What does 1 CT mean on a ring?
“1 CT” stands for one (1) carat. Carat is the unit of measurement used to identify or specify the weight of a diamond. Carat isn’t a measurement of the diamond’s size, although it’s likely that a higher carat would mean a bigger diamond.
A “1 ct” diamond on a ring pertains to a band adorned with a single diamond weighing one carat.
Please take note that rings with multiple diamonds will usually be marked with “cttw” or “ctw” to specify the total carat weight or the sum of the individual carat weights of all the diamonds in the ring.
Is 1 carat a good diamond weight for an engagement ring?
One carat diamond rings are popular engagement rings for a reason. A full carat diamond ring is a classic choice. It’s beautiful and elegant and is the safest choice in terms of how the diamond ring will look on a lady’s hand. A 1 ct diamond ring also offers the perfect balance of enchantment, luxury, and affordability.
Truth be told, a 1 carat yellow gold or white gold diamond ring makes a fine engagement ring. One carat diamond is a good size and a manageable size to be worn every day with comfort and ease.
Is 1-carat diamond big enough?

Compared with a 3 carat diamond ring, a 1 ct diamond ring won’t get in the way during daily activities. If you are looking for a bigger diamond at a reasonable cost, consider a diamond cut that will deliver a more prominent appearance (marquise or oval cut diamonds in particular) on a finger.
Are 1 carat diamond engagement rings suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, 1 carat diamond engagement rings are suitable for everyday wear.
1 carat vs 2 carat diamond rings
It is possible that a 1-carat solitaire diamond engagement ring with outstanding color and clarity will look more attractive than a larger 2-carat diamond ring with less sparkle and more inclusions or imperfections. Remember that weight isn’t everything, and size isn’t everything either. What you must never forget to consider is the four Cs: carat weight, color grade, clarity grade, and cut grade.
Doubling the carat of the diamond will most likely double the size, but the wow factor will still depend on the quality which is significantly affected by the cut. The price reflects the overall quality of the diamond and the style of the ring.
What should I look for in a 1 carat engagement ring?
