There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—it depends on personal style, budget, and the significance you want the ring to hold. The average diamond in the U.S. is around 1 carat, but this varies widely. Some people prefer a smaller yet higher-quality diamond, while others prioritize carat weight. At Peter Norman, we help you balance the ‘4Cs’ (carat, cut, clarity, color) within your budget to find the perfect diamond size for you.
