    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.

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

    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)

    @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.

    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.

    @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!
