Maya Princess Lab Grown Diamond Cigar Band Ring vs Vrai Cigar Band Solitaire Engagement Ring

Both are 4mm-ish cigar band solitaires with lab-grown diamonds, so the real split is stone cut and metal. The Maya is a princess-cut stone in 14K gold or platinum with a wide choice of colors and an engravable band; the Vrai is a round brilliant in 18K white gold with a stated 1.0 ct, I-J, VS+ Super Ideal stone and a lifetime warranty. Buyers of both describe the rings as striking in person; the Vrai is the more standardized, certified-cut option, the Maya the more customizable one.

• Choose the Maya if you want a princess-cut stone, a choice of 14K yellow, white or rose gold or platinum, and side engraving.
• Choose the Vrai if you want a round brilliant with a stated carat, color, clarity and cut grade, in 18K white gold, backed by a lifetime warranty.
