consumer, and there’s nothing we love more than empowering couples to make a choice they’re proud of.

Unlike mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are an incredible option for anyone looking to limit their impact on the environment and save money without sacrificing quality. Unfortunately, there’s a ton of misinformation surrounding lab-grown diamonds and very few resources sharing the facts. We’re breaking down what’s true, what’s false, and everything you need to know before investing in one of our beautiful, sustainably-made lab-grown diamonds.

How we curate our diamonds

Simply put, Hera’s lab grown diamonds are the best of the best. Our experts hand-select each diamond we use, and roughly 90% of lab diamonds on the market do not meet our standards. We’re this picky because it’s almost impossible to tell the quality of a diamond from the certificate alone, especially for the average person. That’s why we recommend working with experts like us instead of flying solo. When you work with Hera, you can make sure you’re getting the absolute best value for your money.

MOISSANITE
This stone is both absolutely gorgeous and incredibly durable—though it has its limitations. Because so few jewelers talk about moissanite as a great budget-friendly option for engagement rings, it can be hard to decipher fact from fiction. But that’s precisely what we’re here to do! We’re telling you everything you need to know about this lab-grown, colorless stone that won’t break the bank so you can make an informed decision you feel really good about.

Durability

Engagement rings are unique because they’re typically the only piece of jewelry you’ll wear on your hand every single day. And because our hands receive the greatest level of wear and tear—hand washing, working, simply living our lives—your engagement ring needs to be durable enough to not only withstand that wear but to look incredible for decades to come (especially if you’re passing it down as an heirloom). Rings that aren’t durable or built to last typically end up in a drawer or only worn on special occasions—which is a sad way to celebrate your story. We’re here to make sure you know exactly what to look for when finding your forever ring so that it doesn’t end up hidden away somewhere (ps: all of our rings are built to last and durable enough for daily wear, that’s a promise!).

Colored
Gemstones
We offer a wide variety of lab-grown colored gemstones that are a really great option if you’re interested in something alternative and non-traditional. Not only are they absolutely gorgeous, each of our colored gemstones are durable enough for daily wear, making them the perfect option for your engagement ring.

STONE & FINGER SIZE REFERENCE LIBRARY

We understand that shopping for your engagement ring online can be a tricky process—especially when you can’t try it on. That’s why we’re constantly building our collection of reference images to help you visualize exactly what our rings would look like on a hand with your ring size. It’s as close to trying it on as it gets so that when it’s finally slipped on your finger, there are no surprises.

As someone who doesn't wear a lot of jewelry and is VERY particular, I can honestly say that this ring is beyond my wildest dreams. Her top tier craftsmanship truly shows in the work she produces. 1 million percent would recommend working with them for your jewelry needs.

Working with Lauren couldn't have been easier or more fun. She taught us about how to make rings more durable so that they could last a while without needing maintenance. I am totally obsessed with my ring, it gets a ton of compliments, and I just couldn't recommend working with Lauren enough!!!

Anushka Gupta

Some positives: quick responses, very informative, payment plans available, LGBTQ+ friendly, and so FUN! I was a little stressed about making such a large and important purchase but Lauren made the whole process fun and exciting!
