1 carat is such a magical size for a stone. Some people say it's big, some people say it's average, heck I've even heard people say it's small. In my opinion, it is the absolute perfect size. But I know it depends on personal preference and finger size/ratio as well, which leads me to this thread...
Please post your one carat rocks, preferably while on your finger :) I think every stone in nature is beautiful, ao feel free to post anything, but I would especially love to see real diamonds!
Here's mine. Center stone is 1.01 carats. It looks a lot bigger in this picture because it's so close up. I also have very small fingers (3.75 ring size), so it looks pretty big on my finger, but I think it's a great size in person.
Mine is also a tiny bit under (gotta love that price drop just under the 1.xx mark)

My center stone is a carat. It looks different because of the cut (I wear a 4.5)

Mine is also a full carat, .55 on the band. Size 7.5. :)

1 carat center... 1/2 carat on the band and it comes with a matching 1/2 carat wedding band

Mine is 1.00 carat (center stone). It looks a little larger, though, because the table of the stone is abnormally wide. Good work from the future hubs! (shown with my wedding band)
Here is mine! My ring size is a 5.25. The center is 1.08 carats. I love my set and can't wait to wear it all together!!
@CanAmBride: Mine is similar, I'm a ring size 4.25 and I tend to get comments that the stone looks bigger than 1 carat, but I guess that's a good thing :o)
Keep the rings coming ladies!
I think my ring size is 5.5, the centerstone is 1.1 carat princess cut, there are .15 around it... I can't believe this is the best picture I have of this ring, its been 9 months and I haven't taken a better one
Mine is 1.01, ring size 4.75.
I get a lot of comments that it looks bigger too, but I think it's also the cut, it's a Hearts on Fire ideal cut.
My center stone is a smidge over a carat, with a ct total weight in the band. I wear a size 8.
@MissSawyer - your ring is quickly becoming my ideal ring! Lucky you! Its beautiful!
GORGEOUS RINGS!!!! My center stone is 1.11 carats....not sure about the side stones....and my ring size is 6.5.
Mine is 1.13, which is much bigger than I ever thought I would have. If we hadn't inherited this stone from FI's grandmother, I imagine we would have gone with moissy or something like that to get the size I wanted that we could afford. I always said my dream diamond is somewhere between 1 and 1.25 carats, so I really lucked out with this lovely.
My ring size is 7.5.

My center stone is 1.08 carats and the 2 side stones and stones on the band total around .65 carats. He had it made and did a fantastic job!!!

@europomme: We have very similar rings and halo band (minus the pave stones on the band). Your ring is beautiful!
@mBride2011: I love your wedding band! It's so unique and pretty!
My ring is 1.00 Signature Ideal Cut Round Brilliant diamond with a .28 cts on the halo. I wear a size 3.5. I wouldn't change the size of my diamond b/c it's the perfect size for me!
*Sorry for the huge pic!
I love my 1ct. round solitaire. It is as simple and classic as you can get with it's 6 prong head. perfect. Here it is:
@TessaDL: Thank you for the compliment. I love it too. It is traditional yet unconventional, just like me.
@WaitingweddingBE: Thank you! I love it, I'm so happy with my FI's choice. It's different but still a pretty classic look. Hope you get what you're dreaming of!
Mine is 1 carat hearts and arrows ideal cut and I'm a 3.75 ring size.
1.02 carats on my 4.5 finger. I <3 it sooo much!

My center stone is a 1ct Princess Cut! Color H Clarity is I1 (I cant see anything wrong tho) its a size 5 : ) Pic is with my wedding band!
