Quick answer: a 1 carat lab-grown engagement ring in Saudi Arabia starts at SAR 2,290; a 1 carat natural-diamond engagement ring starts at SAR 8,120 — both VAT-inclusive (15% per ZATCA), with free insured shipping to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and across the Kingdom.
How much is a 2 carat diamond ring in Saudi Arabia?
VYKA’s published SAR reference table puts a complete 2.00 carat ring — centre stone plus an 18K gold setting, VAT-inclusive and delivered — at SAR 4,480 – 7,510 with an IGI-certified lab-grown diamond and SAR 34,740 – 62,890 with a GIA-certified natural diamond. These are illustrative ranges; final pricing is confirmed during consultation after you select the specific stone, because colour, clarity and cut decide where a particular 2 carat diamond sits inside them.
On the same table, a 1.00 carat ring runs SAR 2,290 – 5,240 lab-grown and SAR 8,120 – 13,730 natural. Every figure already includes the 15% Saudi VAT and Saudi customs clearance (no bill at delivery) in Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam, plus free insured shipping to any Saudi address.
What Determines a Diamond Ring Price
Every diamond ring is priced on two things: the centre stone and the setting.
Centre stone — the largest single cost. Price is determined by the 4Cs:
- Carat — weight of the stone. A 1 carat stone costs more than double a 0.50 carat stone of the same quality, because larger rough diamonds are rarer.
- Colour — graded D (colourless) to Z (light yellow). For Saudi buyers, most popular grades are D-F (colourless, highest grade) and G-H (near-colourless, excellent value).
- Clarity — graded FL (flawless) to I3 (heavily included). VS1-VS2 is the sweet spot for most engagement rings — no visible inclusions without magnification.
- Cut — graded Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor. Affects how the diamond sparkles. Excellent and Very Good for round brilliants are standard for VYKA clients.
Setting — the metal and workmanship around the stone. Typically 10-20% of the total ring cost:
- 18K gold (white, yellow, or rose) or platinum
- Setting style (solitaire, halo, hidden halo, three-stone, bezel, pavé)
- Accent diamonds where the design includes them
Typical Saudi Riyal Ranges by Carat Weight
Below are realistic starting prices for complete engagement rings (centre stone + 18K gold setting) delivered to Saudi Arabia. These are illustrative ranges; final pricing is confirmed during consultation after you select the specific stone.
Reference Pricing Table (SAR, VAT inclusive, delivered)
Centre stone + 18K gold setting. Each stone independently graded by GIA (natural) or IGI (lab-grown).
| Centre stone | Lab-grown (SAR) | Natural (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| 1.00 ct | 2,290 – 5,240 | 8,120 – 13,730 |
| 1.50 ct | 2,790 – 6,220 | 16,250 – 32,560 |
| 2.00 ct | 4,480 – 7,510 | 34,740 – 62,890 |
| 2.50 ct | 5,400 – 10,110 | 44,960 – 73,100 |
| 3.00 ct | 8,160 – 12,300 | 58,900 – 84,700 |
Lab Grown Diamonds (IGI certified)
- 1.00 carat round brilliant solitaire — from SAR 2,290
- 1.50 carat round brilliant solitaire — from SAR 2,790
- 2.00 carat round brilliant solitaire — from SAR 4,480
- 3.00 carat round brilliant solitaire — from SAR 8,160
Natural Diamonds (GIA certified)
- 0.50 carat round brilliant solitaire — from SAR 3,070
- 1.00 carat round brilliant solitaire — from SAR 8,120
- 1.50 carat round brilliant solitaire — from SAR 16,250
- 2.00 carat round brilliant solitaire — from SAR 34,730
Fancy shapes (oval, emerald, cushion, pear, etc.) generally price slightly below round brilliant at the same carat and quality. Halo and hidden halo settings add SAR 1,500-3,500 depending on accent stone quality. Three-stone designs depend on the combined weight of all three stones. And because two stones at the same carat can differ enormously in quality, our guide on how to tell if a diamond is good shows you how to judge a diamond before you compare prices.

VYKA operates directly from Dubai with no retail showrooms, no display staff, and no inventory sitting in a vault waiting for a buyer. This removes three cost layers that a traditional Saudi jeweller has to recover in every sale:
- No retail rent — a showroom in Riyadh’s Kingdom Centre or Olaya costs tens of thousands of SAR per month. That cost is built into every ring sold there.
- No standing inventory markup — traditional jewellers buy stock upfront and mark it up to cover holding costs. VYKA sources each stone to the client’s specific brief, reducing capital tied up in unsold inventory.
- No tiered supply chain — VYKA buys certified stones directly from authorised suppliers, then sets them in our own workshop. One margin, not three.
The result: for the same GIA or IGI certified stone at the same 4Cs, VYKA typically prices 30-50% below a Saudi retail jeweller. The saving is real, and the certification is identical — every stone ships with its original GIA or IGI report. For the full story of how we set every figure — sourcing, margins, and the all-in price promise — see how our pricing works.

Price Match Policy
If you find a comparable GIA or IGI certified stone with the same 4Cs from another retailer at a lower price, contact VYKA with the competitor certificate and quote. We will review and match where we can. The comparison has to be like-for-like: same lab, same colour, same clarity, same cut grade, same carat. Different stones at similar specs are not directly comparable.
