Engagement rings and lab grown diamonds, for Baltimore

Baltimore is served by our New York office, one of our three with Chicago and Portland, Maine, and every 2N piece is bench-made in New York. Baltimore keeps its craft close, from the marble steps of its rowhouses to the working harbor. 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 Baltimore

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.
  • Bezel and low settings, which sit close to the finger and wear easily every day.
  • Yellow gold, back alongside platinum and white gold.
  • East-west settings and two-stone toi et moi rings.

Sizing through the seasons

  • Fingers swell in humid summer heat and shrink in winter cold, so size at room temperature, late in the day.
  • Don’t measure right after a summer run or coming in from the cold.
  • 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 Baltimore

  • Take rings off before the gym, the garden or the pool; chlorine is hard on gold over time.
  • Clean with warm water, a little mild soap and a soft brush, then dry well.

The Baltimore Chronicles

Short stories and guides for Baltimore, from our New York office.

The city

Charm City, and the art of the charm

Baltimore became Charm City in 1974, in a campaign to bring visitors downtown. Its emblem was a charm bracelet, and the idea was that every attraction would add its own charm to the chain.

Charms are still one of the most personal ways to wear fine jewelry: one piece at a time, each for a reason. Whatever you choose, from a Signature pendant to a made-to-order Atelier bracelet, it is bench-made in New York and travels with its IGI certificate.

The guide

Planning a Baltimore proposal

Spring and autumn are the easiest seasons for an outdoor proposal; summer evenings work well once the heat of the day has passed. Here, we would look first at Federal Hill Park, Sherwood Gardens or Cylburn Arboretum.

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 four seasons in Baltimore

A ring that fits on a humid August afternoon can feel loose on a cold January morning. Size at room temperature, late in the day, and if you are between sizes, our concierge will help you choose.

Through the seasons, low and bezel settings are the most practical for daily wear, while a high, open setting shows the diamond at its brightest. Either way, a quick look at the prongs every few months keeps the stone secure.

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 Baltimore?

Size at room temperature, late in the day. Fingers swell in Baltimore’s summer humidity and shrink in winter, so 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.
