Suitable ring settings for 2-carat diamonds

We recommend a secure setting for large 2-carat diamonds. For 2-carat round solitaire diamonds, more claws offer security. In contrast, minimal sets lack this security. Claws or prongs should be placed equally around the diamond. For example, the 2-carat Tiffany-style solitaire ring below.

Buying a 2-carat diamond setting

Please remember we offer a  finished ring mount service for any of our designs. Some ring styles need more availability of a 2-carat diamond option. As a result, we CAD-designed the same ring to fit the diamond. Furthermore, we retain the proportions of the ring design. Remember that a 2-carat diamond sits higher in most settings. The greater depth means that the diamond stands higher from the finger.

Choosing a two 2-carat solitaire Diamond Ring

Firstly, ask yourself a couple of questions. Do you want to know where your diamond came out of the ground? An expensive 2-carat diamond should be traceable. However, only some diamonds include information on origin. We list several diamonds in our main list of CanadaMark diamonds. Each 2-carat diamond has GIA certification.

Furthermore, each diamond has a CanadaMark number inscribed on the diamond; both numbers give key information about the diamond. Most importantly, the CanadaMark information ensures a 100% ethical origin. These diamonds originate from the Ekati and Diavik Mines in Canada.

How big are 2-carat solitaire diamonds?

A 2-carat round diamond measures 8mm in diameter. View a comparison between a 2-carat and 3-carat diamond in our other article.

In our first example, we selected an F colour VS2 clarity diamond. For reassurance, the diamond included GIA certification. Owing to this, the grading assessment was accurate. In consequence, the diamond retains its full value. Most importantly, no jeweller will ever question the authenticity of the diamond’s grade.

With the addition of an excellent cut grade, the diamond demonstrated exceptional brilliance compared to other 2-carat diamonds.

Four claws or six claws for 2-carat solitaire diamond rings

Choose your setting style. Consider how many claws you need for your diamond. Four claws benefit from a minimal look. In contrast, six claws give a more traditional look. Interestingly, four prongs give a squared appearance. Again, in comparison, six prongs surround the stone and follow the round effect.

How to get a 2-carat diamond ring for less

Suggestion: Divide the 2-carat diamond weight

If a 2-carat solitaire diamond ring is too expensive, we have suggestions. For example, split the overall weight across several diamonds—for instance, our Bowery ring. Shown here is set with 2 carats of diamonds. Each diamond rests within a full bezel. In total, the ring has a 2-carat diamond weight. Crafted in Platinum, this ring differs from most engagement rings. However, we have made this design for a proposal. Other styles include 2-carat halo rings. Consider a 1-carat diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds. In this instance, we create the total 2-carat diamond weight. Given these points, buyers have many options.

Suggestion: Choose a 2-carat diamond solitaire gemstone ring

Alternatively, choose an affordable gemstone. Equally sized, the Aquamarines below work very well. Especially with a reduced budget. The overall effect is a 2 carat show. However, the cost is far less than a 2-carat diamond ring.
