Are Oval Diamonds Popular?
Oval diamonds are a very popular diamond shape. In fact, they are the most popular shape for VRAI created diamonds.

Are 2 Carats A Good Carat Weight For An Engagement Ring?
Most engagement rings are between 1-2 carats, with a 1 carat diamond ring considered the most common carat weight. However, a 2 carat diamond ring is an ideal carat weight for an engagement ring for those who prefer a bigger diamond ring, and who have a bigger budget.
How Large Does A 2 Carat Oval Diamond Appear?
Each Oval diamond can have different measurements with differing ratios that will affect how they look and the diamond size. The diamond 4Cs will also determine the appearance of 2 carat Oval diamonds. A higher diamond grade will result in a more brilliant Oval diamond.

A 2 carat Oval diamond will be more expensive than a 1.5 carat diamond of similar quality and will appear larger and more brilliant. The best carat weight for your ring, however, depends on your preferences and budget. If you’re on a budget, a lower carat weight will help lessen the total cost of your ring.
