Band Ring Size
What is the average Diamond Carrot size for an engagement ring?
Im looking int engagement rings and i have no idea what im looking for. We have talked and she wants something that is simple and elegant so im going with a White Gold Band with a single diamond. But what size diamond? I guess what im getting at is what is the average carrot size for an engagement ring?
It's really impossible to answer this. Not just because everyone has different tastes, but because any "averages" you might be able to hunt up will be provided by industry organizations. That means the jewelry stores that belong to the organizations will have reported the sizes of what they market as engagement rings, and then the organization will have spit out the mean like it, well, means something.
But it doesn't. Because not only is a mean really useless (you can have a lot of small diamonds averaged in with a few whoppers and get a really inaccurate picture from that), but the "average" itself won't take into account a whole, whole lot of engagement rings that aren't sold as such.
Say the jewelry store has their expensive diamond rings labeled "engagement rings" and their less expensive rings labeled "promise rings." Maybe they sell more promise rings than anything else, and maybe they sell those promise rings to men intending to propose with them. But those rings won't be averaged into the mean, because the industry organization only wants to hear about the "engagement" rings.
Why is this? Why, to skew the mean figure upward and make you think you're supposed to be buying a larger diamond than most people really buy.
The best thing to do is to ask your girlfriend to show you some pictures of rings she likes. Then you'll get an idea of the kind of stone she wants and how large she's hoping it will be. And if it's doable, great. If it's not, you guys can have a talk and try to merge her expectations with your financial reality.
