GUIDE · PRICES

How much does an engagement ring cost in Switzerland?

An engagement ring can cost from just over a thousand francs to many tens of thousands: what decides the price is above all the diamond and the metal.

In this guide we explain what matters, with the real prices of our rings, made by hand in our atelier in Balerna, Ticino.

THE DIAMOND

Carat, cut, colour and clarity

The price of a diamond depends on four qualities that GIA calls the 4Cs: carat weight, cut, colour and clarity. Carat weight is what moves the price the most.

Then there is the origin: a laboratory-grown diamond costs much less than a natural diamond of the same weight. With us, a 0.50 ct solitaire starts at CHF 1’790 with a lab-grown diamond and at CHF 3’590 with a natural diamond.

Engagement rings

THE METAL

18 carat gold or platinum

Our rings are made in 18 kt gold (750/1000), white, yellow or rose; some models also in platinum. The metal affects the price less than the diamond, but it changes the colour and the weight of the ring.

In the atelier we show you the models and the metals side by side.

The questions we are asked most often about the price of an engagement ring. For the difference between the two origins, read our guide lab-grown or natural diamond.

PRICES

Our solitaires start at CHF 1’790 with a 0.50 ct lab-grown diamond and at CHF 3’590 with a natural diamond. The final price depends on carat, cut, colour, clarity and metal.

Because it grows in a laboratory in a few weeks, instead of over billions of years underground. It is a real diamond, but easier to produce.
