What Carat Size Should I Get?


Have a look at that graph, These are the carat sizes that are priced differently in each bracket.
Price is based per carat.

To be exact the brackets on prices are separated like this:

0.30-0.39
0.40-0.49
0.50-0.69
0.70-0.89
0.90-0.99
1.00-1.49
1.50-1.99
2.00-2.99
3.00 -3.99
4.00-4.99
5.00-5.99

Lets first talk about What Carat Size For a Proposal Ring?

I'm certain by now your girl should have hinted something to you, and you're working out your budget.

0.30-0.39 is rather small for a proposal ring. Only if she has mentioned she wants a really small diamond then you should consider this range.
Best buys for the price: F VS1,VS2 / E VS2

0.40-0.49 is a popular range for the minimum carat size as a proposal ring. Because you sacrifice on carat size, looking for a high color/clarity is something you should aim for! Impress her with the quality, not the size.
Best buys for the price: D VVS2, VS1,VS2/ E VVS1,VVS2,VS2 / F VVS1,VVS2,VS2

0.50-0.69 is to me, the favorite range for girls as a proposal ring. 0.58-0.69 will seldom come as super ideal cuts. Finding the perfect cut in those high ranges is rare and a little more common in the low 50's.
Best buys for the price: D VSS2, VS1/ E VVS1, VVS2, VS1/ F VVS1,VVS2,VS1

0.70-0.89 is where you're ready impress. G color is quite acceptable at this carat size because size is speaking!
Best buys for the price: D VS1,VS2/ E VVS1,VVS2,VS1,VS2/ F IF-VS2/ G VVS1-VS2

Will finish up the rest of the carat sizes as soon as possible, but this is a general guideline.

Tips: Try to avoid rounded whole numbers. e.g 0.40, 0.50, 0.70. Lets say you purchase a 0.50, and the diamond gets chipped/damaged, re polishing will cause the diamond to lose weight, and fall into the range of 0.40-0.49, causing a large drop in value.
