Engagement Rings

A laboratory-grown diamond has the same chemical, optical, and physical properties as a mined diamond — it is a real diamond, created in weeks instead of formed over billions of years. Every diamond Gallo sells is lab-grown, and we always say so.

A solitaire keeps all the attention on the center stone. A hidden halo or underhalo adds a ring of small diamonds under the center that you see from the side. A U-prong band sets diamonds partway down the band for more sparkle. Come try them on in our Wayne showroom.

Custom pieces are typically finished in approximately three weeks from final approval of the CAD render. Complex pieces may take longer; we'll give you an exact timeline at your consultation.

The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the International Gemological Institute (IGI) grade diamonds for cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. Diamonds with an IGI or GIA report list the report number; other pieces say Certification: Non-certified. Every loose diamond in our diamond search has an IGI or GIA report, traceable to the issuing laboratory.

Laboratory-grown diamonds share identical chemical, optical, and physical properties to natural diamonds. The only difference is origin: a natural diamond formed over billions of years; a laboratory-grown diamond is created in weeks under the same temperature and pressure conditions. Both are real diamonds.
