Albuquerque, New Mexico

Engagement rings and lab grown diamonds, for Albuquerque

Albuquerque is served by our Chicago office, one of our three with New York and Portland, Maine, and every 2N piece is bench-made in New York. Albuquerque lives in high desert light, clear enough to show exactly how well a diamond is cut. So we answer with documents rather than adjectives: an IGI report for every diamond, photographs of the exact piece, and a price at least 45% below boutique.

Choose a finished Signature piece that ships as shown, commission an Atelier piece in your metal and size, or design your own through The BESPOKEN Atelier. Behind all of it: access to over a million diamonds, held to our house standard of Ideal cut with Excellent polish and symmetry.

Engagement ring notes for Albuquerque

The styles of the moment, and how they wear here.

Styles of the moment

  • Elongated shapes, oval, emerald, pear and elongated cushion, which look larger for their carat weight.
  • Low and bezel settings for hiking and an outdoor life, and open settings that let desert light into the diamond.
  • Yellow gold, back alongside platinum and white gold.
  • East-west settings and two-stone toi et moi rings.

Sizing through the seasons

  • Desert heat swells fingers by day and cool nights shrink them, so size indoors at room temperature, late in the day.
  • Don’t measure right after time outdoors in the afternoon heat.
  • Use our ring sizer, or ask our concierge to send one before you choose.
  • Signature pieces ship exactly as shown, in the size listed. Atelier pieces are made to order in your size.

Insurance

  • Standard homeowners and renters policies often cap jewelry theft at a modest amount.
  • A scheduled rider or a dedicated jewelry policy covers the full value, including loss.
  • Your IGI report and your 2N invoice are the documents insurers ask for.

Care in Albuquerque

  • Fine desert dust settles into settings; clean with warm water, a little mild soap and a soft brush.
  • Take rings off for hiking and climbing, where rock can knock a setting.

The Albuquerque Chronicles

Short stories and guides for Albuquerque, from our Chicago office.

The city

Balloons at dawn

Each October, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta fills the morning sky with hundreds of hot-air balloons rising over the Rio Grande valley.

It is a sight that stays with you, and so should a ring. Every 2N piece is bench-made in New York and delivered to Albuquerque fully insured, with its IGI certificate.

The guide

Planning a Albuquerque proposal

Autumn, winter and spring are the comfortable seasons for an outdoor proposal; in summer, plan for sunrise or after sunset. Here, we would look first at Sandia Peak Tramway, ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden or Petroglyph National Monument.

Whatever you choose, plan the ring first: order a few weeks ahead, or a little more for a piece made to order, and our concierge will time the insured delivery so it arrives with days to spare.

The season

A ring for desert light

Desert days swell fingers and cool nights shrink them, so size indoors at room temperature, late in the day. If you are between sizes, our concierge will help you choose.

Clear, strong light is a diamond’s best friend, which is why an Ideal cut matters so much here. Keep it bright with a gentle wash in warm water and mild soap, and take it off before a hike or a climb.

Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. A lab grown diamond is a real diamond, the same carbon crystal with the same hardness and fire as a mined stone. Only its origin differs. Every 2N diamond is graded and certified by the IGI, and the report travels with it.

What standard does 2N hold its diamonds to?

Our house standard is Ideal cut with Excellent polish and Excellent symmetry, and every diamond is IGI certified. With access to over a million diamonds, we can find the stone that fits your shape, size and budget.

Which ring size should I choose in Albuquerque?

Size indoors at room temperature, late in the day, and not right after time out in the heat. If you are between sizes, our concierge will help you choose. Atelier pieces are made to order in your size.

What is your return policy?

It depends on the collection. Pieces from The 2N Signature Collection may be returned within 30 days for in-house credit. Loose diamonds are final sale, and Private, Atelier and Bespoke pieces are made or reserved for you and cannot be returned.
