2 carat engagement ring

Short answer: A well-cut 2 carat round stone is about 8.1 mm across. That is twice the weight of a 1 carat but only about 25% wider, because the extra weight also goes into depth. At Ivevar, a 2 carat lab grown diamond solitaire costs $2,080 in 14K gold ($1,084 in 925 sterling silver), and a 2 carat moissanite solitaire costs $1,457 in 14K gold, at the time of writing.

How Big Does 2 Carats Look?

On most fingers, a 2 carat round covers a good part of the finger width and reads as a bold, confident ring. Oval and emerald shapes look even larger for the same weight because they are longer. If you want the biggest look, an oval or elongated shape set north-south is hard to beat.

Best Shapes at 2 Carats

Oval gives the largest-looking stone and lengthens the finger. Round gives the most sparkle and suits every setting. Emerald shows a clean, mirror-like look, but its open facets make inclusions easier to see, so choose higher clarity for this shape.

Settings That Suit 2 Carats

A larger stone deserves a secure setting. Six prongs or four sturdy claw prongs hold a 2 carat well. A cathedral setting lifts the stone for more light, while a lower setting is less likely to catch on clothing. A slim or pavé band keeps the focus on the center stone.
