Why We Champion Natural Diamonds at Aucoin Hart
At Aucoin Hart Jewelers, we proudly specialize in natural diamonds because we believe their story perfectly complements the meaning behind an engagement ring. Formed deep within the earth over billions of years, natural diamonds are incredibly rare geological treasures that cannot be duplicated by nature's timeline. Unlike factory-produced laboratory-grown diamonds, which can be manufactured indefinitely and have experienced significant decreases in market value, natural diamonds possess genuine scarcity that has made them treasured across generations. Every natural diamond also carries its own unique characteristics, from subtle internal inclusions to distinctive growth patterns that serve as an unmistakable geological fingerprint. No two stones are ever exactly alike, ensuring that your engagement ring remains completely one of a kind. Beyond their beauty and rarity, natural diamonds symbolize resilience and permanence, having endured immense heat and pressure throughout their remarkable formation. We believe there is something profoundly meaningful about celebrating a lifelong commitment with a gemstone whose own journey has lasted billions of years, making it a fitting representation of a love that is intended to last forever.

Metairie Engagement Ring FAQs
Are the center diamonds included in the prices of your online engagement settings?
Most of our engagement ring settings are offered as semi-mounts, meaning the listed price includes the precious metal setting and any accent diamonds but does not include the center diamond. This gives you the flexibility to choose a GIA-certified natural diamond that perfectly matches your desired carat weight, quality, and budget. Our bridal specialists are happy to guide you through selecting the ideal center stone to complete your ring.
How long does a custom engagement ring build take at your Metairie workshop?
If you choose an engagement ring setting that is currently in stock, we can typically complete professional sizing and preparation within just a few business days. For fully custom engagement rings or special-order designer mountings, the process generally takes between three and six weeks from the initial design consultation through the final finishing and polishing. Throughout the process, our team keeps you informed to ensure your ring is ready for your special moment.
Can I bring an inherited or family loose diamond to be set into a new engagement ring?
Absolutely. We are honored to help families preserve meaningful heirloom diamonds while giving them a fresh new appearance. Our experienced on-site jewelers will carefully inspect your inherited natural diamond, discuss your design preferences, and help you select the perfect designer setting or create a custom Aucoin Hart engagement ring that beautifully showcases your family's treasured gemstone for generations to come.
