Sofia Richie’s stunning 5-carat sparkler on Instagram was a showstopper, wasn’t it? A 5-carat engagement ring (diamond or non-diamond) is the ultimate statement piece. However, not all of us can splurge like the stars. The good news? You can achieve the same jaw-dropping effect without breaking the bank.
Whether you’re dreaming of a diamond or a non-diamond 5-carat engagement ring, it’s more attainable (and versatile) than you might think. Let’s break down what makes these rings so special and highlight some dazzling picks from Angara that bring A-list glamour within reach.
Why Are 5-Carat Engagement Rings a Big Deal?
A 5-carat engagement ring, diamond or non-diamond, is more than just a symbol of love; it’s a statement of luxury and individuality. We’re talking about a stone that makes a bold visual impact and feels substantial on the finger. In the world of engagement rings, size matters — and a 5-carat stone is on the larger end of the spectrum. The average engagement ring size hovers around 1 carat (approximately 7 mm according to the diamond size chart), making a 5-carat diamond ring price more expensive if you’re eyeing a 5-carat natural diamond ring. But if you’re open to exploring the increasingly popular 5-carat lab diamond ring, this size will offer some serious sparkle for a fraction of the cost. What’s more, with non-diamond engagement rings gaining traction, options like sapphires, emeralds and rubies offer stunning alternatives that are just as captivating.
