It\u2019s an age-old question that humans have pondered for generations in a variety of contexts, including in reference to the size of one&#8217;s engagement ring diamond. In decades past, the size of the ring was the \u201cbe-all, end-all\u201d due to societal pressures, and other engagement ring features like cut, clarity, color, and setting style took a back seat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in 2021, is it still the size that matters most or have other facets of an engagement ring like quality, brilliance, and style become most important? How do opinions about diamond size vary by gender, generation, relationship status, and even location?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our pursuit of answers to these burning questions and more, we asked 3,462 Americans to weigh in. Shane Co. surveyed respondents across various demographics and all 50 states to uncover how much an engagement ring\u2019s diamond size really matters when it comes to proposals. Other questions posed include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What is the ideal carat size of an engagement ring?<\/li><li>Would the diamond size impact your likeliness to accept a proposal from your partner?<\/li><li>Would you consider upgrading your diamond\u2019s carat size over time?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to see the full survey results and where your state lands on diamond size!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The States Where Large Diamond Sizes Matter Most (and Least)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"6238\" height=\"12542\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 6238px) 100vw, 6238px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShaneCo_Engagement-Rings_DesignFile_1.png\" alt=\"Infographic data with the U.S. state with the largest preferred diamond size\" class=\"wp-image-5957 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShaneCo_Engagement-Rings_DesignFile_1.png 6238w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShaneCo_Engagement-Rings_DesignFile_1-149x300.png 149w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShaneCo_Engagement-Rings_DesignFile_1-191x384.png 191w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 6238px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 6238\/12542;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To start, we asked respondents in all 50 states to rate the significance of an engagement ring\u2019s diamond size on a scale of 1 to 5 (where 1 = low significance and 5 = high significance). The <strong>national average rating overall was 2.47<\/strong> \u2014 a bit lower than anticipated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With an <strong>average rating of 3.18<\/strong>, 28.8% above the national average, <strong>Tennessee<\/strong> is the state where residents care about diamond size the most, followed by <strong>New Jersey (3.16), Texas (3.14), and Connecticut (3.08). <\/strong>Out of the 10 states where large diamonds matter most in engagement rings, four states are located in the Northeast, and three states are located in the South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, certain states gave diamond size incredibly low significance when it comes to engagement rings. With an <strong>average rating of 1.90<\/strong>, 22.8% below the national average, <strong>Montana<\/strong> is the state where residents care about diamond size the least, followed by <strong>Wyoming (1.96), Iowa (1.98), and Mississippi (2.0).&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diamond Size Significance by Gender &amp; Relationship Status<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"6238\" height=\"16442\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 6238px) 100vw, 6238px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShaneCo_Engagement-Rings_DesignFile_2.png\" alt=\"Data about what type of individual cares the most about diamond size\" class=\"wp-image-5958 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShaneCo_Engagement-Rings_DesignFile_2.png 6238w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShaneCo_Engagement-Rings_DesignFile_2-114x300.png 114w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShaneCo_Engagement-Rings_DesignFile_2-146x384.png 146w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 6238px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 6238\/16442;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we looked at diamond size significance by demographics such as gender and relationship status. <strong>Ironically, men and proposers care more about the diamond size <\/strong>of an engagement ring than do women and \u201cproposees\u201d(i.e., the people being proposed to). 61% of men and a strong 70% of proposers think the diamond size is important when it comes to engagement rings, whereas only 47% of women and 46% of \u201cproposees\u201d think the diamond size is truly important.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/style-beauty\/fashion\/a27472528\/small-diamond-trend\/\">Cosmo<\/a>, \u201cwomen are gravitating towards smaller diamonds now\u201d and are prioritizing features like radiance, setting style, and stone shape above simply having a big rock.

The largest percentage of respondents (almost 20%) say the <strong>diamond shape is most important,<\/strong> followed by carat size (16.6%), clarity (14.5%), and color (12.7%).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The diamond\u2019s shape is particularly important as it sets the tone for the style of a ring. For instance, princess and emerald cuts evoke an Art Deco vibe. Marquise cuts feel vintage, and cushion cuts are best for a classic, more traditional look.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asking which factor is most important while engagement ring shopping, the largest portion of respondents (32%) say beauty\/style, followed by quality (29%) and durability (17%). When it comes down to it, aesthetics triumph above all else. The majority of us want to look down at a beautiful ring that matches our taste levels, personality, and sense of style.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engagement Ring Statistics: According to Popular Opinion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"8580\" height=\"15767\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 8580px) 100vw, 8580px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShaneCo_Engagement-Rings_DesignFile_4.png\" alt=\"Engagement ring statistic data\" class=\"wp-image-5960 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShaneCo_Engagement-Rings_DesignFile_4.png 8580w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShaneCo_Engagement-Rings_DesignFile_4-163x300.png 163w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShaneCo_Engagement-Rings_DesignFile_4-209x384.png 209w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 8580px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 8580\/15767;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, <strong>4.3 out of every 10 people <\/strong>say that the diamond size <strong>would impact their likeliness of saying \u201cyes\u201d or \u201cno\u201d when being proposed to<\/strong>. 36% of people even admit they would go as far as asking their partner to purchase a larger carat size if they felt unsatisfied. Tough crowd!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The diamond size is far less likely to deter a divorced respondent from accepting a proposal than an engaged respondent. 46% of engaged respondents say that a diamond&#8217;s carat size would impact their likeliness to accept a proposal from their partner whereas only 7% of divorced respondents would say the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, the largest portion of respondents say the ideal diamond is 1 to 2 carats and costs anywhere from $1,001 to $5,000 \u2014 a range that sits just below Real Simple\u2019s estimated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realsimple.com\/beauty-fashion\/shoes-accessories\/jewelry\/engagement-ring-cost-2020\">average price of an engagement ring<\/a>, $5,600.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That wraps up our study on diamond size significance! We\u2019ve learned that depending on geography and demographics, diamond size can be inconsequential or it can be an ultimate deal-breaker!
