What's your average net carat weight?

[MakingTheGrade]

I was just curious, on your average work-a-day weekday, what's your total diamond ct weight that you wear? Adding up all the rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets (and wherever else you may be sporting a rock), what's the total bulk of bling you typically bustle around in?

Mine today is about just over 3ct: .9ct ering, .9ct wedding band, .55ct RHR, .72ct pendant.

Though I often change up my RHR, and most of my other ones are colored stones, so it's probably closer to 2.5 on any given day.

 

[Enerchi]

2.06 for ering (which does not include the channel set stones on either side, nor the surprise diamonds because I have NO idea what they are but imagine maybe .02 or .03pts each? x 12),
1ct for new 1/2 eternity band
.86 tcw studs,
.58 tcw diamonds in my diamond / sapphire ring

....then there's the tiara and the diamond choker - how did I forget to add those in as well???

 

[Amys Bling]

hmm,

2.25 in my Ering, .7 in my wedding band, .46 OEC pendant, and .24 Huggies... for a grand total of about 3.5

 

[DNB]

2.75 total for e-ring, .5 carat 5 stone band, .75 ct pendant, .75 ct rhr, 1.0 ct studs and 5.05 ct tennis bracelet.

 

[mayerling]

Very modest by PS standards. .52 e-ring and .20 wedding band.

 

[ImpatientOne]

I voted 3-5:

3.15 for ering & wedding band
1.o for 5-stone anniversary band

 

[Pandora II]

0.53ct melee in e-ring
0.50ct melee in w-band
2.40ct 3 stone OEC RHR

So around 3.5ct on a daily basis plus 1.42ct of tsavorite in my e-ring.

 

[madelise]

Im curious about the geographical and age demographics for this info, as well >_<


I'm mid-20's, in urban So Cal
Daily set: 0.7 center, ~1ctw promise ring, 0.2ctw studs for my 2nd love peircings, and for my main lobes, I've been switching between AthenaWorth's ~1.5ctw OMC dangling buttercup earrings, and my old vintage set that's approx ~1.5-1.75ctw (centers are 1.2ctw).. Bringing my "net carat weight" to 2.7 to 2.95~ish as my daily wear.

 

[marcy]

I voted 3-5.

Ering and anniversary band 1.5
Diamond studs .75 ctw
Bracelet 2 ct
Pendant .5

Sometimes I only wear rings and earrings though.

 

[canuk-gal]

HI:

My ER is 6.12ctw so that makes everything else seem escalated.....if I wear my eternity ring that is another 6.25ctw and just OTT!

cheers--Sharon

 

[diamondringlover]

Since I work from home my everyday wear it minimal, I normally only wear my 2mm gold band...today I thew on my 1ct e-ring...I seldom wear much else..sometimes just because I miss wearing them I will wear my 5 stone that is .75 and my e-ring...but most of the time it just my band.

ETA I am in my early 50's and I live in the midwest

 

[melave]

0 when working i can't wear rings and i don't wear my diamond earrings to work, though that may change
I am in my mid 30's and in remote australia

 

[Rhea]

Today: diamond earrings at 0.71, and wedding band at 0.11.

Most days a plain ring and earrings, or silver earrings and a ring.

 

[AGBF]

Whoa! Wrong question! That would be zero (0) carats, since I don't usually wear a piece of diamond jewelry! I also don't work, but I still remember what a work week is!

Deb/AGBF

 

[Octavia]

Pretty much every day, I wear: .35ct e-ring, .62ctw w-band, .62ctw studs = 1.6ctw.

 

[jeweln]

usually I wear : 1.25 ct Ering ,2 ctw five stone band ,1.20 ct studs ,1.11 ct pendant ,so around 5 ct total .

 

[LtlFirecracker]

I think I between 2-3 carats. I wear my 1.15 ct e-ring, my eternity band (don't remember the ct weight but I think it is not very much), and my .66 tct diamond studs.

 

[Sparklelu]

2cttw diamond studs, .60 solitaire bezel pendant, 1ct 5 stone , 2ct tw diamond bracelet, BGD dBty bracelet .30cttw and
grandmas double diamond bypass ring 1ct+ 1.5ct stones plus asst baguettes and round melee about .50pts!!! holy moly I never added it up like that! That's about 9 cttw!

 

[SweetAsscher]

Hmmm... 1.64 ering, .7 w band, .5 pendant, 1.34 rhr Total: 4.18
ETA: mid 20's urban NorCal

 

[manderz]

I voted 3-5, because today it's my 1.30 ctw ering,1.3 bezel studs, .75ctw rhr, .5 pendant, and an additional .3 in couple pairs of small diamond studs, and this is a pretty average day. RHR ctw may vary slightly, but no by much. The rest of my things are pretty much staples.

 

[that_someone_special]

Usually 7 to 8 carats .. but right now I am watching Mad Men in my pjs... so zero!

 

[madelise]

Wow, I had no idea people wear so much bling where are you guys hiding!! I always feel *my* daily set is a bit much IRL, even in an urban setting! I have to pay attn to people around me more..

 

[jaysonsmom]

I wear on any given day:

1.80ct e-ring + 0.71 band + 1.12 ct pendant = 3.63ct

I also mix in 2 ctw fake studs that I planning to make "real" one day, so most days people think I'm rocking over 5 ct of diamonds!

 

[ame]

1.15 ering + .30ish wband = 1.45
If you include my studs which I never really wear + .33ctw = 1.78

 

[Anastasia]

1.09 carat e-ring + .38 carats in setting
.48 carats in wedding band
.67 in right hand ring (+1.67 carat sapphire which I didn't count)
1.67 carat studs
4.29 total
so I voted between 3-5.

This reminds me, I need to get my 2.0 carat tennis bracelet fixed.

I love that I wear all of my "good" jewelry on a daily basis. I don't like to spend a lot of money on the really fancy stuff. It sits in the drawer most of the time.

ETA - late 40's - Philadelphia suburbs

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Hey Anastasia, I'm from the Philly suburbs too!

Yeah...I didn't include colored stones (even though I love them more than diamonds..shhhh) because it could warp the numbers too much since I know some people like to wear 20ct pendants etc.

 

[LittleRiver]

1.06 e-ring
0.38 pendant

1.44 total

I also have two pairs of diamond earrings, but I rarely wear them, and neither pair would bump me into the next category anyway!

 

[hawaiianorangetree]

I wear my new 2.3ctw 5 stone, my 1.23ctw studs and my .87ct pendant on a daily basis. I think that's about 4.4ctw altogether.

 

[Dandi]

I can't wear jewellery to work apart from earrings, so my workday wear consists of 1.10ctw diamond studs. Any day outside work I wear:

1.42ctw 3 stone e-ring
3.02ctw tennis bracelet
3.40ctw eternity RHR
1.10ctw studs
.10ctw toe ring

Total of 9.04 carats. It'll be a smidge more when I get my WF earring jackets

ETA - Late 20s, live on the surfcoast in Australia.
