Today I read that the average size of an engagement ring is .75 ct however another site says the average size is .18 ct. I guess they were polling 2 different states. So that made we wonder what the average size is in Long Island. Take the poll and we'll find out. COnsider the center stone only, not the total weight if you have more than 1 diamond.

I didn't think that so many people had such big center stones, I have 1.25 carot center stone, and I love it! I feel like mine looks big I can't imagine a 3 carot center stone!![]()

I hate it when people start post about ring size.
Especially since no one is mentioning the clarity. You can have a 3 ct cloudy ring thats the same price as a .75 ct ring almost perfect clarity.

We should re-name this post 'Brag about the size, color and clarity of your rock!'....Just kidding.....I never tell the size of my diamond because in all honesty, it doesn't matter....What matters is the thought and effort DH put into it!!! Remember girls, just because some people have smaller diamonds doesn't mean their DH/FH's love them any less than the girls with the bigger diamonds! To each his own!![]()

My ring is a 2.5 carat princess cut Lucida Tiffany Platinum Setting.
Alot of my friends had to help their FH pick it their rings but FH & I never shopped around for it but he knew what i wanted and its so special to me that he picked it all out by himself. I absolutely love my ring!!

Thats so true!! Thats why I hate these threads whenever they come up. I never post the size of mine either for the same reasons you stated. And you shouldn't say 'just kidding' because its true. This is a bragging thread, they always are.

I do not want to get anyone mad but I never understood why people were offended by these kinds of posts, stating what size your ring is has nothing to do with how much your hubby loves you, no one on here has ever knocked anyone because they had a small diamond its all about looking at pretty rings.

I wish I could vote, but I have no idea as to the size of the stone. This is the only piece of jewelery I wear, so i'm clueless when it comes to this kind of stuff. But there's a picture:

I agree whats the big deal - how is it bragging becuase you say the size. I dont care or hate on the ppl whose ring is bigger than mine. I am in Love with my ring and its beautiful to me, thats why I named her Princess![]()

Me three!!! I have long thin fingers, and anything larger than a 1 carat center stone just looked funny on my hand!!! Plus I want to be able to put my hands in my pockets without a problem!! So thank God mine is a .75 center stone!!
I couldn't care less if people think it's small because I happen to love it. It's an original style which is why I had such a PITA finding a band to match it!!

It is probably hard for those who aren't in the position to understand... when most of the gilrs here are posting they have 1ct or bigger and yours is .25 ct, it will make you feel not so great. Notice that no one here has posted about her .25 ct ring. Why do you think that is?
Look, I am not trying to start anything here, you all know I love all the LIW girls. I am just trying to put some things in perspective.
