A finished 2 carat lab ring is two prices added together. The settings in the table cost $605 to $1,385 in 14K white gold, and most lab grown stones between 1.90 and 2.10 carats cost $1,250 to $2,100, so most complete rings land at about $1,860 to $3,480. The median stone is $1,570. With a natural center of the same size the rings come to about $7,060 to $23,400. The full catalog of 691 settings runs from $480 to $5,195.
Complete 2 carat engagement ring prices by setting, October 21, 2026: the setting price plus the middle half of 1.90 to 2.10 ct center stone prices (25th to 75th percentile, all shapes)
| Setting, 14K white gold | Setting alone | Complete ring, lab grown 2 carat center | Complete ring, natural 2 carat center |
|---|---|---|---|
| Linda comfort fit solitaire | $605 | $2,020 to $2,380 | $9,430 to $17,500 |
| Marigold six prong | $690 | $2,100 to $2,460 | $9,510 to $17,600 |
| Vivian solitaire | $935 | $2,350 to $2,710 | $9,760 to $17,800 |
| Hayden curved vine | $1,075 | $2,490 to $2,850 | $9,900 to $17,900 |
| Kennedy pavé | $1,370 | $2,780 to $3,140 | $10,200 to $18,200 |
| Bellora hidden halo | $1,385 | $2,800 to $3,160 | $10,200 to $18,300 |
In the 1.90 to 2.10 carat band the least expensive stone is $685 with savings applied, and the median is $1,574. A two carat lab grown diamond cut as a round starts at the same $685 but has a lower median of $1,437. Rare Carat sets whichever of the 151,374 stones in stock today you choose into one of the 670 or more 2 carat lab grown diamond engagement ring designs shown on this page. Of those stones, 130,652 come with 360 HD video. Most of the designs are shown with a 2 carat lab round. Priced that way in 14K white gold, each a complete 2 carat lab grown engagement ring with the stone included, the Linda comfort fit solitaire comes to $1,405, the Vivian solitaire to $1,735 and the Bellora hidden halo to $2,185. The 2 ct counts and prices were read from inventory on October 16, 2026 and are kept current.
A round of two carats measures about 8.1 mm across, which is the size at which a ring gets noticed from the other side of a table. In lab grown that size now costs a fraction of what it did a few years back. With the stone included, most of the complete rings here come in at four figures. The next table prices the center of a 2 carat lab grown engagement ring shape by shape.
From the round's $1,437 median to the oval's $1,827 is the whole range of medians at this weight, with the round the least expensive shape and the oval the most. Because the elongated outlines face up larger than a round of equal weight, an oval, pear or marquise of this weight puts more diamond on the finger, even though each of them costs a little more than the round at the median. Rounds make up 47,317 of the 151,374 stones in the band and carry that $1,437 median, and the marquise is the second deepest pool at 21,026. The rows of the shape table divide up one pool of stock, so they add back to the headline count. Clicking a shape takes you to its own lab ring page, where these same designs are shown holding a two carat stone of that shape.
Shape by shape, 151,374 lab grown 2 carat stones (1.90 to 2.10 ct) at today's prices, October 16, 2026
| Shape | Starts at | Median | In stock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round | $685 | $1,437 | 47,317 |
| Princess | $805 | $1,580 | 9,288 |

Below the carat mark the median is $1,436 and above it the median is $1,580, and the two groups differ a great deal in stock: there are 15,397 stones between 1.90 and 1.99 carats against 135,977 between 2.00 and 2.10. On rounds with the grade held at D to F and VS2 or better, the lighter group has a median of $1,301 and the heavier one $1,538. That is a saving of $237 for a difference in diameter nobody can see. In lab grown that is a small amount of money, which is why most buyers go with the round number.
Lab grown stones on either side of 2 carats, every shape, plus rounds at one held grade, October 16, 2026
| Band | All shapes in stock | All shapes median | Rounds at held grade, median |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.90 to 1.99 ct | 15,397 | $1,436 | $1,301 |
| 2.00 to 2.10 ct | 135,977 | $1,580 | $1,538 |
| 1.90 to 2.10 ct | 151,374 | $1,574 |
With clarity held at VS2 or better, a G color round starts at $925 and a D at $1,085. That gap is what the top color grade costs at this weight, and 94 percent of the two carat lab rounds on the color ladder are D to F anyway. Clarity behaves the same way once color is held at D to F, with VS1 starting at $1,135 and VVS2 at $1,270. Grades a natural buyer would agonize over cost far less here than in natural, so the sensible 2 carat lab diamond engagement ring is D to F, VS1 or better and Excellent cut. You can put the saving into the setting and the weight instead.

The widest gap anywhere on the page is the one between origins: a two carat round of G color and VS1 clarity starts at $945 lab grown and $8,640 natural. Across every shape the band medians are $1,574 against $12,406. The natural stone is the scarce one: the natural band holds 17,209 stones against 151,374 lab, and 14,562 of those 17,209 natural stones carry GIA reports. The lab stone gives you equal size and equal sparkle for a fraction of the price. The 2 carat natural diamond engagement rings page prices these same designs with natural stones.
Lab against natural, 2 ct rounds of 1.90 to 2.10 ct at the same grade, October 16, 2026
| Grade | Lab grown from | Natural from | Natural median |
|---|---|---|---|
| G color, VS1 | $945 | $8,640 | $17,340 |
| H color, SI1 | $885 | $6,220 | $14,192 |

A 2 carat lab grown diamond engagement ring calls for a band no thinner than 2 mm if the proportions are to hold, and a head with six prongs or a double prong for security. The basket should be tall enough that a wedding band sits flush against it. Cathedral settings carry the height well, and lab pricing leaves room for a heavier band and more metal. A halo around a two carat lab stone is optional, and most buyers leave it off.
Measured face up, a 2 ct round is about 8.1 mm, an oval 10 x 7.5 mm, an emerald cut 8.5 x 6.5 mm and a cushion 7.5 x 7 mm. The elongated shapes therefore read larger at the same weight, and a two carat lab oval or pear set on a slim band looks bigger than anything else at this price. Every design on this page is pictured as a 2 carat lab diamond engagement ring with a round center in 14K white gold. Each one also comes in platinum, yellow gold and rose gold around whichever stone you choose. Our gemologists earn no commission, and you can reach them by chat or phone to put your 2 ct finalists side by side on video.
Among the first designs shown, the spread runs from $1,405 for the Linda comfort fit solitaire to $2,185 for the Bellora hidden halo. Both carry the same default center, a 2 carat lab round in 14K white gold, so that difference is entirely the setting. The grid prices every design as a complete ring with that default center in place, which means every number below is a ring price, diamond included. Choose any of the 151,374 lab grown diamonds in the band instead and the 2 carat lab grown diamond engagement ring is repriced around your stone. Between this page and the natural page, the only difference is the stone.

Stone counts and prices take in every lab grown diamond of 1.90 to 2.10 carats that Rare Carat had in inventory on October 16, 2026. The filters match the diamond grids: with or without video, D to K color, FL to SI2 clarity, Good cut or better, and GIA, IGI or GCAL graded. That comes to 151,374 lab grown stones (130,652 of them with 360 HD video), with 17,209 natural stones pulled in for the comparison. Prices are today's after savings, and the regular price is shown struck through on each stone. Where a row gives a starting price, that is its cheapest stone regardless of grade or weight. Ring prices are the complete rings this page showed on October 17, 2026, in 14K white gold with the named center stone. The design count is taken from the page itself. For the color ladder, the clarity ladder and the grade comparison we used rounds within the band, because on rounds it is grade and not shape that sets the price.
