What Is The Average Size Of A Diamond Engagement Ring?
Our jewelry store in Buffalo, NY, carries diamond engagement rings in a variety of cuts, styles and sizes to guarantee you find a ring that’s perfect for you and your partner. We know that you could describe all the wonderful qualities of your partner all day long, so when you visit our store, you’ll get to do just that. We want to hear about why you love your partner and want to spend your life with them so that we can help you choose a ring that best fits their one-of-a-kind personality.
But what ring size should you expect to get? What is the average size of an engagement ring? According to the folks at Ben Garelick Jewelers, the national average size of the center diamond in an engagement ring is 1.2 carats, while the total carats of all diamonds on the setting averages between 1.8 and 2 carats. While the carat is how much the stone actually weighs, the dimensions of the diamond all depend on the cut you select. As a general rule, 1 carat is about the equivalent to the size of a pencil eraser. This is about 0.256 inches, if numbers are your thing.
Does Cut And Shape Of The Diamond Engagement Ring Make A Difference?
The shape and cut of the diamond plays a huge role when it comes to how large or small the diamond will look when in the ring setting. If you go with the average diamond engagement ring size, a marquise diamond looks bigger than a round brilliant diamond.
