{"product_id":"2ct-princess-cut-solitaire-engagement-ring-14k-gold","title":"2ct Princess Cut Lab-Grown Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring – 14K Gold","description":"\u003ch2\u003e2 Carat Princess Cut Lab-Grown Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 2ct princess cut Lab-Grown Diamond, D–F color, VS+ clarity, IGI certified, held by four corner prongs on a plain polished band with a comfort-fit interior, in solid 14K gold. Made to order in 7 to 10 business days on my bench in Woodside, Queens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow big is a 2 carat princess cut?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout 7mm on each side, and roughly 9.9mm corner to corner across the diagonal. The diagonal is the number that matters, because your eye reads across the corners rather than along an edge. A 2ct round measures about 8.1mm across — so edge to edge the princess faces up smaller, but corner to corner it is nearly 2mm wider than any round of the same weight. On the hand it looks substantially larger than the side measurement suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy is a princess cut cheaper at 2 carats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause of how it comes out of the rough, and the saving gets bigger as stones get larger. Diamond rough forms as an octahedron and a princess cut is essentially half of one — two stones from a single piece with very little waste. A round brilliant throws away well over half the rough to reach its shape. Since large rough is the scarcest material in the trade, that efficiency compounds: at two carats the price gap between a princess and a round of matched quality is wider than it is at one. You are not paying less for a lesser stone. You are paying less for a shape that wastes less.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the prongs on the corners?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe corners are the thinnest, most chip-prone part of a princess cut, and the exposure grows with size — a 7mm square has more corner sticking out than a 5.5mm one. A prong on each one covers the vulnerable points and leaves all four faces open to light. It looks like the prongs are simply sitting at the widest points; the placement is doing protective work. An exposed corner is the most common way a princess cut gets damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat color and clarity is the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eD through F, the colorless range, and VS+ clarity, eye-clean at any angle. Princess cuts are brilliant-faceted like a round, so they hide inclusions better than a step cut such as an emerald — but the corners catch color, and at two carats there is considerably more stone for it to show in. Staying in D–F keeps all four points as white as the center. The IGI report ships with the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich wedding band fits it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA contoured band. There is a second gallery under the head — an extra rail of gold beneath the basket that carries the stone's weight and stops the prongs flexing over years of wear. It is why this head will still be tight in a decade, and most makers leave it out. It is also why a straight band will not seat: the band meets the gallery rather than the shank and stands off, leaving a gap under the stone. A curved band dips at the center, clears the gallery and nests flush. I make both to order, so tell me and I will cut the pair to meet properly — or start with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/curved-wedding-band-plain-contour\"\u003eplain contour band\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/curved-diamond-wedding-band-contour\"\u003epavé contour\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take, and can it be resized?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade to order in 7 to 10 business days, sizes 4 through 9 including halves. Resizing is complimentary within 60 days of delivery, craftsmanship carries a lifetime warranty, and you have 14 days to return it if it is not right and you have not had it engraved.
