2 Carat Marquise Cut 18k White Gold Lab Diamond Ring+ 2.0-Carat Marquise Lab Created Diamond

Yes. The FTC updated its definition of diamond in 2018 to remove the word natural, recognizing that lab diamonds meet every scientific criterion to be called a diamond. They are not simulants, not imitations, and not glass. They are diamonds, grown in a lab rather than mined from the ground.

18k white gold contains 75% pure gold versus 58.3% for 14k. It has a softer, warmer base metal and a more premium feel, but it is more prone to surface scratches because of the higher gold content. The rhodium plating on both looks nearly identical when new, so the difference in daily appearance is minimal until the plating wears. Do Amore offers free maintenance services on white gold.

The marquise's elongated, pointed shape creates the largest face-up area of any cut at 2 carats, and 18k white gold's bright, high-purity finish provides a premium frame that does not distract from the stone. The marquise's brilliant-cut facets produce exceptional fire, and at 2 carats the effect is dramatic. A V-prong at each pointed end protects the tips, and the 18k alloy is strong enough to hold them securely.

Significantly. The marquise's long, narrow silhouette is one of the most elongating shapes available. Worn with the points along the length of the finger, it creates a dramatic visual extension that makes fingers appear longer and more slender. This is one of the primary reasons the shape remains popular for engagement rings. Sitting just above the current average, 2 carats strikes a balance between making a statement and maintaining everyday wearability.

Do Amore's 2ct marquise lab diamond in 18k white gold is chosen by couples who want luxury, presence, and purpose in one ring. The premium 75% gold content provides a richer setting, and the marquise cut's elongated brilliance at 2 carats creates a dramatic silhouette on the finger. This lab-grown diamond is conflict-free with the same composition as a mined stone. Do Amore was the only engagement ring company on Shark Tank and continues to fund clean water worldwide.
