gwendolyn Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,544 Last Post: 11/12/2009 Member Since: 8/4/2007	I realize only a small percentage of posters will respond to this thread probably, but I was wondering if everyone with an engagement ring would post the exact carat weight of it and specify if it's a diamond or other stone, just to get an idea of the actual average size around here. We talk about it a lot, but as far as I can tell, an actual attempt to get a hard number hasn't happened yet (or at least recently). So, please post your numbers so I can do the math! If you have a setting with diamonds in it, can you give me your solitaire carat weight and total carat weight separately? I'll do two different averages for those. Oh--and I am not engaged yet, so there's no stone for me. Hmmm...maybe when the time comes, I will be evil and show this thread to J to say what the average stone size is... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UK Wedding: April ?th, 2010 US Reception: May 30th, 2010!

I think its total about 70pts - I'm sorry I don't have the breakdown as I lost the original ppwk But the centre one is maybe 10-15pts larger than the side two..? Sorry I didn't have better info!

Girlrocks Cut Rock Total Posts: 449 Last Post: 11/12/2009 Member Since: 7/19/2006	My original e-ring is a 1.29ct round solitaire. My 10 year ring is a 3 stone, 1.25 (approx, I think it's 1.27 to be exact, almost the exact size of my e-ring, but lower color) with .52 and .54 sapphire side stones. All rounds. Girlrocks

Catmom Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,756 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 4/6/2005	Hi Gwendolyn, I think there might have been a poll taken about this awhile ago but I'm not positive on that. It's always interesting to see the PS responses and there are a ton of new people so I'll play to keep the thread going! I think the average size here is totally skewed from those IRL though. My ER is in my avatar. The center diamond is a FLY 2.52ct radiant. The ctw of the ring is 3.35. Michelle *****************************So many sparklies.....So little time!

It would be a lot easier to see the results if you set it up as a poll asking "What is the weight of the center diamond in your engagement ring?" And make the choices: less than .5, .5 to .74, .75 to .99, 1.0 to 1.24, 1.25 to 1.49, 1.5 to 1.99, 2.0-3.0, 3.0 and up. Just a thought! ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

I originally planned on doing a poll, but there are a lot of different types of answers that people will give, including non-diamond stones, total carat weight vs. solitaire carat weight, original e-rings and upgrades, and I didn't want someone to just vote in the poll and not explain what info they were sharing. Also, I'm too finicky and want to have a more exact answer, so I don't want to use ranges. It would make it easier to tally, though, I know!

Set up the poll... and do a few polls. DO one asking about the average original ering diamond only size. Like DS said above. PEople can then reply with their answer and state the total cts of the ring.. Then do a poll asking if you did upgrade, plan to, or how many cts up you went... Then do a gemstone vs diamond poll to see how many people had one of the other for the original. This question comes up a lot, and I was thinking about setting this up myself... Gwen, you're too sweet! Save yourself the trouble! We love polls anyway then we can see what's what! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
