Lab-Grown Elongated Cushion Diamond Rings

Lab-Grown Elongated Cushion Diamond Rings: Brilliant, Ethical, Beautiful

What if you could have all the sparkle, none of the guilt, and a price point that lets you breathe a little easier?

That’s what lab-grown diamonds are all about. And when you pair this eco-conscious stone with the swoon-worthy elongated cushion cut, you get a modern heirloom that’s every bit as special as the love it represents.

At Melissa Tyson Designs, we believe your ring should reflect your values and your style. That’s why we offer certified lab-grown elongated cushion diamonds, custom-set by hand in our Wilmington, NC studio by the sea.

Why Our Brides Love Lab-Grown Diamonds

-Ethical + Eco-Conscious
Lab diamonds are created in a controlled environment with no mining, making them a sustainable and conflict-free alternative.

-Certified + Graded
Just like mined diamonds, lab-grown stones come with certification, color grading, and clarity reports—so you know exactly what you’re getting.

-Budget Friendly
Get a bigger, higher-clarity diamond at a lower price point. Our lab-grown elongated cushion engagement rings range from $2,500 to $7,900, depending on size, cut, and custom setting.

So… Are Lab Diamonds Real Diamonds?

Yes! Lab-grown diamonds are 100% chemically and physically identical to mined diamonds—they're just created above ground, not below.

They offer:

The same sparkle, fire, and hardness
The same certification process (GIA, IGI, etc.)
More transparency in sourcing and production

Why Elongated Cushion is the Perfect Shape for Lab Diamonds

The elongated cushion cut—with its soft edges and flattering shape—adds an extra touch of vintage elegance to your lab diamond. The elongated shape gives the illusion of longer, slender fingers, and works beautifully in:

-Gold halo settings (like our Stella)

-Hammered or textured bands (see Jana)

-Two-tone settings (check out Valerie)

-Minimalist solitaire styles (like Carolina)
