If people don't like the question... they shouldn't answer it- no need to be offended...

When we were ring hunting it helped me to know the sizes/shapes of other people's rings to help me find what I wanted... there was never any judgment...

Mine is 1.5 cushion cut with micropave band...


ETA: It's not like we don't post pics of our rings...



I have almost the same exact ring (right down to the carat!) And I am OBSESSED with it

But there is so much more to a diamond than the size... A 1 carat flawless, colorless, GIA certified, etc can look so much nicer than and cost as much as a 4 carat piece of garbage.

Re: How many carats is your engagement ring?

Mine is a Pear 2.14 center. its has a round and square baget on each side at about .88.

So the whole thing is just over 3 carats.

The center stone was his mom's original stone which makes it really meaningful.

The center stone is a .5 and I think the total weight of the ring is around 1.00. It is the perfect size for me because I have midget hands and anything bigger would have looked funny.

I opened this thread fully expecting some MAJOR but it seems like we are all behaving ourselves....YAAAAAY!



Now, now, let's not go around expecting at every 'how big/how much' thread!!!!!

You are correct! I have a friend who always said her giant rock was a flawless diamond and when I went with her to get it appraised, it did not appraise well at all, It wasnt even close to flawless.

So long as you love your ring, thats all that matters!

Re: How many carats is your engagement ring?

I love my ring. It's exactly what I have always wanted. I sent my FH a picture of this ring 3 years ago just so he knew what kind of setting I liked. He saved that picture all of these years and had the ring made for me YAY

It's 2.31 round stone with 12 small round stones (6 on either side - just under .75ct) All prong set. Total weight just over 3 ct. It's so sparkly! I absolutely love it.

It doesn't matter how big it is, or what shape, setting, or anything. Everyone has their own taste and if you love your ring, that's all that matters.

Re: How many carats is your engagement ring?

to be honest, I have no idea how much the ring is weighted all together but the center stone is 1.13 or some odd number like that. It's awesome.

Re: How many carats is your engagement ring?

I have a 2.53 round center stone, with .80 paves on the band.

I can't seem to find a wedding band to go with it though, so will probably move it over to my right hand after the wedding.
