Hi there, it’s Mike and Ira, the Diamond
Pros.
Today we’ll do a quick rundown of what to
look for when buying a two carat diamond ring.
Let's start with the easy stuff.
There are two questions that we can’t answer
for you: Which shape diamond you want and
what style setting you will put it in.
Those decisions are based on personal preferences
and style.
Once you figure those two things out, we are
happy to take it from there.
We’ll give a quick crash course, but make
sure to look up all relevant videos and articles
we have for the specific diamond shape you are getting (you can find a link below).
For color, we normally recommend J+ for a
round solitaire in white gold or platinum.
Since a two carat diamond is a bit larger
than our typical recommendations, you may
want to bump up the color a bit.
If not, the diamond really needs to be fantastically
cut if you are going for a J color, but more
about that later.
We have guidelines for all other shape and
setting combinations as well.
Be sure to check out our content on clarity.
It's imperative that you find a diamond that
is eye-clean.
Finding an eye-clean diamond is more of an
art form than a science, so feel free to lean
on us for help picking out a diamond.
You can contact us at any time for help with
that.
Cut is another thing you should keep in mind.
Try to get the nicest cut possible as this
is what makes the diamond sparkle.
And, as always, be sure to get a diamond with
a GIA or AGS certificate.
So where are the best places to get a 2ct
diamond ring?
Let's go over the options.
Our favorite places are Blue Nile and James Allen.
Blue Nile has a fantastic selection of diamonds
and settings.
They manage to offer these diamonds to consumers
working on razor-thin margins.
This gives you, the consumer, your best bang
for your buck.
Take a look at this fantastic 2ct diamond
from Blue Nile.
You can look at the details via the link below.
James Allen is another fantastic choice.
Their selection parallels Blue Nile’s and
their service is phenomenal.
They too offer great value for consumers.
Here is a stunning 2.50ct diamond from them.
Brian Gavin Diamonds is an interesting third
option to consider.
Brian Gavin specializes in perfectly cut diamonds.
There is a premium that goes along with his
diamonds, but for those of you looking for
the absolute best diamond, Brian Gavin is
someone to consider.

Once again, it’s Ira and Mike, the Diamond
Pros.
