Alara Ring | Luxury

Our engagement rings are responsibly crafted in Germany using recycled gold and certified* lab-grown diamonds . We collaborate with two family-run businesses in Pforzheim and our expert diamond setter, Lena, who lovingly and expertly sets each diamond in your ring.

We source our recycled gold locally from Germany (urban mining, more information here ) and restore its brilliance with masterful craftsmanship! Our lab-grown diamonds are sourced through our German partner DIAVON – these handcrafted diamonds are grown carbon-neutrally in the USA and cut in India (like 95% of all diamonds worldwide). We can fully trace their origin.

*For lab-grown diamonds of 0.30ct or more, you will receive an official IGI certificate for your stone (certificates are generally not issued for very small setting stones and diamonds under 0.30ct). We also issue a separate certificate of authenticity for each ring, confirming its quality and the materials used.

Lab-grown diamonds are synthetic, genuine diamonds with the exact same properties and appearance as natural diamonds. Even experts can't distinguish them with the naked eye, making them a wonderful choice for engagement rings! We've summarized why you should choose them in our blog post.

To classify a diamond and determine its value, one considers the 4Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat (weight). This applies equally to natural and lab-grown diamonds.

For our timeless, elegant designs, we select precious lab-grown diamonds (synthetic diamonds) of the highest quality. You will find the individual quality characteristics of each piece of jewelry in the product description.

You will receive a certificate of authenticity from us for every piece of jewelry, confirming the origin of your piece.

For our lab-grown diamonds (synthetic diamonds grown in the lab) from 0.30ct upwards, you will also receive an official IGI certificate. Rings with pavé settings or eternity rings with many small diamonds will receive a certificate issued by us, as certificates are generally not issued for very small stones. We source all our lab-grown diamonds from the same trusted source in Germany.

Each ring is lovingly handcrafted individually according to your wishes. Our goldsmiths in Germany require approximately 4-6 weeks for this process.

Our engagement rings are made to last a lifetime! They're true heirlooms. That's why they're crafted to the highest quality standards, 100% in Germany by master craftsmen.

Gold does not fade or tarnish. This means you can wear your jewelry around the clock and for any occasion.

Things we wear every day naturally show signs of wear over time, especially if we wear them often and with pleasure. Diamonds, in particular, are susceptible to dust, small skin flakes, or oil. It's therefore worthwhile to clean your jewel from time to time (conventional dish soap and warm water are sufficient) and treat it with care.

There are several ways to determine ring size. The easiest way is if your partner already wears or owns rings.

For this purpose, you can find our free template for download here, as well as further information for measuring from home.

When measuring, make sure the ring is worn on the 'correct' finger. Traditionally, the engagement ring is worn on the left hand – but we think you can define your own tradition and wear the ring wherever you like!

We also offer you the option of ordering our ring sizer and determining the ring size together.

Our tip: It's become very popular for couples to choose their engagement ring together. This way, your loved one can select the perfect ring according to her own style and taste, and is guaranteed to be happy with it for a lifetime!

If you need further assistance in determining your ring size, please feel free to contact us.

Should the ring ultimately not fit perfectly, a size change is always possible afterwards.

Since each ring is lovingly handcrafted here in Germany, the production time is usually about 4-6 weeks. We place the utmost importance on quality and care to ensure that your ring is perfect!

If you need your piece of jewelry sooner, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Each ring is lovingly handcrafted – individually according to your wishes. We ask for your understanding that our engagement rings are therefore non-returnable.

However, should the recipient not like the ring, we are happy to offer the option of choosing a different model or receiving a voucher for our online shop equal to the original best price.
