The price of a 2 carat diamond ring varies significantly depending on several factors such as diamond type (natural or lab-grown), cut, color, clarity, and the ring’s setting. On average, the price for a natural 2 carat diamond ring is around $15,000, while a clarity-enhanced 2 carat diamond ring is about $10,000, and a lab-grown equivalent is typically around $3,000[1]. However, high-grade natural 2-carat rings can cost anywhere from $4,000 to over $30,000[8].
At some retailers, prices for popular shapes and good grades are as follows:
- Natural round 2-carat diamond ring (G, VS2, 14kt gold): $28,009
- Natural pear shape (G, VS2, 14kt gold): $52,089
- Lab-grown round 2-carat ring (F-G, VS, 14kt gold): $3,699
- Lab-grown emerald cut (F-G, VS, 14kt gold): $2,919
Lab-grown diamonds can be 70-85% less expensive than natural diamonds of similar appearance[1][4].
In India, prices for a 2-carat diamond range from approximately ₹4,00,000 to over ₹15,00,000, and even up to ₹40 lakh for top-quality stones[2].
The final price depends mainly on the 4Cs:
- Cut quality: Excellent/ideal cut stones sparkle more and are priced higher
- Color and clarity: Near-colorless (G-H) and VS1/VS2 clarity often provide the best value
- Ring setting: Premium metals or designer settings add cost
- Diamond type: Natural, clarity-enhanced, or lab-grown
A 2-carat diamond ring is considered large enough for impact but still suitable for everyday wear. Prospective buyers are advised to compare diamond options carefully, focusing on visible quality, and consulting with a trusted expert to ensure balanced value[1][4].
