2 Carat Lab-Grown Diamond Studs: Prices Compared Across 7 Retailers (November 2026)
Short answer: on November 11, 2026, a 2.00 carat total weight pair of round lab-grown diamond studs in 14K gold ranged from $749 to $2,200 across seven US retailers. The spread comes down to three things you can check on any product page: the color and clarity grade, whether each stone has an independent grading report, and whether you are buying from the workshop or from a retail brand.

Prices and specifications were read from each retailer's own product page on November 11, 2026, for push-back studs in 14K white gold, before promotional codes. Where we could not confirm a grading report from the page, ask the retailer directly. Retailers change prices often and several were running holiday codes, so check the live page before you buy.

How to compare two pairs fairly
- Match the grades first. A D VS1 pair and an H SI pair are different products. Color runs D (colorless) to Z; clarity runs FL down through VS and SI. Compare like with like before you compare price.
- Ask for the report. From 1.00 ct per stone, each diamond should have its own independent grading report, with the report number laser-inscribed on the girdle. Here is how to verify one yourself.
- Read the return terms. Several large retailers include free return shipping. Ours are 30-day returns with a $75 insured return-label fee deducted from the refund. Factor that in.
- Check the size on the ear, not just the carat. A 2.00 ct pair is about 6.5 mm per diamond. See how each size looks on the ear.
