1 carat diamond engagement rings

A globally admired classic

Most engagement rings sold around the world feature diamonds close to one carat in size. This is not a coincidence. It’s a size that offers exceptional brilliance, a graceful silhouette, and timeless appeal, all without crossing into the visual excess or pricing thresholds of larger carat weights.

From high-earning professionals to those who simply value elegance over extravagance, the 1.00 carat engagement ring holds an enduring place in the collective idea of what an engagement ring should be: confident, beautiful, and deeply meaningful.

Is a 1 carat diamond good for an engagement ring?

Yes, and more than that, it’s the most popular choice for a reason. A 1.00 carat diamond offers an ideal blend of size, sparkle, and comfort. It’s large enough to be noticed and admired, while still being versatile and effortless to wear daily. For many, it’s the ultimate “just right”, striking the balance between aesthetic presence and sensible investment. That said, preferences vary. Some clients choose to go beyond, selecting a 1.5 carat, 2 carat or even 3 carat diamond engagement ring to match their personal vision. BAUNAT offers all of these options, ensuring you can find the size that speaks to you.

How can you correctly measure your ring size?

A diamond ring is a very personal and meaningful item, so it should fit perfectly. But can you measure your ring size? First, if you already have a well-fitting ring, measure the inner diameter with a precise measuring tool, preferably a calliper. If you don’t have a ring to measure, there are other ways to find your size, which you can find in our guide here.

If the ring size appears to be too large or too small after your purchase, most ring designs can be adjusted without a problem. The exact amount jewellers charge for size adjustments depends on the ring design, the material, and the number of sizes the ring needs to be adjusted.
