Lurathma 10 Carat Radiant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring in 14k White Gold: Setting the Bar in Modern Luxury

Why I Designed the Lurathma: A Vision of Modern Brilliance

Every client who sits across from me is searching for something rare—a piece that stands out not just today, but for generations. The Lurathma 10 Carat Radiant Cut Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring in 14k White Gold isn’t just another ring on the shelf. It’s a declaration.

They’re selling jewelry; I’m solving problems.

When I envisioned the Lurathma, my goal wasn’t simply to create a beautiful ring—it was to engineer a legacy. Here’s what sets this design apart:

  • Purposeful Proportions: Ten carats of radiant-cut brilliance, meticulously selected and crafted to ensure each facet maximizes light return and visual impact.
  • Lab Grown, Ethically Sourced: For my clients, ethics matter as much as aesthetics. The Lurathma uses lab grown diamonds—guaranteed conflict-free and environmentally conscious—reflecting a new standard in luxury.
  • Signature Setting: The 14k white gold mounting isn’t just about shine. It’s built for security and comfort, with subtle details that speak to both durability and style.
  • Timeless Statement: This isn’t a trend piece. Its clean lines and bold silhouette are intended to transcend fashion cycles, becoming an heirloom—one that tells your story for decades to come.

The Radiant Cut: Where Fire Meets Precision

What makes this piece so compelling? The radiant cut is not just a shape—it’s an engineering feat, a deliberate marriage of artistry and technical mastery. Unlike traditional cuts that often force you to choose between brilliance or structure, the radiant cut brings both to the table—effortlessly.

When you look at a radiant cut diamond, you’re seeing decades of evolution in diamond cutting. Developed in the late 1970s, this cut was designed to combine the best of both worlds: the pure fire of a round brilliant and the elegant geometry of an emerald or Asscher cut. In my work as a New York jeweler, I see firsthand how this translates to everyday wear and long-term value for my clients.

Why Collectors Gravitate Toward Radiant Cuts

Exceptional Sparkle:

With 70 meticulously angled facets, each one acts like a miniature mirror—catching, bending, and reflecting light from every conceivable direction. It’s not just sparkle; it’s explosive brilliance that holds your gaze even in low light.

Rectangular Elegance:

The crisp profile commands attention. Its elongated proportions create an illusion of larger size on the finger while maintaining sophisticated symmetry. If you appreciate architectural lines with modern appeal, this is where your search ends.

Practical Durability:

Those signature cropped corners aren’t just aesthetic—they serve a real purpose. By minimizing sharp edges, the design dramatically reduces the risk of chipping, making it ideal for clients who want their jewelry to keep up with their lifestyle, not sit locked away.

My clients expect more than fleeting trends—they invest in pieces that age with them, gaining character over time rather than losing relevance.

Lab Grown Diamonds: The Smart Collector’s Choice

Let’s cut through the marketing noise. A 10 carat natural diamond of this clarity and color would be out of reach for nearly everyone. With lab grown diamonds, you’re not sacrificing quality—you’re making a smart investment:

  • Ethical Origins: No mining, no conflict.
  • Unmatched Value: All the prestige at a fraction of the cost.
  • Identical Beauty: Atom-for-atom, these stones are real diamonds—period.

Clients aren’t loyal to price—they’re loyal to expertise.

14k White Gold: Understated Strength

A diamond of this caliber demands a setting that complements, not competes. That’s why I chose 14k white gold:

  • Perfect Balance: Pure enough for luxury, alloyed for daily wear.
  • Timeless Appeal: Enhances the icy brilliance of the radiant cut diamond without overshadowing it.
  • Hypoallergenic Comfort: Suitable even for sensitive skin.

If you can’t see the difference, you’ll feel it later in repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lab Grown Diamonds

Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?

Absolutely.

Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to their mined counterparts. The only difference is their origin:

  • Mined Diamonds are formed naturally deep within the Earth over billions of years.
  • Lab Grown Diamonds are created in advanced laboratories using cutting-edge technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process.

You’re not sacrificing authenticity—just making an informed, modern choice. They’re selling jewelry; I’m solving problems. That means I guide you to the real facts behind each stone, not just the marketing hype.

Will anyone know if my diamond is lab grown?

In everyday life, no one will know—not your friends, not your family, and certainly not a casual observer across the table. Spotting a lab grown diamond requires:

  • Specialized gemological tools
  • An expert’s trained eye
  • Sometimes checking for microscopic laser inscriptions or grading reports

Your secret is safe unless you choose to share it. The beauty and brilliance are indistinguishable in any light—only those who look for technical clues will ever know.

Do lab grown diamonds hold their value?

Let’s get real:

All luxury goods—from designer watches to classic cars—fluctuate in value based on demand, trends, and rarity. Lab grown diamonds offer:

  • Exceptional beauty and quality
  • Alignment with ethical and sustainable values
  • More size or quality for your investment

But above all else:

The true value is personal. Does this ring make your heart skip a beat every day? Does it match your principles? That’s priceless.

Nekta New York

I rarely write reviews but working with Mike has been a true pleasure! My fiancé and I flew from Austin to meet with him - and we left with the most exquisite engagement ring! His craftsmanship is impeccable and his true passion for what he does is clearly apparent…not to mention how wonderful his client service is! He sized the ring on the spot and made sure that all the documentation (and the ring) made it safely to Texas. We are now having him create the wedding band of my dreams. If you are looking for exceptional artistry, a lovely experience and a collaborative relationship to design your jewelry - look no further than Mike Nekta!

I had a fantastic experience with Mike who helped us choose our diamond. He was informative, passionate, and genuinely wanted us to be happy with our decision. His kindness and positive attitude made the process enjoyable. We don’t live in his area so he went above and beyond by texting us to keep us informed of the whole creation process. Highly recommend him!

I just got my engagement ring through Mike Nekta and I can’t even begin to say how pleased I am! The entire experience has been wonderful from start to finish. First, the uniqueness and quality of the piece itself is outstanding. The pricing was surprisingly good considering all the factors involved. But most especially, Mike’s personal level of interest in pleasing us as his clients- you rarely find that level of personal service anymore! He cared about making my dream come true. He bent over backwards to make my dream ring possible for me! He clearly deals with elites who spend far more but it didn’t matter to him, he cared just as much about my purchase. I really appreciated that. I definitely plan to shop with Mike again!

Mike is the best! I told him exactly the type of Diamond I wanted for my solitaire engagement ring and he helped my fiancé find the best diamond to not only fit his budget but one I would fall in love with! He really listens to what you like and want and really does exceed to help fit those desires in a ring. Definitely will be coming back to him for our wedding bands and all future jewelry purchases!

This is my second big purchase with Mike Nekta and as always service education quality of the purchase has been nothing but fantastic! Surprise my wife with an upgrade for our seven year anniversary, Mike Nekta came through with flying colors! This place will always be my first & last stop! I could’ve easily spent more money but Mike made sure that what I was buying was the right ring not the most expensive and that’s what I love about shopping with him.You can find a jeweler that sells you anything you want to buy but when you find a jeweler that guide you in the right direction and builds trust with the customer then you’re not only have a jeweler you have an emotional connection same as you do a friend. Thanks Mike!!!
