tips
the perfect ring
Choosing a diamond engagement ring is a special moment. Naturally, for this occasion, you are looking for a ring that is both timeless and enchanting, and that perfectly suits her. At Martin van Dalen Juwelier, they are happy to offer you personal advice to help you find that one ring she will say 'I do' to. Before you visit, keep the following things in mind:
Tip 1: Determine her style
Is your future fiancée a classic or more modern type? If she loves simple, elegant rings, then a solitaire with 1 diamond might be the perfect ring for her. Does she love more sparkle? Then an entourage ring might be just right for her. Consider in advance which rings would suit her and which ones you would like to look at during your appointment.
Tip 2: White or yellow gold?
All Aurore engagement rings are available in both white and yellow gold. Yellow gold provides a warmer look, while white gold gives the piece more sparkle.
Tip 3: Price range
There really is a diamond engagement ring for every budget, so determine the price range you want to look in beforehand. Did you know that lab-grown diamonds offer a price advantage of 20-60% compared to mined diamonds? This allows you to choose an engagement ring with larger diamonds for the same budget.
Tip 4: Ring sizes
If you know your girlfriend's ring size or can secretly bring one of her rings along, that's a plus. But you can still choose an engagement ring even if you don't know her size. The proposal is then done with an average ring size, and Martin van Dalen Juwelier ensures that the ring is exchanged for a perfectly fitting engagement ring after the proposal.
Tip 5: Plan your visit
Take a look at the collection and options online and book an appointment at Martin van Dalen Juwelier for personal advice. When booking the appointment, you can already share your wishes so that a suitable collection is available during your store visit.
Why choose lab-grown diamond engagement rings
At Aurore Jewelry, we are the first jewelry brand in the Netherlands to work exclusively with sustainable lab-grown diamonds. In terms of optics, quality, aesthetics, and (chemical) properties, diamonds from a mine and those from a laboratory are exactly the same. The difference cannot be detected with the naked eye or even with a microscope. By consciously choosing sustainable materials, we design jewelry that shines not only on the outside but also from within. Discover the benefits of lab-grown diamonds.
⟐ 100% real diamond ⟐
The hardness and brilliant sparkle of a diamond are unparalleled! All Aurore diamonds are 100% diamond and of high quality (at least Top Wesselton, SI-1). Your Aurore piece of jewelry also comes with an Aurore Jewelry diamond certificate, and you receive a two-year warranty.
⟐ A more sustainable choice ⟐
Aurore diamonds are sustainable mine-free diamonds.
This means that no nature-destroying excavations are necessary and no people work in mines for our diamonds. Furthermore, we work exclusively with 18kt recycled gold.
⟐ Price advantage ⟐
Lab-grown diamonds are 20 - 60% more affordable than natural diamonds!
Matching wedding rings
Once your girlfriend has said 'yes', you will likely start looking for a set of matching gold wedding rings. It is therefore wise to keep this in mind when choosing the engagement ring. We have designed our engagement rings to combine perfectly and seamlessly with both plain and diamond wedding rings.
Furthermore, we have beautiful wedding rings made from 18kt recycled gold for him and her in our collection.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. They are chemically, optically, and physically identical to natural diamonds. Only the origin differs.
No, you won't see a difference if you place the diamonds side by side. Even a jeweler cannot distinguish a lab-grown diamond from a natural diamond with the naked eye or a loupe. This requires specialized measuring equipment and certification.
That depends on where you buy the diamonds. Just like natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds can be graded by independent institutes such as the IGI. At Aurore Jewelry, all diamonds are supplied with a diamond certificate. Diamonds of 0.50 ct. and larger are supplied with an official IGI certificate.
As with natural diamonds, the value is determined by various factors, including quality, demand, and market conditions. Consequently, future value trends are difficult to predict in advance. You buy diamond jewelry primarily for its emotional value, the craftsmanship, and the memories it represents.
