Want to upgrade your engagement ring? We don’t blame you!
An engagement ring for women is more than just a sparkly piece of jewellery; it’s a symbol of the love and commitment you share with your partner—and we bet you wouldn’t want to trade it for the world!
That said, at Angara, we believe that your engagement ring should reflect the beautiful journey that your love has endured. After all, the best love stories blossom with time and every moment (like your 5th or 10th anniversary) deserves to be celebrated. Pair that with how much your love has grown over the years. No wonder your finger is itching for something a bit more… let’s say, sizeable.
FYI, you’re not alone. According to Angara’s latest ‘Engagement Ring Trends Report,’ it’s not uncommon for lovebirds to give their engagement ring an upgrade by swapping out that modest .5 carat stone for something that packs a bit more punch, say up to 3 carats. So, if you’ve been wondering whether to upgrade your engagement ring, this is your sign to just go for it!
But Can You Really Afford to Upgrade Your Engagement Ring?
Well, it is the first question to ask before upgrading your engagement ring. You won’t believe us if we said yes. But the answer to your query is *drumroll* opting for a lab-grown diamond or gemstone.
So, why should you buy lab-grown jewellery?
Prepared in a labouratory under the keen eyes of scientists, lab-grown gemstones are as real and dazzling as natural gemstones. The best part? They cost about 1/10th the amount of their earth-mined counterparts making it easy for you to get more sparklers for a little amount of splurge.
What’s more, if you buy your sparkler from Angara, you can customise the metal used to create your piece as well as the carat weight of your lab-grown diamond and gemstone.
What’s more, Angara also lets you shop for engagement rings on finance. Our easy pay options with monthly instalments will help you get your dream ring without paying a large sum upfront.

Style Recommendations for Your Engagement Ring Upgrade
1. Solitaire
Featuring a single gemstone, the solitaire is one style that demands attention. And IMO, there’s no better way to emphasize this point than with an Angara lab-grown gemstone which can be flaunted in up to 5 carats.
This ensures that your ring doesn’t just whisper, “I’m upgraded” but screams it from the rooftops.
