Lab Grown Diamonds & Engagement Rings in New York, NY

Engagement rings and lab grown diamonds, for New York

Our New York office is one of three, with Chicago and Portland, Maine, and it sits in the city where every 2N piece is bench-made. That matters here: a ring for a Manhattan proposal or a Brooklyn wedding is made a short subway ride from where it will be worn, inspected and photographed in Quality Control, and handed to the courier with its IGI report.

New York buys diamonds the way it buys everything, quickly and with high standards. So every listing shows the exact stone, its IGI certificate number, its cut, colour and clarity, and a whole-dollar price. From the Upper East Side to Park Slope, Long Island to Jersey City, you can compare stones by video with our concierge before you choose.

Proposal ideas

Where New York proposes

Six settings we would choose, from Central Park to the Hudson.

Central Park

Bow Bridge, Central Park

A cast-iron bridge over the Lake, with the towers of Central Park West rising above the trees.

Our tip: Go early on a weekday morning, before the crowds and the rowboats.

Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 105th Street

Conservatory Garden

Six acres of formal gardens in Italian, French and English styles, the quietest corner of Central Park.

Our tip: Spring for the crabapple allées, autumn for the chrysanthemums.

Brooklyn waterfront

Brooklyn Bridge Park

Lawns and piers along the East River, with the Brooklyn Bridge overhead and Lower Manhattan across the water.

Our tip: At sunset the Manhattan skyline turns to silhouette across the river.

Manhattan’s West Side

The High Line

A park planted with grasses and perennials on a former elevated freight line, above the streets of Chelsea.

Our tip: Go early, before it fills, and choose a quiet stretch between the crowds.

Rockefeller Center

Top of the Rock

The observation decks at Rockefeller Center, with Central Park to the north and the Empire State Building to the south.

Our tip: Book a timed ticket for the hour before sunset.

Riverdale, the Bronx

Wave Hill

Public gardens on an estate overlooking the Hudson River and the Palisades.

Our tip: A calm choice on a weekday, far from the Midtown crowds.

Hours, tickets and photography rules change. Check with NYC Parks or the venue before you plan, and ask our concierge to time delivery so the ring arrives a few days ahead.

Engagement ring notes for New York

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

Wearing it in New York

Subway poles, turnstiles and gym bags are hard on prongs; a bezel or low setting suits a city where your hands are always busy.
Winter wind and dry radiator heat shrink fingers; summer humidity swells them. Size late in the day, indoors.
Commuting with a ring? Turn it palm-in on a crowded train.

Care between the seasons

Road salt and city grit dull a stone fast. Warm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush bring it back.
Ask our concierge for a setting check each spring, after a winter of gloves and coats.

Insurance in New York

Homeowners and renters policies often cap jewelry; a scheduled rider covers the full value, including loss.
Your IGI report and 2N invoice are the documents insurers ask for.

The New York Chronicles

Short stories and guides for New York.

The trade

Forty-Seventh Street, and the bench behind the window

For generations, New York has bought its diamonds on West 47th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, the Diamond District, where the trade works in upstairs offices and the best of it deals in documents, not adjectives.

We spent twenty years on the other side of the window, making fine jewelry for, and selling diamonds to, the largest jewelers in New York. 2N is that same bench and the same stones, sold direct: every diamond IGI certified, held to Ideal cut with Excellent polish and symmetry, and photographed as the exact stone you receive.

The city

A proposal in five boroughs

New York offers a setting for every kind of proposal: the Bow Bridge at first light, a formal garden at 105th Street, the skyline from a Brooklyn pier, or the Hudson from the gardens of Wave Hill.

Choose the place first, then the season. Spring and autumn are kindest for outdoor plans; on a winter evening, a quiet table or an observation deck above the lights may suit you better. Our concierge will time the insured delivery so the ring is in hand with days to spare.

The season

A ring for four seasons in New York

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.
