I have a six-prong round solitaire on a half-eternity band (the center stone is just over 2 carats) which I love, but I still drool over halo settings. My wedding band is another half-eternity band. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring/page/2#post-119602 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 16:08:37 +0000 Maysprout 119602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>0.

Do you have any pics of it anywhere? Mine is a round solitaire on a very simple 6-prong setting likes yours and I'd love to get it set on a halo setting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring/page/2#post-119569 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 15:34:42 +0000 Modern Daisy 119569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a round brilliant diamond that is just over 2 carats (I think it's 2.1) and a pave halo setting that probably adds up to at least 1 carat of additional diamonds if not 1.5. I originally had a six prong solitaire setting with no detail and I picked out this new setting about a year ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring/page/2#post-119534 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 15:09:37 +0000 Smurfette 119534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a tiffany setting 1.82 carat. Then I have two small, slim wedding bands on either side. I love it!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring/page/2#post-119530 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 15:06:14 +0000 bushelandapeck 119530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is a 2.2 carat round solitaire and a 1.75 sapphire and diamond band. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring/page/2#post-119488 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 14:25:07 +0000 Running Elley 119488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is a little over 1 TCW.

I love the fact that its an heirloom and has history behind it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring/page/2#post-115923 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 18:42:49 +0000 Boogs 115923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember, but the whole setting is close to 1.5ctw. I wish you could all post photos with your responses here! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring/page/2#post-115885 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:47:23 +0000 joyjoy 115885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little over 1 carat center stone with a little under 1 carat pave eternity setting. I asked him not to get something too big because 1) I have really small hands, and I thought a large stone would just be overwhelming and 2) I work in a lab, so my gloves have to fit over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring/page/2#post-115790 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 16:00:45 +0000 daniellemybelle 115790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is .90 carats total weight, with .70 carats in the center stone, and teeny diamonds around the band. My wedding band is an eternity band with slightly larger diamonds but I'm not sure the total weight - maybe .25? From time to time I wish it was a tad bigger, but I really love it and it is perfect for me. I have tiny hands - size 4 - and it is crazy sparkly, so it looks great on my finger. :) I doubt I will ever upgrade! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring/page/2#post-115369 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:55:35 +0000 kml636 115369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is 1 Carat total. I love it, but I would have been happy with something different (no diamond) also! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring#post-115368 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:52:05 +0000 Pipers Mommy 115368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a little over a carat center stone, and then a carat halo setting, my wedding band is a .5 carat and then when LO was born I got the matching band for the other side of my e ring as a push gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring#post-115347 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:32:54 +0000 LivsMama 115347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: When the jeweler suggested it and said the weight, I was like "no way, that would be huge" but the stones are each only about 3mm wide, so its not THAT hefty..not as much as you'd think it would be. There are just a lot of stones. I did have to add a super thin spacing band in between them though. The edges of the diamonds in the band were scratching the setting of my center stone (its a shared prong setting), so I had to put something there to keep them from touching. Its just a super thin (maybe 1mm wide) white gold band, but its saving my setting. Thats something else to consider with a bigger band. </p> <p>That being said, my band is about twice as thick as my e-ring band, but I liked the contrast. I tried on the band that a mtched my e-ring, but the fit was so snug it made it look like a double banded e-ring with no wedding band, so I didnt like it. you can see my set here <a href="http://gallery.weddingbee.com/photo/our-beautiful-set" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.weddingbee.com/photo/our-beautiful-set</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring#post-115345 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:31:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 115345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is a 1 carat center diamond with probably another carat of diamonds around the sides, it's a split shank with diamonds all down both sides. I love it, we picked it out together and it's exactly what I want. The only thing I would change is I want another band for after the baby is born to make it symmetrical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring#post-115330 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:19:23 +0000 calsmom 115330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol I have no idea! I do know that it (along with my band) is beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring#post-115326 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:18:19 +0000 mediagirl 115326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's .60. It was my paternal Grandmother's engagement and wedding band. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring#post-115325 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:18:15 +0000 MamaMoose 115325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: uhhh I want a nice hefty eternity band like that so badly!! Hubs really didn't want me to get one because he felt like it overpowered my engagement ring so I got a very thin half eternity. I like it and all... but man I wish I just went for the big one!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring#post-115320 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:14:33 +0000 LivsMama 115320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My center stone is 2.1 carats with a micropave band that adds another half carat (Modeled after the Tiffany Novo.) My wedding band is a 2 carat eternity band. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring#post-115254 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:36:33 +0000 Alivoo01 115254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: @chopsuey119: WOW!!</p> <p>Mine center is 1.5 with two smaller stones on each side on an eternity pave set band. TCW is 2, I love the dainty-ness of my ring. Plus the hubby designed/picked it out himself. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring#post-114794 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 17:33:55 +0000 mrsjyw 114794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 carat solitaire with 1 carat band...

My hubby did an amazing job designing the ring and I love it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring#post-114393 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 13:33:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 114393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My solitaire is one carat and the halo and stones on the band are another carat. My husband designed it all by himself. He was able to get a real quality stone because his aunt is a jeweler a he paid whole sale price. I love my ring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-carats-is-your-engagement-ring#post-114388 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 13:28:57 +0000 stiffaknee 114388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is a 1.5 carat round solitaire.

I didn't want him spending too much money and I never really cared about it. I still don't but if I had to do it again, I'd get a prettier cut (I have a round) and maybe a more antique looking setting... </p>
