About 1.5 Carat Diamonds
Generally, the average engagement ring purchased in the U.S. has a center stone weighing between 1.08 and 1.2 carats. This doesn't mean that it is unusual for rings. Mostly, people go off of their finger size to determine the size of a stone they should get.
A 1.5 carat lab-grown diamond can have the same high quality as a mined diamond of the same size and specifications. The only difference between the two is their origin. Ultimately, the choice between a lab-grown and a mined diamond is a personal one and depends entirely on individual preferences and mindset.
A 1.5-carat diamond can cost between $5,000 and $35,000. The cost depends entirely on the quality of the stone and how well it is cut. Generally, the best value is somewhere between $8,000 and $12,000. With this, you can find a good balance of beauty, quality, and price.
To give you an idea of their size, round cut 2 carat diamonds are roughly around 8.00mm in size and weigh somewhere in the region of 400 milligrams. So overall, bigger and heavier than the 1.5 carats which is around 7.25mm in diameter, making the 2-carat larger but not by a big margin! But because of the larger surface area of 2 carat diamonds, when flashing your ring, people will see 50% more diamond in the 2-carat ring. For an even bigger size, explore our 2.5 carat diamonds as well.
Professional jewelers and gemologists cannot really tell the difference between a lab grown diamond and a natural one just by looking at it, with the naked eye. They have to use a microscope to look for the minute differences in its inclusions, that tell how it was formed.
We, at dimend SCAASI, have a team of expert gemologists that can help you find the best 2 Carat Diamonds in Chicago.
Why Choose Lab-Diamonds?
Lab created diamonds (also known as man-made diamonds, and cultured diamonds), are pure, crystallized carbon diamonds grown in a controlled laboratory environment. They have the exact same physical, chemical, and optical properties as earth-mined diamonds. They are also graded on the same scale as earth-mined diamonds and come with a grading report/certificate.
ECO FRIENDLY
Lab-grown diamonds require less space and resources to produce stones than that of the monolith mines that wreak havoc on local ecosystems.
VALUE
Lab-grown diamonds offer excellent value and are 30-50% more affordable than mined diamonds of comparable size and quality.
CONFLICT-FREE
Lab-grown diamonds never fund foreign conflict. Further, work conditions are carefully regulated and never exploit child laborers.
