A 2N diamond fortune for Charleston
Charleston, South Carolina

Engagement rings and lab grown diamonds, for Charleston

Charleston 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. Charleston is a city of old houses, gardens and good manners, and it chooses jewelry to be passed down. 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 Charleston

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.
  • Open, airy settings that are comfortable in the heat, and low settings for everyday wear.
  • Yellow gold, back alongside platinum and white gold.
  • East-west settings and two-stone toi et moi rings.

Sizing through the seasons

  • Heat and humidity make fingers swell, so size in air conditioning or at room temperature, late in the day.
  • Don’t measure right after time outdoors on a hot afternoon.
  • 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.
Jewelry insurance →

Care in Charleston

  • Take rings off at the pool; chlorine is hard on gold over time.
  • Sunscreen and lotion leave a film that dulls a diamond. Clean with warm water, a little mild soap and a soft brush.

The Charleston Chronicles

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

The city

The pineapple

In Charleston, the pineapple is a symbol of welcome, carved on gateposts and celebrated in the fountain at Waterfront Park.

Welcome is how a ring should feel too. Every 2N piece is bench-made in New York and delivered to Charleston fully insured, with its IGI certificate.

The guide

Planning a Charleston proposal

Autumn through spring is the most comfortable time for an outdoor proposal; in high summer, choose early morning or an evening after the heat breaks. Here, we would look first at Waterfront Park, The Battery and White Point Garden or Angel Oak.

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 a long Charleston summer

Heat and humidity make fingers swell, so a ring sized on a hot afternoon can feel loose on a cool morning. Size indoors, at room temperature, late in the day, and if you are between sizes, our concierge will help you choose.

Sunscreen, lotion and pool water are a diamond’s quiet enemies. A gentle wash with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush brings back the fire, and taking the ring off before a swim keeps the gold at its best.

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 Charleston?

Size indoors at room temperature, late in the day, and not right after time outdoors 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.
