Average engagement ring / diamond in NYC?

Gazoo you make me laugh! The man hands with lobster! My hands are wide, long fingers when i grow my nails out. But i think i have excess hand fat on the outerside! LOL! I have a 1ct and it looks like a 1 ct. Wish I had smaller hands so it looked bigger...I'm a 6.25 ring size! :yes:
 
i think it all depends on what she likes..

from what i knwo the norm is about 3month sal.
this guy i know says in South Africa the norm is 6month sal.. but they get AMAZING diamonds there..
