Shallow/nosey s/o: How big was your e-ring?

BubblyToes

Mine was a carat, but I got a wrap for our first married Christmas that has two 1/2 carat diamonds on it.

AnnapolisLari

1.5 carats total in a 3 stone ring -- center stone .75

 

Yodajo

A bit over a carat (I forget-maybe 1.25?) with diamonds set in the band around it.  Think Tacori, but not quite.

ETA:  That's the center stone.  I have no idea how much it is all together.

mlm1128

.80 center stone with a .25 on each side. My new band is a wrap that is .75 of smaller diamonds. And even though it will go all the way to my knuckle, the jeweler is holding a matching wrap for the other side to make it a full circle. My mother says it's too big on my size 4 finger, but I guess I am gawdy because I love it.

My ering is a smidge under 1.5 - princess cut solitaire. No idea the carat weight of my wedding band or my "push" present ring (which I bought myself, so I guess doesn't count as a push present, lol)

AggieCouple

1.25 carats, with two sapphires, .5 carats I think, each.  He knew quality was more important to me than quantity, so it's flawless, D color.  How do I know (people always ask, HTF do I know)?  Well, we had to bring the little certificate to get it insured.

I think my center stone is only 1/4 carat.  DH proposed *right* after he graduated from college and hadn't started working yet, so it's on the smaller side.  He actually bought a 1.25 carat a few years later (to swap out) as a Christmas present, but I declined.  It seemed romantic at the time to keep the original.  Now I kind of wish I'd kept it and turned the old one into a pendant or something

0.67 carat solitaire

My center stone is 1/4 c. Then there are 6 small stones wrapped, and 12 that form 'v's  on either side. The center stone was bought as an 'I love you' solitaire on our 1 yr dating anniversary and H 'stole' it (I thought it was seriously stolen - we had a house full of people and I had taken if off while baking an put it in the window) and had it reset.  My wedding band is just a shadow band on one side.

Honestly, I think it all fits my hand/finger well.  I'm not sure that I'd trade up, if given a couple grand to do so.

.75 carat for the center stone and then .25 on the side and then the band is I think .50

I am totally lobbying for a gaudy right hand ring for our 10 year  

JenniC1135

1 carat center stone for my e-ring - just a round solitaire.  I had my wedding band custom made as a wrap, so it added a pear shape on either side of the main stone, plus a channel set band.  I think the additional diamonds add another carat.

It's funny -- I have no idea. I think a carat?? I don't remember asking. I just know he went for a higher quality stone.

eclaires

It's a little over a carat, princess cut solitaire.  I, too, prefer quality over size.  Not sure how many carats are in my wedding band.

Not that you asked, it's not what I would pick today, but I do think it is representative of who we were at the time, what we could afford, etc.

If I could pick today, I'd pick a super fat sapphire.  Instead, I will settle for one for my 30th birthday. 

Jodi&Joe

3 stone ring - all rounds.  Center is 1.28, sides are .495 each so a total of 2.25 and my wedding band has .75 in it - 7 rounds channel set in the band (so ering and band total 3.02.  3 is my fave #! LOL).  It's a chevron cut so it "dips" (it's curved) below my center stone so the bands fit together.  I do love my rings but of course, want bigger.  No such thing as a diamond that's too big, IMO! 

firefightersgal

The center stone was a .75 ct.  I had two .25 ct anniversary bands on either side of the e-ring.  :

KatieLG04

The center stone is about .5 with 2 small baguettes on the side.  I had my wedding band custom made to fit around my ring since it's an unusual shape, and we used some stones from a cocktail ring my great aunt gave my mother so it has some nice family significance.  Together they are probably around 1 carat.  I have tiny hands so it works for me. 

Jodi&Joe

I prefer quality AND size .....and I'm not just talking about diamonds ladies! 

mollynpatrick

Radiant cut solitaire - a little over 1 carat. Another carat in my wedding band.

Goose51504

My original ring was a 1.5 ct. princess cut center stone set in platinum with a .25 ct. baguette side stones on each side. I got an upgrade as a push present when P was born and now have a 3.5 ct. center stone, in the original setting. So, 4 cts. all together. Six if you count my wedding band, which is an eternity band.

r9stedt

It is .81 ct round cut solitaire, cathedral setting.

 Great quality, but I can't remember right off the top of my head.  

 

Reminds me i need to go get it insured.  Wonder if I can find that certificate...

.62 carat round solitaire on my engagement ring. My wedding ring is channel set sapphires and diamonds, nothing big. I wouldn't say no to an upgrade on my e-ring, but my fingers are really short and a huge diamond might look weird.

I love your husband!  Just sayin'!

I'm with Jodi. At the time the jeweler told us that my ring was as big as I should go with my hand, because my diamond is actually a size 4, and they made it a 1/4 size smaller. DH didn't want to hear it and wanted to get a bigger stone, but he went with the one I have. It's a D color so it's 3 good stones. But now I wish he did get a bigger one like he wanted. How could a diamond be too big??  

JellymanKelly

A little over a carat, plus 2 small stones on each side. I still think it's perfect for me.

mlm1128

Damn Goose, I am passing this info on to DH. We plan to renew our vows at 10 years. He has 2 years to work on that upgrade!!

mamarazzi

It's a little over half.  H wanted quality over size and and he had to go smaller on the diamond to work the platinum setting into the budget.  I have a pretty thick band with a bezel setting so it's quite a bit of metal.  I have a weird pH and turn white gold to gold within a few weeks, so I wanted platinum so it would stay white.

joy143dh

It's 1c with a few along the sides.

veloelle

1 carat princess solitaire and a band w/ small diamonds. But DH did his homework and it's a very high quality diamond. It's been 11.5 years, I don't remember which C's they are, but it sparkles. : )

sunandsand

2 carat ering, wedding band is .25

ExpatFamily06

Mine was a set, as in the e-ring and wedding band together.  In total, it's 1.6 carats

LauraMiller

People always ask how you know?  Never once have I been asked "how I know"....because the "flawlessness" of my diamond (which it is)  is not something I would ever mention  to someone!  Classy!

Zenya

PIP people!  I lurve rings.

Mine is a carat and smaller ones on the sides.

grja

Princess cut 1.5 center stone, then a .5 on each side.

Wedding band is 1c of princess cut diamonds

Honeymoon present is an eternity band. I wear this on my right hand. I wanted it as my wedding band but it didn't look right with my ring. So dh got me one on our honeymoon.

LinzDavid

I like Zenya's idea of PIPs (even though I can't pip right now).  I especially want to drool over Goose's rings

My engagement ring is a 1 ct total.  Princess cut center stone with small princess cut stones next to it.  Wedding band is 1/2 ct of more princess cut stones.  I, too have been hinting for the upgrade.  

hcmamm1

1.25 carat; center being .75 and 3 diamond on either side totaling .50. My wedding band is .75.

Zenya

Don't make me be the only assholewho posts a pic!!  

Jessys_Girl

Mine is 3 diamonds that total 1/2 carat.

1.25 Emerald Cut

mattswife91805

I am honestly not sure what mine is, it was DH's grandmothers ring she gave it him after she met me, she passed away 5 days later. My wedding band is .25 carats. For our 10 yr he suggested upgrading, not sure I want too.
