Valour Lab Grown Diamonds

Before I write anything else, it is very important to know one key fact when it comes to Lab Grown Diamonds. Chemically, they are exactly the same as mined diamonds. There are only 2 real differences between the Mined Diamonds and Lab Grown Diamonds is the fact that Mined Diamonds are often associated with conflict, and are about 30-50% more expensive than Lab Grown Diamonds. Secondly, that Lab Grown Diamonds are generally graded more intensely as they tend to be of a higher quality in terms of "clarity". If you are not familiar with diamond grading and evaluations, here is a very quick run down. 1. Diamond size influences most heavily the cost of the diamond, also referred to as "carat" 2. The cut of the diamond will also influence the cost of the diamond, round cuts are known to maximize the "brilliance" aka the shine, of a diamond making round cuts the most sought after and most expensive. 3. The "clarity" indication of imperfections within the diamond from best to worst is: F = flawless, meaning no carbon imperfections, and extremely rare and costly. VVS 1-2 = very very small inclusions, also fairly rare and fairly costly, at this grade any inclusions will not be visible to the naked eye. VS 1-2 = very small, more common than the above grades, any inclusions at this grade will more than likely not be visible to the naked eye, and or very easily hidden under any settings. Further information regarding "clarity" would be a redundancy in regards to Lab Grown Diamonds, as VS is often the lowest grade associated with Lab Grown Diamonds. 4. The "color" of a diamond is indicated by letter grades starting generally from D-Z, D being basically a pure perfect white or regarded as jewelers as colorless, or as close to perfect white as possible. Also making D colored diamonds rare and costly. I have been on the engagement ring market for months, before I found Valour. The most important thing when it comes to engagement ring shopping is to find the best certified, diamond/stone you can find for the best possible price that you can get it at, given the cost of diamonds is hefty. I was looking for an engagement ring to propose to my now fiancee, I called Monil to inquire as to what selections they have for lab grown diamonds, and he had a healthy selection of diamonds for me to come in and look at almost immediately. He was very knowledgeable about diamonds, and was able to provide me with a stone within the parameters of my budget. I was more impressed with the IGI (International Gemological Institute) certification that came with the diamond. It is important to note, that reputability is very important within the diamond industry, and in terms of Lab Grown Diamonds, as the GIA does not grade them, the IGI is generally recognized as the most reputable institution for certification of Lab Grown Diamonds. Monil was extremely professional, and inviting. Even on a tight schedule he was able to get the ring set on a beautiful platinum band, for a very reasonable price. There are many other jewelers that sell Lab Grown Diamonds, however, Valour by far went above and beyond when it came to pricing and availability of diamond selection.

Dealing with Valour was seamless, we were able to chat through Instagram and Monil was super quick and attentive to respond. My ring turned out better than I could have expected, many people have said how flawless it looks. He was quick to make revisions to the rendering and create a beautiful engagement ring that I love wearing! Will definitely (and have) recommend Valour!

Had a great experience with Monil from Valour Lab diamonds. From our initial call, he was friendly, happy to explain/answer all questions, always responsive, and most important, not pushy. First off, buy a diamond wholesale. I spoke with many retail companies, and the profit margins are just way too high. Bigger stores also use pressure tactics, and act phony. You want to work with someone you can trust, and buying an engagement ring should be treated as a personal experience. I was almost convinced by a big retailer diamond store, that what I was getting was a good price for 1.30 carat diamond. But Monil got me a bigger better quality 1.55 carat diamond for half the price with all of the specs I needed. I even looked at diamonds online, but its just way better to see in person, and working with someone one on one is just the way to go for this type of purchase. Even during covid, Monils office was always open. If i wasn't in the office we would corresponded through phone calls, texts, and photos/videos. He felt like my own personal ring designer that I could reach out to at anytime. Monil delivered ahead of time as I was working with a 3 week window. The result was a stunning solitaire oval 1.55 diamond on a gold band. Definitely a show stopper. It was everything and more than what I asked for. When I popped the question, my Fiancés was already overjoyed, but when I opened that little box her eyes really lit up and her jaw dropped. I could see that she more than loved it. She is always looking at it and smiling. She takes pictures of it and sends me photos of showing how happy she is. I know a ring is a ring, and it shouldn't really matter. But trust me gentleman, it matters lol. It is a once in a lifetime occasion and these rings are for life. They do look at them every day. So please, save yourself time and money, go to Monil, he will get you the best for your price range. Do not go to a big retailer, they will over charge you. You can get way more for way less with Monil. Spend the difference on a proposal destination like i did. Make it memorable, and special. Your future wife deserves the best. And you should feel great about your ring choice every day. Lastly, saying that you had a ring custom designed is way cooler, more thoughtful, and personal. Thanks Again Monil for your professionalism, courtesy, honesty, and undeniable skills! We both love the ring, and will be back for our bands.

I purchased an engagement ring from Monil about a month ago and the experience was so efficient and dealing with Monil was very easy! Monil was very detail oriented and provided great suggestions when it came to customizing the ring. I provided Monil with a rough sketch of the ring that I wanted and within a month or so I had the finished product in hand. The quality of the diamond was outstanding along with the price. Mostly importantly, my fiancée loves her ring and we will definitely be coming back for our wedding bands! I have recommend Valour Diamonds to many of my friends! Thanks again Monil!

I purchased diamond earrings for my wife and had a wonderful experience with the team at Valour! They took the time to walk me through all the options and help me find the perfect pair! I look forward to working with them again!

My son was looking for an engagement ring and had very specific size, shape, quality and setting in mind. We shopped around and saw many recommendations for Valour and in particular working with Monil. He did not disappoint. Monil was able to deliver exactly the diamond we were looking for and as well the exact setting. He was easy to deal with and we are most happy with the final product . Price was very competitive as well. Before you make any final decisions, give Monil at Valour a call. It would be more than worth your efforts !!!

The ring was perfect and beautifully well made down to the smallest details! Monil and the Valour team took the time to understand my needs and guide my decision with their expertise. Monil was so helpful to work with, he captured our ideas, gave suggestions, and designed a ring that came out even better than we imagined! I would highly recommend anyone to Valour.

I absolutely love my ring! Monil was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I knew very little about diamonds and he was very kind in teaching me the different aspects of selecting a diamond. He also answered my never-ending questions with great detail and patience. He understood exactly what kind of setting I envisioned and executed it to perfection. They provided updates every step of the way which was very reassuring. Amazing service and very personal. He is absolutely the best!
