The price of a 4 carat diamond ring can vary significantly depending on whether it is a natural, lab-grown, or clarity-enhanced diamond, as well as its cut, clarity, color, and setting. Typical prices for a natural diamond ring of this size range from $30,000 to $275,000 or more. Average prices for high-quality, natural 4-carat diamond rings are commonly reported around $90,000–$100,000, but stones of exceptional cut, color, and clarity can command higher prices[1][2][3][5].
Lab-grown 4 carat diamond rings are much less expensive, with prices often found between $5,000 and $10,000 for high-quality stones. Clarity-enhanced diamonds fall in between, at approximately $18,000 and up[4][5].
Recent price examples for natural 4 carat diamond rings include:
- 4.02 carat cushion cut halo set ring: $68,030 (G color, VS2 clarity)
- 4.01 carat oval cut three stone ring: $73,760 (H color, VS2 clarity)
- 4.02 carat radiant cut solitaire ring: $51,030 (H color, VS2 clarity)
- High-end options: up to $275,000 or more depending on quality and rarity[1].
Lab-grown diamond ring prices for the same size are considerably lower, typically ranging from $4,999 to $10,400 for a complete engagement ring, depending on cut and setting options[4].
Key considerations affecting price include:
- Diamond cut, color, and clarity: Higher grades significantly increase price.
- Diamond type: Lab-grown and clarity-enhanced stones cost less than natural diamonds.
- Setting and brand: Designer brands and intricate settings can add substantially to the total cost.
Buyers should compare prices across jewelers and consider all 4Cs (carat, cut, color, clarity) before making a purchase[2].
