Engagement rings and lab grown diamonds, for San Francisco

San Francisco 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. San Francisco asks how things are made and where they come from, and it deserves clear answers. 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.

Where San Francisco proposes

A sandy beach with a close view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Our tip: Late afternoon; bring a layer for the wind.

Golden Gate Park

Conservatory of Flowers

A white Victorian glasshouse full of tropical plants.

Before you choose

Engagement ring notes for San Francisco

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

Sizing through the seasons

  • Mild weather keeps ring size steady most of the year; still, size at room temperature, late in the day.
  • Fingers swell after exercise and on hot days, so don’t measure then.
  • 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 San Francisco

  • Take rings off at the beach and the pool; sand scratches gold and rings slip off in cold ocean water.
  • Sunscreen leaves a film that dulls a diamond. Clean with warm water, a little mild soap and a soft brush.

The San Francisco Chronicles

Short stories and guides for San Francisco, from our Chicago office.

The city

The Tower of Jewels

At the Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915, the centerpiece was the Tower of Jewels, hung with tens of thousands of cut-glass jewels that shimmered in the wind and the searchlights.

A real diamond needs no tricks of the light. Every 2N diamond is held to Ideal cut with Excellent polish and symmetry, and its IGI report tells you exactly what you are buying.

The guide

Planning a San Francisco proposal

Almost any month works for an outdoor proposal here; golden hour before sunset gives the softest light. Here, we would look first at Palace of Fine Arts, Baker Beach or Conservatory of Flowers.

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 San Francisco days

Mild weather keeps ring size steadier here than in most of the country, but fingers still swell after a run or on a hot day. Size at room temperature, late in the day, and our concierge will help if you are between sizes.

Beach sand scratches gold and the Pacific is cold enough to shrink a finger, so a ring is safest off for a swim. A gentle wash with warm water and mild soap brings back the fire after sunscreen.

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 San Francisco?

Size at room temperature, late in the day, and not right after exercise. Take rings off in the cold ocean, where fingers shrink. 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.
