Q&A: Help Finding a 2 Ct. Princess Cut Diamond for a White Gold Solitaire Setting

By Mike Fried,

Good day.

I’m purchasing a 2ct princess cut diamond. The setting will be a solitaire with no additional stones, all by itself. The ring will be white gold with four prong holding the diamond. Can you find some options for me?

These diamonds are fantastically cut, eye-clean and either of them would look amazing in a solitaire ring.

They look great! The $3k difference between the two diamonds, would I be able to visually tell the difference if I had the 2 side by side?

Not at all. The difference in prices doesn’t mean that one is better than the other, they simply come from different sellers who price them differently.

I would rule these out. IGI lab is weaker than GIA or AGS and they inflate the grades.

The depth % is on the upper edge of what we recommend, but it should be fine. The diamond has very nice specs otherwise. If you like it, go for it, it’s a great option.

I placed the order!

Thank you for the help.

I’m glad I could help you.
