Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 2 carat lab grown diamond considered big? +
Yes — a 2 carat diamond is considered a premium, visually striking size. Whether round,
oval, emerald, or radiant, a 2 carat diamond offers significant presence on the hand
and is larger than what most people wear daily, making it a popular choice for luxury
engagement rings and statement jewellery.
How big does a 2 carat lab grown diamond look compared to a 1 carat diamond? +
A 2 carat diamond looks noticeably larger — not just double the weight, but significantly
bigger in surface area. Depending on the shape, it can appear up to 50–70% larger
when viewed from above, especially in shapes like oval, pear, and radiant.
Are 2 carat lab grown diamonds more affordable than mined diamonds? +
Yes. Lab grown diamonds offer exceptional value — a 2 carat lab grown diamond can cost
up to 70% less than a mined diamond of the same cut, color, and clarity, making big
sizes more accessible without compromising on beauty or quality.
Do 2 carat lab grown diamonds sparkle as much as natural diamonds of the same size? +
Yes. Lab grown diamonds have identical chemical, optical, and physical properties to natural diamonds.
A well-cut 2 carat lab grown diamond will display the same brilliance, fire, and scintillation as a
natural diamond of equal quality.
What clarity and color grades are recommended for a 2 carat diamond? +
Because of the larger size, inclusions and color are more visible in 2 carat diamonds.
Most buyers prefer D–F color and VVS1–VS1 clarity for a clean, high-quality appearance.
However, excellent cut is the most important factor for maximum sparkle.
Do 2 carat lab grown diamonds come with IGI or GIA certification? +
Yes. 2 carat lab grown diamonds are commonly certified by IGI or GIA, with a full grading report
detailing the 4Cs, polish, symmetry, fluorescence, and growth method (CVD or HPHT).
Is a 2 carat diamond suitable for everyday wear in an engagement ring? +
Absolutely. A 2 carat diamond is durable for daily use, as both lab grown and natural diamonds
have a Mohs hardness of 10. Pairing it with a secure setting — like a 4 or 6 prong,
halo, or bezel — ensures long-term safety and comfort.
Which shapes look largest in the 2 carat range? +
Ovals, pears, marquise, and emerald cuts often appear larger than their 2 carat weight
due to elongated proportions and large face-up area. Round diamonds look slightly smaller
but provide the brightest overall sparkle.
Is a 2 carat lab grown diamond a good choice for pendants or earrings too? +
Yes. 2 carat diamonds (or 1 carat each for earrings) make luxurious solitaires with excellent
visual impact. They are ideal for tennis pendants, classic studs, and high-end fine jewellery.
Are there many options in 2 carat lab grown diamonds? +
Yes — you can choose from round, oval, cushion, emerald, radiant, pear, marquise, princess,
heart, and many fancy shapes, along with a wide selection of color, clarity, and cut qualities
within the 2 carat range.
