Start with the carat, since here it decides grown or mined, then the setting and her size
Choose the carat first, because here it picks the stone for you. Every center of two carats or more is lab-grown, and every mined center stays under two. So for a big round, take it grown, in E or F color. If the diamond has to come out of the ground, look near one carat. Set it in 14K for a ring she never takes off, and order her measured size.
Find your ring size in a minute
Size 6: 16.5 mm across, 51.9 mm around. 31 of the 33 rings here list size 6.
Between two sizes? Take the one that passes the knuckle and sits snug below it. A wide band, 8 mm and up, fits tighter, so go up a half size. Measure at the end of the day, at room temperature.

A screen measurement checked with a quarter is a guide, good to about a half size; the desk sizes you right the first time. "Rings here listing it" counts the live listings on October 2, 2026.
Center size: how many carats for a round engagement ring, and how big it looks
Start at one carat if she wants a round people notice, about 6.5 mm across the top. The table sets each weight beside its width. The centers here run from under half a carat to about four, and the middle one is a little over a carat. Read the center carat, never the total, which adds the band's small stones.
Grown or mined: lab-grown or natural round diamond engagement rings
No mined center here reaches two carats, and most sit between half a carat and one. Every grown center is a carat or more, and half the grown rings set it among natural side diamonds, so ask what the small stones are. The engagement rings guide weighs grown and mined across every shape.
Color and clarity: the grades that matter on a round diamond
A round forgives a grade: its many facets hide a faint tint and a small mark better than an emerald cut. Most labs grade cut only on a round, and no listing here prints it, so ask us for it and take Excellent or Ideal. Ask too where a ring prints no color or clarity.
The setting: round solitaire, halo, three-stone and bridal set rings
A solitaire, one stone on a plain band, shows the round best, and most solitaires here are grown, from two carats to four. A halo rings the center with small diamonds so it reads a size larger. The best seller is a halo sold with its band, and eight rings come as bridal sets. Three are three-stone rings, and one is an anniversary band. Buying the band later, ask whether a straight one sits flush.
Gold and her size: 14K, 18K or platinum, and ordering her ring size
Take 14K. It is harder than 18K, and most rings sold here were 14K. Most gold rings offer yellow, white or rose, and three come in platinum only. To find her size, read one of her rings from that finger on the sizer on this page. Her two hands can differ by a half size, so name the hand. Most rings come in every half size from 5 to 8, and four come in one size only. Under the refund policy, a resized ring or one made in her size is final sale, so measure before you order.
