The transparent planes can show a diffused cloudiness that scattered sparkle would conceal. Individual stone verification is recommended.
More cautious approach is warranted than with brilliant cuts. The hexagon's step-cut-like transparency means any milkiness from medium fluorescence appears across clear, flat planes rather than being diffused by sparkle. At 2 carats, most medium fluorescence stones are fine, but the hexagon's revealing nature makes verification more important.
Not necessarily, but verify carefully. The hexagon is one of the more revealing shapes for fluorescence effects. At 2 carats, a confirmed-clean medium fluorescence hexagon offers good value. But unlike a round brilliant where medium fluorescence is almost always invisible, the hexagon's transparency warrants individual stone inspection.
A 2 carat hexagon the broad flat shape provides good finger coverage relative to carat weight. With medium fluorescence, noticeable blue glow under UV light, rarely visible in natural daylight. 2 carat natural diamonds are a wonderful spot and are well above the average natural diamond size. When looking for 2 carat natural diamonds, look between 1.9 to 2.2 carats so that you give yourself the best selection which will help find the best value.
