So, what IS the average PS e-ring size? Add your info here so we can figure it out!

[disneybride]

My engagement ring is a 1.00 carat rb in a .5 carat rb channel bridge setting. My band is a matching .5 carat channel set half eternity.

 

[teacherk]

Cool thread! Mine is on the way, in production at WF (t minus 6 days and counting). It is:
1.01 princess solitaire

 

[mintve]

[gwendolyn]

Alright! I just finished inputting the data from this thread--187 entries! Now, to do the calcs!

If anyone else wants to add their info, go right ahead! Tell me your center stone carat weight, sidestones/melee/pave/accent stone weights, any other stone (like sapphire accent stone or center stones), wedding band ctw, 3-stone rings, etc. Give me as much info as you like.

 

[lyra]

Hah. My info has changed since we started this thread. New ring (permanent?): 1.77ct K VS1, plus .24ctw (8 sidestones). I''m not giving WB info, right? I don''t know for sure what it is anyway. Maybe .22ctw.

 

[gwendolyn]

So far, this is what I have:

Total number of carats of diamond solitaire stones [original (not counting upgrades) e-rings, without sidestones, melee, etc.]: 229.616cts

More info to come! And Lyra...uh...I''ll see if I can find where your numbers are in my Excel sheet...if I can...

 

[gwendolyn]

Sidestones! These are the measurements for all original e-rings. Upgrades were calculated as ctw (coming up next).

Total carat weight of non-diamond sidestones: 1.2 (only 2 posters submitted info)

 

[gwendolyn]

Upgrades! Anyone who gave me information on their upgrades was tallied in this column. If you had multiple upgrades, I only used information from the most recent one, so this should reflect everyone''s current e-rings.

Total number of carats of diamond upgrades: 106.1cts
Average upgrade: 2.35777778cts, extremes were 0.73 and 10.1
Median of upgrades: 1.81cts

[ladyciel]

Mine is a 1.3ct round diamond.

 

[gwendolyn]

E-rings with stones other than diamonds in the center! There aren''t many of you, so you won''t have a mode, I''m afraid.

Total carat weight of non-diamond center stones: 4.45cts
Average carat weight of non-diamond center stones: 1.48333333cts, extremes being 0.97cts and 2.06cts
Median: 1.42cts

Total carat weight of 3-stone diamond rings: 24.81cts
Average carat weight of 3-stone diamond rings: 2.25545455cts

Anyone who wants to add info (like the lovely ladyciel

), please do so! Once there''s enough info, I will update my current charts and put up new numbers. Thanks for contributing!

 

[ladyciel]

Hehe, sorry I was late, Gwen! Love your new pic.

 

[Ice Princess Cristy]

WOW!!!!!!!!!

You did tons of work on this and how fun!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the info and putting so much effort into this Gwen!!!

 

[gwendolyn]

ladyciel--no prob! I am hoping people keep adding data to the thread, so no worries!! You are hopefully the first of the next wave of info!

Ice Princess Cristy--Thanks so much! I realized after I posted the stuff in here that lots of people probably wouldn''t read it for the results, so I created a results thread. But thanks for the reply!

 

[AMGgal]

Solitaire: 2.13ct
Eternity Band: 2.56ct

 

[researcher]

Solitaire: 3.25 ct princess (original)
Wedding Band: 5-stone 1.4 ctw (princess cut)

Thanks for doing this!!!

 

[Tuckins1]

Hi! My center stone is a .70 ct diamond, and the setting has roughly .6-.7 ct in it. (Can''t remember exactly.)

 

[AggieTexan]

My original e-ring was a .80 pear. It is now a pendant!

My 20th Anniversary ring is a 2.43 RB with .25 side stones and smaller stones in the shank. I wear it with a 1.25 full eternity band.

 

[jcrow]

original e-ring solitaire RB - 2.13 carats
original w-band - half eternity RBs - 12 3 pointers.

 

[lightseeker]

To add to the"other" stone category - ering; center stone = 2.90 cushion sapphire, side stone .37 diamonds

 

[needmorediamonds]

My engagement ring, pear, no side stones, is 1.35. I got it in 1983, and the first time I wore it, I was in the check-out line at the grocers, and a mom and her 12/13 yr-old daughter were staring at my hand. I heard the mom whisper, "It''s probably fake". So, in these here parts (No. CA, San Francisco area), 1.35 is kind of large

In 1983, anyway

I actually see larger stones when I visit San Fran than I do where I currently live (West Hollywood/Beverly Hills area in CA). Probably an issue of the areas I visit, though.

Good work, Gwen

Yay, hello there, diffraction! That is a BEAUTIFUL shot of your ring! Do you have any more? I''d love to see a SMTR thread on your lovely ring--more close-ups and handshots and profile shots, maybe?

Oh man, I posted ONCE and then disappeared!

Thank you for the compliments! If you still want to see more pictures, I can probably get some this weekend and send them to you. Also, what does SMTR mean? I tried looking it up, but I can''t find anything...

 

[geckodani]

I have a .75, D, VS2, Ideal Cut.
No sidestones.
It''s set in the classic 6 prong with a plain band.


Fun poll!

 

[Irishgrrrl]

My e-ring total carat weight is 1.61 . . . 0.75 carat radiant cut center stone, and 0.86 carats in side stones (two princess cuts and six RBs).

Oh, that would be LOVELY! I always want to see more pictures.

SMRT stands for ''Show Me The Ring''--that just refers to the forum (right next to this one, RockyTalky) where everyone posts threads full of their gorgeous jewelry! It would be wonderful if you posted a thread in there with more photos of your beautiful ring!
