Landing Company Guide to Diamonds
Choose the diamond that feels right for your forever.
Elevated diamonds, beautifully chosen.
A diamond engagement ring should feel personal, brilliant, and worthy of the moment.
At Landing Company, our engagement rings are designed around exceptional diamond beauty, refined craftsmanship, and meaningful choice. Our lab-grown diamond center stones are selected for elevated quality — D, E, or F color, VVS clarity, excellent cut quality, and IGI certification.
Each center stone is set in a fine jewelry design crafted to feel timeless, polished, and easy to love for a lifetime. Many of our engagement ring settings are finished with natural full-cut diamond side stones or natural diamond accents, adding dimension, light, and brilliance around the center stone.
The result is a ring that brings together modern diamond innovation and traditional fine jewelry detail.
A better lab diamond, chosen with intention.
Not all lab-grown diamonds are the same. For Landing Company engagement rings, our lab-grown center stones are selected for exceptional beauty and quality — bright white color, high clarity, excellent cut, and strong presence on the hand. These are elevated lab-grown diamonds, chosen not just because they are lab-grown, but because they are beautiful diamonds.

The details matter.
While our center stones in this collection are lab-grown diamonds, many of our settings feature natural full-cut diamond side stones and accents — in pavé bands, hidden halos, and side stone details that frame the center stone and bring extra brilliance to the ring.
Full-cut diamonds offer more facets than single-cut melee, giving the setting a brighter, more refined sparkle. It is one of the details that helps the ring feel elevated rather than ordinary.
Understanding diamond quality.
Cut, color, clarity, and carat weight are the traditional way to understand diamond quality. They apply to both natural and lab-grown diamonds and help you compare stones more clearly. At Landing Company, we believe the 4Cs are only the beginning — a diamond should also be judged by how it catches light, how it appears on the hand, and how beautifully it completes the ring.
Cut
Where brilliance begins.
Our center stones are selected for excellent cut quality — bright, crisp, and full of life.
Color
Bright, colorless, refined.
Selected in the D, E, and F range — the highest colorless grades.
Clarity
Beautifully clear to the eye.
Selected in VVS clarity — a clean, bright, beautiful face-up appearance.
Carat
Size matters, beauty matters more.
The right balance of size, quality, shape, and style on the hand.
Beyond the certificate.
Cut.
Cut is one of the most important qualities in any diamond. It affects how well the diamond reflects light, how bright it appears, and how much sparkle you see when the ring moves. A well-cut diamond feels alive — it catches light easily and looks beautiful in different settings, not just under jewelry-store lighting. Our lab-grown center stones are selected for excellent cut quality and overall beauty, helping each ring feel bright, crisp, and full of life.
Color.
Diamond color measures how colorless a diamond appears. Our lab-grown center stones are selected in the D, E, and F color range — the highest colorless grades. This gives the ring a bright, clean, elevated look that pairs beautifully with 14K yellow gold, white gold, and diamond-accented settings. A colorless center stone also helps the ring feel more refined and more timeless.
Clarity.
Clarity refers to the internal and external characteristics of a diamond. Our lab-grown center stones are selected in VVS clarity, meaning any characteristics are extremely difficult to see under magnification and are not visible in normal wear. For the customer, the benefit is simple: a clean, bright diamond with a beautiful face-up appearance.
Carat Weight.
Carat weight measures how much a diamond weighs — but it does not always tell the full story of how large or beautiful a diamond appears. Shape, cut, proportion, and setting all affect the final look. A beautifully cut oval, pear, emerald, or round diamond can create a very different presence on the hand, even at the same carat weight. We help customers find the balance between size, quality, shape, and style.
The setting shapes the story.
The center stone may catch the eye first, but the setting gives the ring its character. Landing Company engagement rings are crafted with thoughtful proportions, polished metal, and natural diamond accents that add light without overpowering the center stone.
Solitaire
Clean, timeless, and centered entirely on the diamond.
Pavé
Natural full-cut diamonds set along the band for added brilliance.
Hidden Halo
A subtle row of diamonds beneath the center stone, adding sparkle from the side.
Side Stone
Natural diamonds placed beside the center stone for extra presence and balance.
Waveform™
A Landing Company signature inspired by the movement of water. Sculptural, polished, modern.
Beautiful diamonds with a modern point of view.
Choosing a lab-grown center stone is a modern way to approach fine diamond jewelry. Because the center diamond is created above ground rather than mined, it offers a more traceable origin story and a thoughtful alternative to a traditionally mined stone. We believe luxury should feel beautiful, honest, and considered — which means being clear about what you are choosing: a lab-grown center stone, IGI certification, elevated color and clarity, and natural full-cut diamond accents in the setting. It also means avoiding vague claims. Lab-grown diamonds still require energy to create, and every piece has an impact. Our approach is to be transparent, specific, and focused on better choices where they matter.
The right diamond is the one that feels right.
Landing Company offers both natural and lab-grown diamond jewelry. Natural diamonds are valued for rarity, tradition, and the beauty of something formed by the earth over time. Lab-grown diamonds are valued for modern innovation, traceability, and the ability to choose elevated quality and size.
For this engagement collection, our center stones are lab-grown diamonds selected for D–F color, VVS clarity, excellent cut, and IGI certification — with settings that may include natural full-cut diamond accents. Together, they create a ring that feels modern, luxurious, and made for the moment.
