I'm also one of the only women in my circle that doesn't have a halo style ring and that always throws me off because the halo makes everything look bigger than reailty. I'd say most of the main stones are probably somewhere around 1ct.
Funny, this is us too. We married 6 years ago and all of our friends have gotten married in the last 2 years--every last woman has had a halo style ring, and I absolutely think that part of the allure is to make the center stone appear larger and to distract from flaws.
