Maybe they just bought an engagement ring with a center stone, or maybe they added a diamond to an existing ring setting. Either way, the fact remains the same. The sparkling stone is a real diamond, but it didn\u2019t cost as much as they thought it would. What\u2019s going on? The answer: lab-grown diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lab-grown diamonds are increasingly popular for several reasons. At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/\">Shane Co.<\/a>, we\u2019re proud to offer lab-grown diamonds for pendants and rings, as well as stud earrings.
