Engagement rings and lab grown diamonds, for Charlotte

Charlotte 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. Charlotte, the Queen City, grew up with gold in its history, and it knows the value of things that last. 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 Charlotte

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 Charlotte

  • 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 Charlotte Chronicles

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

The city

A gold town

North Carolina’s gold rush began in 1799 at what is now Reed Gold Mine, and in 1837 the United States opened a branch mint in Charlotte to coin the region’s gold.

Gold is still the heart of fine jewelry. Choose 14K or 18K yellow, white or rose gold for a made-to-order piece, bench-made in New York and delivered to Charlotte fully insured.

The guide

Planning a Charlotte 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 Freedom Park, Romare Bearden Park or Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden.

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 Charlotte

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 Charlotte?

Size at room temperature, late in the day. Fingers swell in Charlotte’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.
