Which is better for an engagement ring?

The Éthique is the safer engagement choice because it uses real lab-grown diamonds with stated FG color and VS-S1 clarity. The Stella Grace is cubic zirconia and better suited to a costume or travel ring.

The Stella Grace looks much bigger. Its center stone is 4 5/8 ct. at 8 mm x 8 mm, and total weight is 5 3/5 ct. against 1 ct. for the Éthique.

The Éthique's diamonds will not cloud, though its sterling silver can tarnish. Cubic zirconia in the Stella Grace is softer and can scratch or dull with daily wear.

Is the Éthique worth the extra $120?

If you want genuine diamonds and a higher-rated ring, yes. If size matters more than stone type, the Stella Grace at $112.00 is the cheaper pick.

Do both come in a box?

Yes. Both Kohl's listings say the ring comes boxed.

How do the bands compare in width?

The Stella Grace band is 12.5 mm wide with a cathedral shank. The Éthique band is 9.5 mm with a tapered shank, so it sits slimmer on the finger.
