From zero (if I am home all day) to about 8 carats on an average day.

However here is an extraordinary day where I am wearing over 15 carats. And that is just on one finger. I could get used to that. 8)

Anywhere from 0 to 1 ct, usually earrings and the melees on my CS ring.

I almost always have 2 sets of studs on:
2.10 tcw
0.30 tcw
If it's a low-key day, just that with a plain wedding band (either 2mm YG, 2.5mm WG, or Cartier Trinity).
Sometimes a Rolex, but it's solid stainless. So not "bling" by this standard.

If I'm wearing something other than yoga pants, I usually add:
5.25tcw e-ring
2 ct 5-stone RHR

If I'm feeling fancy, I have halos that are about 1.2 tcw for the larger studs, and the 0.30 studs may get rotated with a 0.80 pair...

So, 2.40, 9.65, or 11.35 at max.

Somewhere between 3.5 and 10, depending if I wear my wedding set and/or earrings. I always have my tennis bracelet and pendant on.

Somewhere between .90 (wearing only Carl Blackburn band) to around 10 if I wear both Bertie and my SS oval, plus studs with jackets and my dbty necklace (I almost never wear all at one time, btw!)...

Necklace usually about 1.5
Earrings from .88 to 2.5 (most often 1.45)

Bumping this thread, I feel like there have been a lot of upgrades lately....curious to see if these numbers swing higher or lower due to Covid 19.

My average went from about 4.6ct to 9ct. Because all I do is bedeck myself and stay in the safety of my home office!

Im afraid im lowering the average around here
Most days none unless im wearing an inherited depression era ER or a mall ring with some mealie
So including my earings I'd say maybe a little over 1 TCW on a good day

My new daily total wearing has changed since I got OEC studs. My OEC ER (not counting the setting as I have no clue how many carats the setting is) and my OEC studs...drumroll please....

9.45 carats.
OMG...close to @Matata but girl you beat me. :)

And of course a picture or two is worth a thousand (or two thousand) words. :cheeky:

At home 0 unless I have clients. If I leave the house it really varies but now my go to pieces are a 2.5 antique 5 stone and 1,5 ctw OMC studs and I love wearing a 1,10 soli with some pave so that would be 4 to 5,20 or so since there really are no special occassions these days. For those I would wear my Blue green diamond ring or my Ceylon Sapphie ring. Perhaps dangles.

29.5 carats of diamonds, and that includes 3 bracelets, solitaire plus 2 eternity bands, and diamond hoop earrings. If I add a necklace, it will go to 40 carats or 31 carats and yes, these are my everyday pieces.

Hmmm.
4.3 total on the average day.
2.5 carats for ering and band.
1.8 tcw diamond studs.
My watch (Rolex) has diamonds on the 6 and 9, but I don't the carat weight.

The rest of my jewelry on a daily basis is typically solid gold (love bracelets).

It's not a lot of pieces. Wedding ring and MrsB are a bit over 4 c each and studs are 1.5 total. Totally blinged if I add bracelet and 3-stone necklace is a bit under 12 c and that the is total caratage I own :D
