What is the price of a 2-carat diamond?

Estimating the price of a diamond can be useful both before acquiring a diamond and before selling one. If you know the reference price of a 2-carat diamond before acquiring or selling it, you will avoid scams and ensure a good purchase or sale price. Find out how much a 2-carat diamond costs and how to explain the differences in value among diamonds of the same weight.

We guarantee the best prices for your 2-carat diamond; if you have a direct purchase offer from a competitor, we will not only match it but also commit to offering you a higher price.

How to estimate the value of a 2-carat diamond?

To estimate the value of a 2-carat diamond, you must base it on the following criteria:

• The type of diamond
• The grading report associated with the diamond and the laboratory that issued it
• The characteristics and quality of the diamond

Regarding the type of diamond, there are a few rules to know to avoid mistakes in estimating the value of a diamond:

• The round brilliant cut diamond is the most valuable. It will therefore cost more than a pear-shaped, cushion-cut, or princess-cut diamond with the same characteristics;
• A set diamond has less value than an investment diamond (a diamond that will not be mounted on a piece of jewelry);
• An old diamond is more valuable than a recently acquired diamond.

The second important criterion for estimating the value of a 2-carat diamond is the grading report associated with the diamond. Although many gemological laboratories worldwide can produce grading reports for diamonds, only a few of them are recognized as reliable. Thus, a diamond certified by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) will have the most value. Diamonds certified by the LFG (Laboratoire Français de Gemmologie), the IGI (International Gemological Institute) or the HRD will also have value; whereas diamonds certified by the AIG (Antwerp International Gemological Laboratories), which has a very poor reputation, will be valued at 0.

Finally, the characteristics of the diamond come into play to estimate its value, notably the 4Cs:

• The weight of the diamond (Carat)
• The cut of the diamond (Cut)
• The color of the diamond (Color)
• The clarity of the diamond (Clarity)

In other words, a colorless, well-cut, inclusion-free 2-carat diamond will be worth more than a diamond with a more tinted color, proportions less close to the ideal, and some inclusions.

Fluorescence, symmetry, and polish are other characteristics of the diamond that appear on the grading report and are therefore taken into account to estimate its value.

How much does a 2-carat diamond cost?

For a good quality-price ratio, a mid-range 2-carat diamond should cost between €18,000 and €21,000. Of course, this price range may vary depending on the characteristics of the diamond and the laboratory that certified it.

At Diamantaires Paris OG, we offer you high-end 2-carat diamonds between €22,983 and €56,970. All our 2-carat diamonds are certified by the GIA, round brilliant cut, with no fluorescence and Excellent symmetry, polish, and cut quality. We offer 2-carat diamonds with no internal inclusions (IF), or, for smaller budgets, 2-carat diamonds graded SI2 (Slightly Included 2), whose inclusions are not visible to the naked eye.

A mid-range 2-carat diamond typically costs between €18,000 and €21,000. At Diamantaires Paris OG, high-end 2-carat diamonds range from €22,983 to €56,970, all certified by the GIA.

The value is based on the type of diamond, the grading report (preference for GIA), and the diamond's characteristics (the 4Cs: Carat, Cut, Color, Clarity).

Round brilliant diamonds are the most highly valued. Set diamonds have less value than investment diamonds, and old diamonds are more precious than recent ones.

They use professional criteria, including type, characteristics (4Cs), and the grading report. They offer appraisals for vintage jewelry, investments in GIA diamonds, and the sale of diamond rings.
