Honolulu, Hawaii

Engagement rings and lab grown diamonds, for Honolulu

Honolulu 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. Honolulu lives in bright island light, which shows a well-cut diamond at its best. 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 Honolulu

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 warmth, and low settings for an active life.
  • Yellow gold, back alongside platinum and white gold.
  • East-west settings and two-stone toi et moi rings.

Sizing through the seasons

  • Warm, humid air keeps fingers slightly larger, so size in air conditioning at room temperature, late in the day.
  • Cold water and air conditioning shrink fingers; warm afternoons swell them.
  • 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 Honolulu

  • Take rings off before swimming in the ocean or the pool; salt water and chlorine are hard on gold, and rings slip off in the water.
  • Sunscreen leaves a film that dulls a diamond. Clean with warm water, a little mild soap and a soft brush.

The Honolulu Chronicles

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

The island

How Diamond Head got its name

Diamond Head, Le‘ahi, got its English name from nineteenth-century sailors who found glittering calcite crystals in its rocks and believed they were diamonds.

A real diamond needs a report, not a legend. Every 2N diamond is IGI certified, held to Ideal cut with Excellent polish and symmetry, and photographed as the exact stone you receive.

The guide

Planning a Honolulu proposal

The cooler, drier months are the most comfortable for an outdoor proposal; at any time of year, golden hour before sunset is kind to everyone. Here, we would look first at Diamond Head, Makapuu Point Lighthouse Trail or Magic Island, Ala Moana Beach Park.

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 the Honolulu sun

In warm, humid air, fingers stay a little fuller than in a cool room. Size in air conditioning at room temperature, late in the day, and if you are between sizes, our concierge will help you choose.

Salt water, chlorine and sunscreen are a diamond’s everyday enemies here. Take the ring off before a swim, and a gentle wash with warm water and mild soap brings back its fire.

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 Honolulu?

Size in air conditioning at room temperature, late in the day. Take rings off before swimming, since rings slip off in the water. 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.
