IS A 2 CARAT DIAMOND CONSIDERED BIG?

THE ANSWER

Yes. A 2 carat diamond is well above average. Most engagement ring diamonds sit between 0.5 and 1 carat. A 2 carat stone is two to four times larger than what most people wear. A well-cut round brilliant at 2 carats measures about 8.1 mm across. That is a noticeable stone on any hand. People will see it. People will comment. It makes a strong visual impact without being over the top. Whether it feels big depends on your finger size. On a size 4 finger, it looks massive. On a size 8, it looks bold but balanced. Either way, 2 carats is firmly in the large category.
