The world has been gravitating towards the “bigger is better” concept for many years especially when it comes to engagement rings, and this post touches on how 3 carat diamond rings have become popular and why the natural versus lab grown diamond debate is so important.

First and foremost, interest in big diamond rings has skyrocketed in recent years for a variety of reasons ranging from the most iconic movies/shows depicting them – like Sex and the City when Mr. Big finally proposed to Carrie with a huge black diamond ring – to diamonds grown in labs that drastically drop the price while still maintaining the exact same quality.

Today, we see a trend where people in love are gravitating more towards larger, lab-grown diamond engagement/wedding rings as opposed to going the natural route and believe that will continue in the future.

Below are some of the most common questions we get around 3 carat engagement rings:

Is 3 Carats Too Big for an Engagement Ring?
It all depends on your personal preference/style as well as the color diamond (black, blue, white, etc.) along with the cut (round, cushion, princess, marquise) you choose.

How Much Does a 3 Carat Engagement Ring Cost?
The cost of a 3 carat engagement ring is heavily dependent on the diamonds you choose – for example a lab grown vs natural diamond – and the cost is based on a variety of factors (clarity, color, etc.).
