0.8 Carat Diamond Engagement Rings

A great quality 0.8 carat diamond ring will start at £2,000 in total.

You should be aware that diamond prices fluctuate, and this should be used as a guide price accurate at the time of writing.

A round 0.8 carat diamond ring is around 5.95mm in diameter, which isn’t tiny nor is it huge. A 0.8 ct diamond ring is considered a fairly modest size, which makes it incredibly easy to wear and versatile in terms of the setting style you can choose from.

Yes, most people can see a difference in size between a 1ct and 0.8 carat diamond ring when side by side. The difference in size is only a matter of a few millimeters in diameter, but when worn on the hand they can look distinctly different to each other.

0.8 carats is certainly big enough for an engagement ring; it will offer dazzling beauty while looking demure and on the subtler-side. Many people find a 0.8 ct engagement ring is just what they want: it’s not too big nor too small, and is very practical for those with physical occupations or active lifestyles.

Before the emergence of lab diamonds, which have lower prices-per-carat, a 0.8 ct engagement ring was deemed a fairly average size. Now, the average size of engagement ring we see is closer to 1.25 ct and expected to increase as lab diamond popularity grows.
