A 2 carat round is about 8.1 to 8.2 millimeters across.
It is not twice the diameter of a 1 carat. Area grows faster than diameter, so a 2 carat looks substantially larger than a 1 carat (6.4 mm) without being twice as wide. On the hand it is a large center.
A 1.80–1.90 ct stone sits just under the 2 carat price step and can be within about 0.3 mm of a true 2.00 ct. The 2 carat pages on Carat Mate use a narrow window around 2 carats so the listings match the search.
Ovals and pears at 2 carats look longer still. Check depth: a very deep 2 carat faces up closer to a 1.7 carat.
