Might be rude to ask but how many CT's is your engagement ring? What is average?

FH and I are looking at e-rings together. The jeweler said about 3/4 Ct. Center stone is what most people get. What do you think? Also, feel free to post your e-ring pic. I know this blog has been done many times but I would like to see the pictures along with the sizes. Thanks Ladies!...

In 2016 - the average cost of an engagement ring was $4,478, and the average engagement ring has a center stone carat weight of just over one carat. 31% of brides have less than a carat!

    I'm curious, how do you know what carat your diamonds are?! I dont know how much my ring cost, I dont know it's carat, or it's officially clarity. All I know is, I love it!

    It's small, and there's a very small flaw inside that I can just about see if I squint, but I like that about it. It's very hard to spot, but I know it's there, and I know it's mine!

    Totally agree with the comments about a better quality diamond! A high grade diamond really sparkles!

    My center stone is 1/3 ct. But it wouldn't be any more beautiful or less beautiful if it was larger OR smaller. All that matters is that my FH bought it as a symbol of our love and committment. He plans on increasing the center stone on our 1 year wedding anniversary but I could care less if he does or doesn't! I love my ring.

    Check out this article about the "Average Engagement Ring" according to a survey by The Knot. I thought the average was high, what do you think?
