Help is needed asap fellow friends! :shock: DH will be ordering a diamond and I cannot decide between a smaller stone .70 up to 1 carat.

My finger size is 6.5. We can save some money if we stay below the 1 carat mark.

What is the visual difference between a .75 to a 1 carat?. I see some are 5.4 and 1 carat is like 6.17 or so. :confused:


If there is any possible way for any of you to post a few pics to compare these sizes I would be SO APPRECIATIVE!!!!!!!! :wavey:

THANK YOU SO MUCH! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

.6 with .9, a difference a little greater than .75 to 1ct.
Rings are a 6.5, but finger is a size 6.

Hope this helps!

If you go under the 1ct mark, you still save, 1.0ct is the magic number which generates mark-up.
I use this site often to get a general idea of the diamond size differences:

Good luck in your search!! :)

The 1ct will look significantly larger than a .75ct. That would be my choice and my finger size is 4.5!

My ring is exactly a .74 carat round brilliant cut canadian conflict free solitaire on 19 K white gold ( 79 percent gold, the rest is alloyed with equal parts platinum and palladium) very strong/ very white, scratch resistant, chip resistant the newest metal. My fingr size is 7. Regarding the size of your diamond: It's not about the carat, but the Cut of the diamond and Clarity. THe other two don't matter when it comes to sparkle reflection. Hint: Never buy exact ( .75 or 1.00 carat weights, they increase the rarity hence the price skyrockets) stick to ' just under' ) and leave jewlers a 'range' emphasizing ' fire' to be of upmost importance.
