Hi,
I am planning to get an engagement ring with budget around 7k. Totally newbie here but i am aware of the 4Cs.
I think i am more inclined to pick lab grown diamond, its more environmentally friendly i guess and i only have about 1 month time.
With this budget, whats the standard of lab grown diamond i can expect?
I also planning to get a temporary ring setting, i am not good on picking the aesthetically good ring design...

IGI graded 1 carat, non fluorescence, D colour VS/VVS should be within your budget. You might be able to get GIA graded lab grown as well, but not all vendors carry that.

Your challenge here is 1 month. The budget I listed here is for purchases from overseas, which can take up to 3 weeks. Luckily since you opt for temporary ring setting, then Ritani seems like a good choice because the loose diamond comes with the temporary ring setting and a standard typical ring box with their branding.

You can try Roman and Co, I think they have ready stones:

Appreciate your feedback! I decided to go for Zcova lab grown diamond since they are located at Klang Valley area and they provide a decent looking temporary ring setting. They also running a 18% discount promotion.

I have met the consultant and was surprised that I still have to pick for the lab grown diamond. Would like you to give some comments on the following 3 diamonds that i have selected purely base on the symmetry.

I think the defects were more obvious on mined diamonds... Are the image not really important for lab grown diamonds?

All are not bad, but I will pick the 1.11ct personally. It is D colour and has good proportions.
