Engagement Rings in Lyon

Your Laveran Showroom in Lyon

Laveran's Lyon showroom is located at 37, rue de la République, in the 2nd arrondissement: in the heart of the Presqu'île, in the Cordeliers neighborhood, a short walk from the Palais de la Bourse and the Cordeliers métro station. It welcomes you by appointment only, so that choosing your engagement ring in Lyon can happen in a calm setting, with an expert entirely at your disposal.

An appointment lasts about an hour. You examine the diamonds under a loupe, compare the shapes – round, oval, cushion, pear, emerald cut, princess, marquise or heart – and the three qualities offered: H/VS2, F/VS1 and D/VVS1. You try on settings in 18k yellow, white or rose gold, or in 950 platinum, to judge how they look on the hand. It is also the moment to talk about budget in all simplicity and, if you have a precise idea in mind, to consider a custom creation.

Unable to come in person? The same guidance is offered by video call. Either way, the appointment comes with no obligation and an expert will call you back to confirm the time slot: simply book an appointment.

Why Choose a Lab-Grown Diamond

A lab-grown diamond is a diamond in every sense: pure carbon, a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, the same optical properties as a diamond extracted from a mine, and therefore the same fire and brilliance. Only its origin sets it apart, and only specialized laboratory equipment can tell the difference. It is also commonly called a synthetic diamond; at Laveran, every stone is IGI or GIA certified, with a laser-inscribed certificate number.

The benefit is very tangible: for the same size and quality, a lab-grown diamond costs significantly less. With the same budget, you can aim for a larger carat weight or a higher quality, with no mining involved.

Engagement Rings to Discover at the Lyon Showroom

Among the designs you can try on during your appointment:

• Montaigne Six-Prong Ring: the classic solitaire, whose six prongs hold the diamond with finesse, from €880.
• Montaigne Oval Diamond Ring: an oval solitaire whose elongated shape gracefully lengthens the silhouette of the hand.
• Vendôme Ring: a round solitaire set on a pavé band, for more light around the stone.
• Odéon Ring: a center diamond accented by a halo that heightens its presence.
• Étoile Ring: a pear-cut diamond, for a more graphic and distinctive line.

Explore all of our diamond engagement rings. The appointment is also an opportunity to choose your wedding band in Lyon: discover our diamond wedding bands, including the Montaigne Wedding Band and the Vendôme Wedding Band, from around €860. Some designs are available with colored diamonds – blue, pink or yellow. And if no ring matches exactly what you have in mind, our custom workshop will guide you in creating a one-of-a-kind piece.

Each piece is made to order, in 2 to 3 weeks, then delivered free of charge – insured delivery, handed to you in person – or collected at the Lyon showroom. Engraving is complimentary, resizing is free for life, and complimentary refinishing is offered every 18 months. Your purchases are covered by a lifetime warranty and may be returned within 30 days, satisfaction guaranteed or your money back. Payment is accepted by credit card, PayPal or in installments with Alma.

Proposing in Lyon

For a marriage proposal in Lyon, the city offers very different backdrops, from hidden gardens to grand parks. Four ideas:

• The Jardin du Rosaire: this little-known garden of old roses, nestled below the Basilica of Fourvière, offers a view over the city away from the bustle.
• The Jardin des Curiosités: on the heights of Fourvière, a discreet lookout from which Lyon stretches out at your feet.
• The International Rose Garden at the Parc de la Tête d'Or: a stroll among the rosebushes, ideal in fine weather for a proposal surrounded by flowers.
• The galleries of the Grand Hôtel-Dieu: on the Presqu'île, not far from the showroom, its galleries lend themselves to a declaration beneath majestic architecture.

Our advice: to make sure the ring is the right size on the big day, stop by the showroom first or ask for our free ring sizer, sent on request. Also allow for the 2 to 3-week production time. And should the size need adjusting after the proposal, resizing remains free for life.
