The Rise of “Lab Diamonds” & Custom Combo Rings—What Brides Really Want in 2025 💎✨

Lab-grown diamonds and mix-and-match custom settings are making waves in bridal jewelry! Brides on Reddit want to know how to get big, sparkly rings without breaking the bank or feeling judged for picking lab stones—and they’re loving unique combos, such as blending colored gemstones with diamonds.​

Want a statement ring that fits your budget? Most local jewelers now offer lab diamond options, which means you can go bigger, try trending cuts (oval, marquise, chunky bezel!) and even pair sapphire with diamond for a custom look. Don’t be afraid to bring screenshots and bold ideas—designers are seeing requests for split-shank bands, asymmetrical “toi et moi” settings, and colored accent stones as the hottest styles of the year.​

Tips:

• Get sketches or CAD previews before you commit.

• Ask about payment plans.

• Don't settle for basic—your dream combo may just be the next big trend.
