1 carat isn't considered small in the US! Don't let this forum warp you
Exactly! I live in a very wealthy area but I feel 1 ct is a good size. It's definitely not small in America.

^yes
It's like visiting tPF and thinking it's "normal" for every to carry Chanel, LV or Hermes

I think that is a very good point.
I thought the article posted earlier, http://ezinearticles.com/?Diamond-E...-a-Diamond-Engagement-Ring-in-2008&id=1034380, was spot on about location...especially in CA where all through the state the average is about 1ct...and higher in the big cities.
My first one was about 1.5, I upgraded at 15 years to a past, present, future setting, the center stone in just over 3 ct and the 2 side stones are 1/2 ct each...it is about average for my friends and area.
Pics please!
That makes me feel better!! The longer I've been on TPF, the "poorer" I often feel I am lol
Whoa, I can't believe in NYC the average carat weight is so big!! I am in my early 30's and was married in my mid 20's and (it's been 6 years) at that time my "tiny" 1 carat to me, seemed huge (especially on my tiny size 3 3/4 finger).
