Welcome to the LAMOR&CO Journal

The LAMOR&CO Journal shares clear guidance on lab-grown diamond engagement rings, personal design, craftsmanship, and care.

Practical guidance for choosing a ring

An engagement ring is a combination of decisions rather than a single specification. The Journal looks at questions that often come up when comparing center-diamond shapes, carat weight, face-up appearance, gold choices, setting profiles, ring sizing, and the way an engagement ring works with a wedding band.

Some articles focus on the diamond itself, while others look at the finished ring from a bench perspective. The goal is to help you understand the details shown on a product page and know which questions are worth asking before a made-to-order ring is produced.

Use the grading report and the ring together

A grading report can document important characteristics of the center diamond, including shape, measurements, carat weight, color, and clarity. It does not describe every design decision in the finished ring. The setting, metal, band width, prongs, halo or pavé details, ring size, and overall proportions also influence how the ring looks and wears.

When comparing two designs, review the center-diamond information and the complete ring specifications side by side instead of relying on one grade or one number.

Craftsmanship and everyday wear

The Journal also covers details that are easier to understand when you look beyond the front-facing photograph: how a ring is constructed, how setting style changes the profile, why ring and wedding-band fit matters, and what to consider when choosing between 14K and 18K gold. These are practical choices that affect the finished piece and everyday wear.
