1. Conflict-Free Natural Diamonds: Best Overall Stone
Lucce Lumiére™ Natural Diamonds
Natural diamonds have withstood the test of time as the world's #1 stone of choice for engagement rings. Its iconic brilliance is well-loved, just like its quality as the hardest material on Earth—a meaningful stone choice for the forever symbol of your love's promise.
Among the world's best-quality diamonds, Lucce only handpicks ethically sourced stones—free from irresponsible mining and harmful labor conditions—in its Lumiére™ diamond line. Through Forevermark and CanadaMark certifications, choosing an eco-conscious diamond engagement ring stone is made easy.
What We Love:
- Diamonds are the #1 stone choice for engagement rings
- Lucce Lumiére™ Natural Diamonds are mined responsibly—guaranteed by Forevermark and CanadaMark
- Good quality diamonds are known to hold their value throughout history
2. Lab Diamonds: Best Value Stone
Lucce Lavish™ Lab-Grown Diamonds
A common misconception about lab diamonds is that they are a diamond alternative. In reality, this cultured stone is a diamond, only made in a laboratory instead of the Earth's mantle. Aside from its iconic brilliance, the best thing about lab-grown diamonds is their great value. This allows for a better quality stone (cut, color, clarity, and carat-wise) for the same budget, compared to natural diamonds.
What We Love:
- Physically, chemically, and optically, the same as mined diamonds
- Ethically made in laboratories
- Allows better quality for the same budget
3. Premium Moissanite: Best Diamond Alternative Stone
ForeverONE and SUPERNOVA Moissanite
Moissanite's key characteristic is its title as the world's most brilliant gemstone. Known for its rainbow-like sparkle, a moissanite stone gives off a unique shine to your engagement ring. It is grown in a lab, making it an ethical choice for your love's timeless symbol.
Moissanite is available in similar shapes and carat sizes as diamonds, allowing multiple options to make your dream engagement ring a reality. As Charles & Colvard and Moissanite International's official partner in the Philippines, Lucce brings the world's best moissanite stones as your engagement ring's symbol.
What We Love:
- Outstanding brilliance
- Ethically made in laboratories
- Lucce is Charles & Colvard's and Moissanite International's official partner in the Philippines