Lab Grown vs Natural — Price Difference
At identical 4Cs, a lab grown diamond typically costs 50-70% less than a natural diamond. For a 1 carat round brilliant in G colour and VS1 clarity:
- Lab grown (IGI) — from SAR 2,290
- Natural (GIA) — from SAR 8,120
The stones look identical. The certification standards are the same. The only differences are origin (earth-formed vs laboratory-formed) and long-term resale value (natural has historically held resale value better than lab grown). For clients who view the ring as a piece to own and wear, lab grown delivers more stone for the budget. For clients who value geological rarity, natural remains the preference.
If lab grown is the direction you are leaning, our lab-grown diamond rings in Saudi Arabia guide shows current designs with SAR pricing and delivery details.
The price, itemised — the way a gold shop does it
In Saudi Arabia you already know how to judge a jeweller: you make him break the number down. The gold rate per gram is published, the karat is stamped, and the making charge is argued over as its own line. By the time you pay, you know exactly what you bought.
Nobody does that for diamonds. The stone arrives as a single number with a description attached, and the description is written by the person selling it. That is the real problem with buying a diamond here — not the price, the opacity.
So ask us to itemise it, and we will. Every quote can come back split into the same lines a souq dealer would give you:
- the GIA or IGI report number, which you look up yourself on the laboratory's own site
- the stone: carat, colour, clarity and cut, stated separately as the report states them
- the metal weight in grams and the karat
- the making charge, as its own line
- delivery, insured, to your Saudi address, with the 15% VAT already inside the figure
You can price every one of those lines against another jeweller. That is the point of showing them.
It also makes comparison honest. A quote that gives you carat alone is giving you the one figure that flatters the stone. A quote that gives you all four grades can be checked against anyone.
How it reaches you, and why that matters
Your ring ships insured with FedEx and Brinks and is tracked from our hands to yours. Brinks is not a general parcel service — it is the secure carrier the diamond trade itself uses to move stones between cutting centres.
We say this plainly because we know what we are missing. Every jeweller you are comparing us against leads with an address: a shop in Riyadh, a counter in Jeddah, decades on the same street. We do not have that, and pretending otherwise would insult your judgement. What we have instead is a certificate you can verify without trusting us, the stone on video at 40x before you pay, a named person who answers, and the same carrier the trade uses to move millions of riyals of stones. Those are checkable facts rather than reassuring adjectives.
What to ask before you pay anyone
Run this on any jeweller in Saudi Arabia, including us. Six questions will tell you more than an afternoon of browsing.
- Ask for the report number and look it up yourself on the GIA or IGI site. Not a photograph of a certificate — the number. If it is not offered readily, you have your answer.
- Ask for all four grades separately. A quote that gives carat alone is giving you the one figure that flatters the stone.
- Ask specifically for the cut grade. It decides how the ring actually looks, and it is the grade most often left out of a quote.
- Ask for the metal weight in grams and the making charge as its own line, exactly as you would in a gold shop.
- Ask what the total is delivered, with VAT inside it, and whether anything is collected on arrival.
- Ask what happens if it does not fit — and get the answer before you pay, not after.
A jeweller who answers all six without hesitating is probably worth buying from. One who deflects on any of them has told you something useful, for free.
How long it takes, and when to start
A finished piece already in stock can reach Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam quickly once the stone is confirmed. A ring built around a specific certified stone cannot: the stone is secured, the setting is made, the piece is checked, and you approve it before it moves. Add a resize after arrival and you are counting in weeks rather than days.
This is the most common avoidable problem we see. People choose the stone carefully and then discover the calendar was the real constraint. If there is a date, give it to us in the first message and we will show you only what can genuinely be delivered inside it — rather than showing you something you fall for and apologising about timing afterwards.
Starting early commits you to nothing. You can see certified options and real prices today and decide in three weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are prices on the VYKA site really in SAR for Saudi customers?
Yes. When you visit from Saudi Arabia, prices display in SAR automatically. The amount shown already includes 15% Saudi VAT.
Do I pay customs or duty at delivery?
No. VYKA handles Saudi customs documentation. The price at checkout is final.
Can I pay in instalments?
Instalment options depend on your chosen payment method. Tabby and Tamara instalments are supported at checkout for Saudi customers.
What’s the cheapest diamond ring you sell?
Lab grown solitaire rings start around SAR 3,500 for a 0.50 carat stone. Smaller stones and simpler settings can go lower, but 0.50 carat is the practical starting point for engagement rings.
What’s the most expensive?
There is no fixed upper limit. Natural diamond engagement rings at 3-5 carats D/VVS can exceed SAR 500,000. Most VYKA Saudi clients spend between SAR 10,000 and SAR 50,000 for a 1-2 carat ring.
How accurate are the price ranges on this page?
They are directional starting prices. Actual pricing depends on the specific stone you select (each certified diamond is unique, even at the same 4Cs) and any setting customisation. Final price is quoted during consultation.
Why is there such a big price range at the same carat?
Because the 4Cs vary. A 1 carat D/IF natural diamond costs several times more than a 1 carat H/SI1. Same weight, very different stone.
Can I see prices without talking to a salesperson?
Yes. Browse the VYKA site for published ring prices, or contact us on WhatsApp with your spec brief (carat range, colour, clarity, setting preference) and we send a shortlist with prices attached.
How much is a 1 gram diamond ring in Saudi Arabia?
Diamonds are measured in carats, not grams — one carat is 0.2 grams, so a true ‘1 gram’ diamond is about 5 carats, a large and rare stone. Most buyers searching this want a standard ring around 1 carat, which at VYKA starts from about SAR 3,500 for a certified lab-grown stone and rises by carat and quality for a natural diamond (see the SAR ranges above). Tell us your budget and we’ll send a shortlist with prices attached, delivered to Riyadh, Jeddah and across Saudi Arabia.
