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.
Mine is a three stone ring...center is 1.52 and the sides are .25 each.

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.
I dont think they would be offened, its like some of us have $100,000 weddings and some have $10,000 weddingseither way we love hearing all the details about them regardless of the cost.

I don't think its so much being offended, but maybe jealous? I am not sure if thats the correct word?
I am not going to say anything anymore because I don't want any drama.
I undertsand everyone's point of view but if u read the original post, it was a poll based on what it said to the be AVERAGE SIZE. Thats why its about size. No matter what size a ring is it has its own value to its ownder. If my man gave me a ring out of a crackerjackbox i would love him and it all the same.. but everyone was simply aswering the question.

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 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![]()

I agree completely. Why is posting and asking questions about rings any different from posting and asking questions about gowns, flowers, favors, etc. It all pertains to weddings which is what this site is all about! JMHO![]()

Because certain things are different. Threads about rating your hall causes drama. Starting threads about why you hate certain photographers, videographers and florists are uncalled for. Yes we are here to give advice and share opinions, but I think it's about doing so in a tactful manner. Posting a picture of your ring leaves it to the imagination what your 'ring size' is. This was meant to be a poll. It could be anonymous. No one needs to post carat size and like posted by a bride before me, no one has mentioned that there carat is less than .5. Why do you think? JMO
Also I suggested an amethyst centerstone & an eternity band alternating my birthstone, diamond , his birthstone, b/c I think it's so crazy for us to spend $$ on a piece of jewelery when we don't even own a home.. yet. FH didn't agree

It's what I always wanted!
Who cares if there's drama if you state how you feel about something? I don't live my life walking on eggshells, so if there's something someone wants to say, she should just say it.
