2 Carat Hexagon SI2 Lab Grown Diamonds

SI2 means 'Slightly Included 2,' with inclusions often visible to the naked eye. In a 2 carat hexagon, SI2 is the most challenging clarity grade because the shape's open, geometric faceting readily reveals inclusions. The broad, transparent planes provide clear views of internal features that brilliant cuts would conceal.

SI2 in a hexagon at 2 carats is the highest-risk standard clarity combination due to the shape's extreme transparency. Inclusions that would be barely noticeable in a round brilliant are clearly visible through the hexagon's geometric facets. Only consider SI2 if you can verify a specific stone and accept visible inclusions as part of the character.

The difference is dramatic. A round brilliant's scattered sparkle actively conceals inclusions, making many SI2 rounds eye-clean. The hexagon's open, step-cut-like facets do the opposite: they provide clear, unobstructed views into the interior. SI2 inclusions that are invisible in a round brilliant are often clearly visible in a hexagon.

A 2 carat SI2 hexagon natural diamond looks best in bezel settings that follow the hexagonal outline, minimalist prong designs, and modern geometric mounts. At 2 carats, the stone has good presence, so both minimalist and detailed settings work well. At SI2 clarity, inclusions easily seen under magnification, may be visible to the naked eye. The unique geometry requires a custom or semi-custom setting designed for the hexagonal outline. All Do Amore rings include free lifetime maintenance covering inspections, polishing, cleaning, stone tightening, rhodium plating, and resizing.
