Subject: Engagement ring - what’s the perfect size?
Round I prefer at 1.5. Emerald or cushion cut 2. Princess 2-2.25. This would be for everyday wear.
I like jewelry and buy lab so I like to have a few e-ring style rings I can wear depending on my mood.

I love my .75ct stone. I wear it all the time.

My .78 carat high quality diamond in a beautiful setting was more than enough for 20 years. I now have a 1.5 carat diamond. It is gorgeous but I think it may almost be too big. I think 1 carat would be perfect.

I have a 5.5 ct oval and love it. I started with a 3.8 radiant cut though, which I still wear on some occasions.

You’re not wrong but this is not really relevant. OP is not asking about status, but rather, about a practical design for daily use…

1 or 2 carats but it’s kind of cultural. You don’t see above 1 in a lot of cultures.
Something with a low profile is ideal, like an East/West emerald cut diamond. But this cut is not as sparkly as the round.
I find very high-set stones ridiculous and impractical. And the band shouldn’t be too thin either (fortunately that minimalist trend seems to be dead).

At least 2 carat.

I think average size has been getting bigger because diamonds are so much cheaper now.
I like the look of 1.5 round on my finger (size 4). Over 2ct is too big for me and starts to look a bit like costume jewelry

If you have an anorexic girl 0.5 carats will work, small girl 1 carat, plump 1.5, heifer 2.0, whale 2.5, elephant 3

Fancy colored stones for engagement rings will become more popular.

Agreed. Diamonds are done for as a status symbol the way they used to be.
On the plus side, it makes it a lot easier to own lots of diamonds in different shapes and sizes if you just like the look and want variety

1 ct. Quality is more important than size
