10 Best 1-Carat Diamond Rings You’d Love Saying ‘Yes’ To

Looking for 1-carat diamond rings to wow her at the proposal and beyond? cheque!

Want to know a little secret? In all our years as jewellery experts, we always get one question asked on repeat – Is bigger always better?

Our answer: Not when it comes to diamond rings! In fact, we’d even go so far as to say that a 1-carat diamond ring can give you a better bang for your buck than a 2-carat diamond ring.

What Makes 1-Carat Diamond Rings Ideal?

To answer that question, let us first understand what ‘carat’ is. Simply put, a carat is a unit of measurement that indicates the weight of the diamond. Here, 1 carat equals 0.2 grams, or 200 milligrams (i.e., about the size of an eraser behind a number 2 pencil). The average carat weight of an engagement ring in the United States right now is 0.9 carats.

1-Carat Diamond Rings Ideal

Buying a unique engagement ring with a 1-carat diamond is a great choice because it’s the perfect blend of elegance and affordability, giving you that coveted touch of luxury without breaking the bank (we’ll pause while your wallet does a little happy dance). What’s more, choosing the right diamond clarity grade can also hide those mild imperfections quite easily. And if you really wanna wow the crowd, an oval-cut or a halo style is all you need to make your 1-carat diamond ring look big enough to grab eyeballs.

Of course, that’s not even the best part; with a 1-carat diamond engagement ring and wedding band, the design options are truly endless.
