Poll - Carat Size of Your Latest Upgrade Ering

[FancyDiamond]

After having seen the elaborate erings with gigantic stones in the eye-candy section, I started to wonder about the average carat size of the erings owned by the pricescope ladies who have special interest in (or rather obsession with) diamonds. I expected the answer to be much bigger than my humble 1.12 ct ering. To confirm my suspicion, I searched for previous polls on the subject. In no time, I found an old post by "the other Jake" that shows the spec for most ladies'' first engagement ring is as follows: 1-1.25 ct, H color, and VS2 clarity. Although feeling a bit surprised by the results, I immediately realized that most newlyweds did not have much money starting out. Perhaps a similar poll for upgrade erings may reveal an answer that is more consistent with the eye-candies shown in this forum.

When you take the poll, please base your answer on your latest upgrade/downgrade or your current ering (if you have never had an upgrade). Thank you for your participation.

I''ll get answers for the othre 3 C''s later.

Someone did a huge PS ring poll last year and I believe found out that the average size was just about a carat. I''ll find it for you...

I got my ring just over 2 years ago and have not upgraded. Mine is just about 1 ct.

Yes, "the other jake" did a poll starting Dec 2006. There were a total of 3081 votes. Only 8% (235 people) had center stones over 2 carats. C''mom! Look at all the boulders in the eye-candy section. Either someone is sandbagging or more ladies are now having have SDS. I''ll let the results speak for themselves.

No there was a different one-see my other post above.

Yes, I see. Very interesting results, but more consistent with the eyecandies, indeed. Thank you for the link.
This poll was done only months ago, so I do not expect to see much of a difference. However, I suspect the future trend iwill be larger and better cut diamonds with lower color and clarity. We are all being trained (or programmed).

These are interesting statistics which I believe are accurately representative of the current ownership.

I read these as 90 and 60 instead of .90 and .60 and did a double-take!
