Trending Styles: Marquise Cuts, Cross Pendants & Beyond

Classic shapes are getting modern upgrades. The marquise diamond, with its elongated "boat" shape, is back in vogue for engagement and fashion rings. Future Jewelry's own Marquise collections showcase this beautifully.

Cross necklaces are another example of an age-old motif with a lab-grown twist. Many jewelers now offer cross pendants set with lab diamonds to blend faith with modern fashion; see our lab-grown diamond necklaces. Future Jewelry's Lab Grown Diamond Cross Pendant Necklace (10K white gold, 0.25-1.00 cttw) is a prime example , sparkling round lab diamonds form a balanced cross that symbolizes love and protection.

Beyond marquise and crosses, alternative cuts and styles are trending too. Rose-gold and hidden-halo settings, heart-shaped gems, and custom designs are hot. At Future Jewelry, each 3-carat lab-grown ring is a statement , set in solid gold and designed to make a lasting impression. Collections range from bold solitaire ovals to delicate pave bands, even colored lab diamonds (pink, yellow) for those seeking something unique. Every diamond is IGI-certified.

Price & Value: How Much Bling for Your Buck?

One of the biggest questions buyers ask is, "Are lab-grown diamonds worth it?" The answer: absolutely. The Knot says lab-grown diamonds can cost 50% to 70% less than natural stones, and CNBC reported that in early 2025 a 1-carat lab-grown diamond cost about $845, versus about $3,895 for a similar natural diamond. That's an enormous saving: you can go much bigger for your budget. Future Jewelry's 3-carat lab-grown center-stone rings start around the mid-$5,000 range, and 4-carat custom pieces are also available.

Jewelers of America told CNBC that lab-grown diamonds do not hold their value and will likely sell for less than what you paid, and the secondary market for them is still small, so treat them as jewelry to wear, not investment assets. You get the same stunning sparkle and durability for far less up front. If you're looking for the best lab grown diamond company, it depends on what you value: cut, design, price, or origin. Future Jewelry offers top-tier IGI-certified diamonds (E-H color, VS clarity) paired with solid-gold craftsmanship.
