The cost of your 3 carat diamond, even if it's lab grown, depends on the four C's: cut, color, clarity, and carat.

Cut quality determines how artfully the diamond cutters shaped your gemstone. A well-cut diamond will reflect lots of light, producing that signature diamond sparkle. Cut is different from shape; a diamond's shape focuses on the qualities of the diamond's exterior. For example, a round brilliant diamond will always be round, but each round diamond reflects light differently. The facets and their placement influence the cut.

Color indicates the purity of your diamond's appearance. A colorless diamond will be more expensive than a diamond with a subtle yellow gold tint. However, fancy colored diamonds can be even more expensive than a colorless diamond of the same size.

Clarity measures your diamond's imperfections. Internal flaws like mineral inclusions decrease the value of your diamond. External blemishes like chips also impact your diamond's clarity grade.

Carat weight is the physical heaviness of your diamond. 1 carat is equal to 0.2 grams.

Celebrate life's important moments with peace of mind by shopping for lab grown 3 carat diamonds. The diamond industry has a long history of corruption and unsafe working conditions. Lab grown diamonds are 100% ethical and are also environmentally responsible. Clean Origin partners with One Tree Planted by pledging to plant one tree for every order of loose diamonds, colored diamonds, engagement rings, or diamond jewelry on our site.

Like lab grown diamonds, engagement rings can vary in cost. Your diamond shape, color, and carat weight impact the price of your diamond ring. The precious metal and intricacy of your ring design can also increase the cost of your diamond ring. Platinum tends to cost more than white, rose, and yellow gold. Pavé diamonds can also increase the cost (and total diamond carat weight) of your diamond ring.

Clean Origin offers a wide variety of 3 carat diamond rings and loose diamond shapes so you can choose the engagement ring that suits you. With our competitive diamond prices for three carat diamonds, you can have a reasonably-priced engagement ring without compromising on a quality diamond.

Design your dream diamond ring by pairing a Clean Origin setting with a lab grown colorless diamond. The most popular shape for diamonds is a round diamond. For a modern 3 carat diamond ring, opt for an oval diamond with an elongated shape. Emerald cut diamonds also add length and vintage elegance to the ring finger, especially with a colored diamond. Our three carat diamond rings come in a variety of engagement ring settings, including yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum. Choosing a lab created diamond can save you money while giving you radiant cuts filled with brilliance.

3 carat diamonds can be many sizes. A diamond's carat isn't a measure of its physical size, but instead measures how much the diamond weighs. A 3 carat diamond will always weigh 0.6 grams. On average, 3 carat diamonds have a diameter of a little less than a centimeter, which is similar to the size of your index finger's thumbnail.

A three carat diamond ring is an ideal carat weight for almost any engagement ring. This diamond carat weight works beautifully with any diamond shape, from round diamonds to princess cut diamonds. A three carat diamond appears prominent on the hand to the naked eye without adding bulk like a significant carat weight would.

A 3 carat yellow diamond will likely be more expensive than a 3 carat diamond in the colorless range. Colored diamonds are incredibly rare in diamond mining, which is why a lab grown colored diamond is a wonderful alternative. A lab grown colored diamond will likely be 20-30% less expensive than a mined diamond with the exact same characteristics. With a lab grown yellow diamond, you can save on cost without compromising quality.

While oval shapes are quite popular for engagement rings, other shapes should be considered too. The great thing about a 3 carat diamond is that it is versatile. If you're looking for an impressive impact on your engagement ring consider fancy shapes such as a princess cut, pear cut, or even a stunning marquise diamond cut.
