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 center stones are selected to an elevated standard: D–F color, VVS clarity, excellent cut quality, and IGI certification.
Each center stone is set in a fine jewelry design crafted to feel timeless and beautifully finished. Many settings feature natural full-cut diamond side stones and accents, adding dimension, light, and brilliance around the center stone.
The result brings together modern diamond innovation with the details and craftsmanship of traditional fine jewelry.
An elevated lab-grown diamond, chosen with intention.
Not all lab-grown diamonds are the same. For Landing Company engagement rings, our center stones are selected for exceptional beauty and quality: colorless appearance, high clarity, excellent cut quality, and beautiful presence on the hand. They are chosen not simply 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: pavé bands, hidden halos, and side stone details that frame the center stone and bring extra brilliance to the ring.
Full-cut diamonds feature traditional diamond faceting designed to create lively brilliance and scintillation. It is a small detail with a noticeable effect, bringing a more refined finish to the setting.
Understanding diamond quality.
Cut, color, clarity, and carat weight are the four characteristics traditionally used to understand and compare diamonds. They apply to both natural and lab-grown diamonds, but they are only the beginning. A diamond should also be considered for 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–F range, the highest colorless grades.
Clarity
Beautifully clear to the eye.
Selected in VVS clarity, for 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. It is the quality we weigh most heavily when selecting a center stone.
Color
Diamond color measures how colorless a diamond appears. The D–F range is the highest colorless grade, giving the ring a bright, clean, elevated look that pairs beautifully with 14K yellow gold, white gold, and diamond-accented settings. Colorless grades allow the character of the diamond, and the design surrounding it, to take center stage.
Clarity
Clarity refers to the internal and external characteristics of a diamond. Our lab-grown center stones are selected in VVS clarity, a high clarity range in which inclusions are extremely difficult to see under 10× magnification. The result is a beautifully clean 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, and distinctly ours.
Beautiful diamonds with a modern point of view.
Choosing a lab-grown center stone offers a modern approach to fine diamond jewelry. Rather than being mined from the earth, a lab-grown diamond is created through advanced technology while possessing essentially the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as a natural diamond.
At Landing Company, we believe luxury should feel beautiful, honest, and considered. That means being clear about what you are choosing: a laboratory-grown center stone selected to our elevated quality standard, accompanied by IGI certification, and complemented in many designs by natural full-cut diamond accents.
We also believe in avoiding vague environmental claims. Lab-grown diamonds still require energy to produce, and every piece of fine jewelry has an impact. Our approach is simple: be transparent about the materials we use and thoughtful about the choices we make.
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 offer a modern approach, combining advanced innovation with clearly disclosed laboratory-grown origin and the opportunity to consider elevated specifications and size.
For this engagement collection, Landing Company pairs carefully selected lab-grown center stones with settings that may include natural full-cut diamond accents. Together, they create a ring that brings modern diamond innovation into the traditions of fine jewelry.
