Jewelry Under $500 | Lab Grown Diamond and Moissanite

Rings under $500 at Ronora are real solid gold pieces, not plated. The price comes from stone size and setting complexity rather than from cheaper materials, which is the main thing that separates this range from costume jewelry at a similar price. This collection includes both lab grown diamond and moissanite rings, and each product page states which stone it is set with.

How can a solid gold diamond ring cost under $500?

Three reasons. The stones are smaller, typically under a carat. The settings are simpler, so less hand-setting time. And lab grown diamonds cost 60 to 80 percent less than mined stones of the same grade. Nothing is compromised on metal: every ring is 10K, 14K or 18K solid gold or platinum.

What should you expect at this price?

A promise ring, a stacking band, a slim solitaire or a pair of studs. Not a 2 carat engagement ring. If a site offers you one at this price, the stone is a simulant or the metal is plated.

Frequently asked questions

Is the gold solid or plated? Solid, always. Ronora does not sell plated jewelry at any price.

Do these come certified? IGI certification applies from 1 carat centre stones, which is above most of this range.

Can I upgrade later? Many customers start with a promise ring here and upgrade the centre stone later in the same setting.
