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

Lab diamonds are grown using two methods: HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature), which replicates the conditions deep in the earth, and CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition), which builds the diamond carbon layer by layer from a gas. Both produce diamonds that are physically and chemically identical to mined stones.

18k white gold contains less nickel than 14k because it has a higher gold content and less alloy. This makes it somewhat gentler on sensitive skin, though it is not fully nickel-free. If you have a diagnosed nickel allergy, platinum or palladium are safer options since they contain no nickel at all.

The princess cut's sharp, angular lines pair naturally with the clean surface of 18k white gold. At 2 carats, the square profile delivers concentrated fire and a bold, modern feel. The higher purity of 18k gold makes the band slightly softer than 14k, so a sturdy setting style like a four-prong or bezel is a smart choice.

Generally yes. Princess cuts are cut to retain more carat weight from the rough stone, meaning their face-up surface area is slightly larger than a round of the same weight. The square shape also spreads across the finger differently than a round, creating a bold, prominent appearance that many people find visually striking.

Do Amore combines high-purity 18k white gold with a 2 carat princess cut lab diamond that delivers sharp, concentrated fire through its pavilion facets. The princess cut's square profile maximizes carat weight in its face-up area.
