While a single stone engagement ring looks classy and magnificent, a three stone engagement ring or trinity rings are a mark of eternal love and so are the side stone engagement rings or round halo engagement rings which define love and are plush too. Big things come in small packages is an old saying and when it comes to selecting the perfect diamond engagement ring, you can swear by this dictum without much ado. Having said that, the size of the ring, its style and shape are a matter of personal choice.
How Many Carats Is Ideal for A Diamond Engagement Ring?
Carat weight gives you an idea about its weight and not its size or dimensions. Since carat weight is one of the crucial 4Cs apart from cut, colour and clarity, so while choosing the carats, you can consider the following tips:
· Budget: One of the biggest factors in deciding the carats of a diamond engagement ring is how much you can afford. If you and your partner are looking for economical options, then lab-grown diamonds might suffice your purpose.
· Average size and standards: 1-carat centre stone was considered to be the ideal pick for the diamond engagement rings. However, there has been a significant transition towards the bigger centre stones which are somewhere between 1.25 carat to 1.5 carats.
· Lifestyle: In case your partner is a teacher or a doctor or someone who has an active lifestyle, then small stones are your safe bet.
Apart from these tips, you can go through the following points regarding the carats and the corresponding ring styles that will help you in picking the most appropriate ring:
· 0.10-0.40 carats: Round diamond ring will make for a perfect match if you are looking for anything in this carat weight.
· 0.50 carats: While solitaires are a perfect pick for engagement rings in this category, round halo engagement rings add to the galore of the centre stone.
· 0.70 carats: Just push yourself a little and you will get a dazzling sparkler for your engagement at this carat weight.
· 0.90 carats: This is a popular choice for those who do not want to spend money on 1-carat diamond because finding the difference between 0.90 carat and carat with a naked eye is almost impossible and thus saving is ideal because both look identical.
· 1 carat: Let the beautiful round-shaped stone weave an interesting tale while resting gracefully on your ring finger.
In addition to this, 1.25, 2, 3 and 5 carats make for resplendent diamond rings. Choose your engagement ring from our elaborate collection and make your statement.
