Our lab grown emerald engagement rings offer something that natural emeralds rarely can: exceptional clarity, vivid colour, and striking beauty — at a price that reflects genuine value rather than geological rarity. Here's the truth about emeralds that most jewellers won't tell you: natural emeralds are almost always heavily included, with internal fractures and cloudiness that require treatment to mask. Lab grown emeralds, by contrast, are chemically and optically identical to their natural counterparts but grown under controlled conditions that result in a cleaner, more visually stunning stone.

Every ring in this collection is handcrafted to order in our London studio using 100% recycled precious metals, and designed with the same sculptural sensibility that defines Nude Jewellery.

Why Lab Grown Emeralds Are Often the Better Choice

• Cleaner stones: Fewer inclusions means more brilliance and a more vivid, saturated green — often more beautiful than a natural stone at the same price point
• Significantly better value: You get a larger, cleaner stone for your budget compared to natural emeralds of equivalent quality
• Identical composition: Lab grown emeralds are real emeralds — the same mineral (beryl), the same hardness (7.5–8 on the Mohs scale), the same optical properties
• Ethical provenance: No mining impact, fully traceable, and aligned with our commitment to responsible sourcing

Handcrafted Settings for a Remarkable Stone

The deep, forest green of a lab grown emerald pairs beautifully with the warmth of 18ct yellow gold or the cool precision of platinum. Our designs range from architectural solitaires that let the stone speak for itself, to sculptural multi-stone settings that frame the emerald with diamonds or contrasting gems. Each piece is made to order and finished by hand in our London studio.

If you have a specific design in mind, our Bespoke Commission service can help you create something entirely your own. Or explore our wider range of coloured gemstone engagement rings for more alternative options.
