I have to throw my hat into the ring on this here ring issue...
A few years ago, I was dead set on the 1 carat-round platinum VS1 from Tiffany's (which, despite its cache, is just as much of a "mall jewelry store" as the more famous ones like Kay, Zales, and BBB. They're just in nicer malls.). I didn't care whether or not my significant other (funny that I didn't have one at the time) could afford it, I wanted it--and that's all that mattered. I worked at a jewelry store at the time, so I felt as if I were the expert on fine jewelry.
It all changed when I tried on the ring. 1 carat is WAAAAY too big for my hand. I could barely keep my hand up...and I didn't want to go through life with this huge ring that was like, a down payment on a house or a semester's tuition. Plus, my tastes changed--and yours could too before you find the right person. 3/4 is probably the best for my hand, although it's not as striking as a 1 carat. I still like platinum, although I'm willing to settle for white gold. Yellow gold is too much like my skin tone.
