Rareva 14K yellow gold lab grown diamond tennis bracelet

The question behind most Christmas jewelry searches is not which piece but how much. This guide answers it by budget. Every price is a starting price for a piece made to order in New York with lab-grown diamonds, rubies and emeralds from our own reactors; the higher diamond quality option costs a little more. Shipping is free and insured on every order, with no minimum.

What stays the same at every price

The stones. A $160 pair of silver studs carries the same lab-grown diamonds as the $440 pair in 14K gold; only the metal changes. Every diamond of 1 carat and above comes with its IGI certificate, so stud pairs of 2 carats total weight or more are certified; smaller stones, including every accent and pave diamond, are not individually certified. Every ruby, emerald and sapphire is lab grown.

If you do not know a size

Earrings, pendants and necklaces fit everyone, and a bolo bracelet adjusts. For a ring, resizing is free within 30 days of delivery, so a guessed size costs a week, not the gift.
