Dimensions of a 1.18

[LoveMeDo]

My friend is going to be engaged soon and is looking for engagement rings. She found a 1.18 that measures 6.73 by 6.63...are these decent dimensions for that size?

mmm that's a little small. a 1c is 6.5mm and a 1.25c is about 7mm. so a 1.20ish stone should be closer to 7, maybe 6.9mm. that stone's average is more like 6.68. it's probably a little deep but it's not a HUGE HUGE loss.

I just went to bluenile.com and quickly typed in search info for a 1.18 carat stone.
I selected the first 1.18 I saw

6.68X6.74

The dimensions on your friend''s ring is fine for a 1.18. It might have a thick girdle.
