Do you remember the moment you proposed? Maybe it was right out of college, or perhaps a little further down the road. The way you looked into her eyes, filled with love and hope, waiting for her to say that life-changing ‘yes’ – a single word that started a new chapter for both of you.
That proposal, with all the emotions and dreams it held, will always be unforgettable. But maybe back then, getting her dream ring wasn’t a possibility. And yet, the joy of that moment was never diminished. Now, as you look back on the life you’ve built together, you might be thinking of ways to celebrate this beautiful journey. And what better way than by leveling up her engagement ring to that dream 3 ct. size – a meaningful tribute to the love that’s grown over the years.
Upgrade to The Dream 3 ct. Ring She Deserves
Every love story is unique, evolving as time goes by. As you go through new seasons together – like discovering new interests, celebrating anniversaries, or even welcoming children – upgrading your ring can be a beautiful way to honor the growth of your relationship. This upgrade can symbolize the depth of your bond, as well as the journey you’ve taken together.
An upgrade doesn’t mean parting with your original ring. Instead, it allows you to turn it into a cherished heirloom, a piece you might one day pass down to children. It holds countless beautiful memories, making it absolutely priceless. It’s a beautiful way to celebrate how far you’ve come while also looking forward to the future.
Why Choose a 3 Ct. Lab Diamond Ring?
A 3 ct. ring makes a statement. While the average engagement ring is around 1.2 carats, upgrading to a 3 ct. ring truly sets it apart. According to Angara’s latest ‘Engagement Trend Report‘ nearly half of Gen Zers pick a larger lab diamond over a smaller mined one. Of those with a size preference, 52 percent would gladly choose a 3-carat lab-grown diamond over a 1-carat natural diamond.
Why Level Up With Lab Diamond
Here are all the reasons why you should upgrade to a lab-grown diamond ring.
1. Lab vs. Natural Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds. The only difference? Lab-grown diamonds are created in a controlled environment rather than in the earth. They look the same to the naked eye, and only a gemologist can tell the difference.
2. Affordability
Since lab diamonds are man-made, they are produced faster and are not affected by the cost of mining, labor or transportation. Hence, lab-grown diamonds can be up to 80% less expensive than natural diamonds. A recent survey showed that 40% of women want an affordable engagement ring, valuing it over the size. With lab diamonds for engagement rings, you don’t have to choose between size and budget – you can get her dream ring at a size she wants, and at a price she’ll love.
At Angara, you’ll find affordable 3-carat diamond rings starting at just $3,000, compared to a natural diamond of similar specs, which can cost around $30,000.
3. Sparkle
A larger carat size provides a bigger surface area for light to reflect, enhancing the sparkle of the diamond. However, the cut also plays a major role in maximizing the brilliance. Round brilliant diamonds are the most popular choice because they have exceptional brilliance and sparkle, followed by a cushion cut, which is a cross between a princess cut and a round brilliant cut.
At Angara, our diamonds are cut for maximum sparkle, ensuring you’re getting a ring that shines as brightly as your love.
4. Sustainability
Lab-grown diamonds are also an eco-friendly choice, as they require less water and emit a fraction of carbon (4.8 percent approx.) compared to mined diamonds. With our sustainable 3-carat lab-grown diamond rings, you get a diamond that’s not only brilliant but also eco-friendly.

Things to Keep in Mind When Upgrading Your Ring
1. Setting
The ring setting is essential to the overall look, comfort and style of the ring. The classic six-prong 3-carat lab-grown diamond offers elegance and versatility, while a three-stone setting features a center stone flanked by two smaller stones, symbolizing the couple’s past, present and future together.
Angara offers an extensive lab-grown engagement ring collection, so you can find a ring that tells your unique love story.
2. Add a Personal Touch
Personal touches can make a ring even more meaningful. These elements can be simple, only noticeable to you and your partner, or glamorous and attention-grabbing. Some of these elements include:
- A halo is an element where smaller stones line the outside of the center stone. It represents the strength and support of your relationship, echoing your lifetime of commitment and endless love.
- A butterfly is an element that symbolizes the growth and transformation of your love and marriage, reflecting the beautiful journey you walk together.
3. Style
To find a ring that your partner will cherish for many years to come, you need to consider their style and find a ring that reflects that. If luck is on your side, she probably has hinted at her dream ring, narrowing your search. Here are some popular ring styles and how they can reflect your partner’s taste:
- An oval cut has an elongated shape, reflecting confidence and elegance. It is a mix of classic and modern aesthetics, making it a perfect style for someone who loves to express their personality.
