This one is solid gold throughout, hallmarked, and built around a certified stone. The marquise outline was chosen because it carries weight visually - at 2.0 carat it reads larger than a round stone of the same weight. See the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\"\u003ediamond collection\u003c\/a\u003e for other shapes and carat weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Problem\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou have probably found the same thing everyone else does when they start looking. A natural diamond at the size you actually want costs more than you planned, and the stones inside your budget look smaller in person than they did online. Most people end up choosing between the size they wanted and the price they can justify.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Solid Gold Changes Everything\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is where lab grown changes the arithmetic. The stone is diamond, not an imitation, and it wears exactly like a mined one. What changes is the price per carat, which is why buyers routinely move up a full carat without moving their budget. The setting is solid gold and hallmarked, so nothing about the ring is a shortcut. Every marquise cluster engagement ring we make is hallmarked and built to the same standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePicture This\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eImagine it on the hand rather than in the box. At 2.0 carat the stone is large enough to read across a room, and the marquise outline is what makes it recognisable. This is the version of the ring you pictured before you started worrying about price. A marquise cluster engagement ring is the piece people remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe questions below are the ones buyers ask most often before choosing a marquise cluster engagement ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much is a 2 carat lab grown diamond engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 2 carat lab grown solitaire starts from around £1,790 in 9ct gold and £2,370 in 18ct. The same stone as a natural diamond would sit between £12,000 and £20,000 at UK retail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a cluster engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cluster ring surrounds or accompanies the centre stone with a group of smaller diamonds set in a scattered pattern rather than a straight line. It gives more sparkle across the ring than a plain band at the same total carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a marquise cut diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA marquise is an elongated shape with pointed ends. It covers more finger than any other cut at the same carat weight, which is why it reads as the largest stone for the money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a lab grown diamond a real diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. A lab grown diamond is a real diamond, not a simulant. Cubic zirconia and moissanite are different materials; a lab grown diamond is diamond itself, and is certified as such.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between lab grown and natural diamonds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly the process of formation. A natural diamond forms underground over millions of years; a lab grown diamond is produced in weeks with the same crystal structure. Hardness, brilliance and chemical composition are identical. The price difference is three to five times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo lab grown diamonds have resale value?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLimited. Resale value for lab grown diamonds is markedly lower than for natural diamonds, and continues to fall as production costs drop. If you are buying an engagement ring as an investment, lab grown is not the right choice. Most people buy one to wear, not to sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShould I buy a lab grown diamond engagement ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt makes sense if you want a larger or cleaner stone for the same budget. It does not make sense if you are buying for investment, because resale value is low. For most buyers an engagement ring is a piece to wear rather than an asset to sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich gold carat should I choose - 9ct, 14ct or 18ct?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e9ct is the most common choice in the UK: it is harder, so it scratches less in daily wear, and it is the most affordable. 18ct gives a richer gold colour and is softer. 14ct sits between the two. All three are hallmarked.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Qutahia Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ 9 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658787463395,"sku":"101-10504-2-0-MQ-COL_YG-CT_9-LAB","price":2291.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ 14 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658787496163,"sku":"101-10504-2-0-MQ-COL_YG-CT_14-LAB","price":2675.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ 18 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658787528931,"sku":"101-10504-2-0-MQ-COL_YG-CT_18-LAB","price":2979.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Gold \/ 9 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658787561699,"sku":"101-10504-2-0-MQ-COL_WG-CT_9-LAB","price":2291.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Gold \/ 14 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658787594467,"sku":"101-10504-2-0-MQ-COL_WG-CT_14-LAB","price":2675.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Gold \/ 18 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658787627235,"sku":"101-10504-2-0-MQ-COL_WG-CT_18-LAB","price":2979.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Gold \/ 9 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658787660003,"sku":"101-10504-2-0-MQ-COL_RG-CT_9-LAB","price":2291.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Gold \/ 14 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658787692771,"sku":"101-10504-2-0-MQ-COL_RG-CT_14-LAB","price":2675.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose Gold \/ 18 ct \/ LAB","offer_id":49658787725539,"sku":"101-10504-2-0-MQ-COL_RG-CT_18-LAB","price":2979.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/7180\/8995\/files\/large_4011abdf-29ee-4a17-ad01-c8c692022c81.webp?v=1788324181","url":"https:\/\/qutahia.co.uk\/products\/marquise-lab-diamond-cluster-engagement-ring-2-0ct-101-10504-2-0-mq","provider":"Qutahia Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
