2 Carat Princess Cut 18k Yellow Gold Moissanite Ring+ 2.0-Carat Princess Forever One Moissanite

Moissanite scores 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the hardest gemstones available. Only diamonds score higher at 10. For an engagement ring worn daily, moissanite is highly resistant to scratching and chipping, and holds up exceptionally well over time. A 2 carat stone offers the kind of presence that draws compliments. It is above average in size but not so large that it feels impractical for daily wear.

If the deeper color and premium gold content justify the higher cost and slightly reduced durability for your lifestyle, 18k is a beautiful choice.

A 2 carat stone sits just a touch above the average diamond size in the US over the last two years. It gives the impression of slightly larger than average without looking too big or gaudy, making it a sweet spot for couples who want presence without excess. A lab-grown 2 carat stone of comparable cut, color, and clarity can be found for $1,500 to $4,000. The savings are substantial, which is why 2 carat lab diamonds have become one of the most popular upgrades couples make when they discover lab-grown options.

It is above average in size but not so large that it feels impractical for daily wear.
