What Are the Pros and Cons of Buying a Two Carat Natural Diamond Ring?

We know that there is a lot to think about as you decide whether to buy a two carat natural diamond ring. Here's what you need to know so that you can make a smart and educated purchase. 

Pros

The most apparent benefit of buying a ring with a two-carat natural diamond is that it is an impressive stone! A diamond of this size has an outline large enough that everyone will notice it, but it isn't so big that it is cumbersome. Carat weight describes how heavy a diamond is, so depending on how the stone is cut, individual gems will have a range of sizes. However, to give you an idea of what to expect, a well-cut two-carat round diamond will have a diameter of about 8mm. 

Another benefit is your natural diamond will have good resale value. Fortunately, all Blue Nile diamonds come with a GIA grading report. This document lists all of the details about your diamond, including a declaration that it is a natural stone. 

Cons

Two carat natural diamonds are beautiful, but they are expensive. A search of Blue Nile's inventory will show that two carat stones cost about five times the amount of comparable one carat gems. 

Another potential problem is that the size of a two-carat diamond is impressive, so much so that it may be impractical for individuals whose lifestyle is rough on the hands, such as medical professionals. You don't want to be at work and have your diamond snag on something.
