What is a reasonable carat size for a diamond engagement ring?

I do not really understand the color, carat size and class of diamonds, however, I have always wanted a very nice engagement ring considering I will wear it for the rest of my life. My boyfriend and I are trying to decide on a reasonable purchase. I’d like a nice size solitaire diamond with a great sparkle. Any help?

Why don’t you just go to a store and look at them? Since you want just a solitaire ring I think that a lot will ride on what it looks like on your hand. I mean if you are a tiny girl with little fingers a 1 carat ring will probably look huge! So I don’t think anyone can tell you what will be the best for you. Just for fun, go to the mall and try on rings!

Congratulations!
