Proposal!!! What is a big diamond?

[boobsboobsboobs]

My (soon to be) brother in law has asked for my help picking a ring for my sister for a post lock down proposal!

Obviously, we can only look online at the moment but it seems that some sites like blue nile offer quite good value and we hope to visit Hatton Garden when we can.

I know that she wants a big solitaire on a platinum band... but what is big?!

One carat? Two carats? Somewhere in between? Just looking for a general consensus.

I don't want to bring up rings now as it would be so out of the blue over the phone / FaceTime and I don't want to alert her

He has a decent budget so it would be balancing the size and the quality!

@NotTheOnlyPomInTheVillage Agree with you on the deposit point! Wow 4.2 carat that sounds amazing!

@boobsboobsboobs - I can't remember the details of mine but I do know it's a brilliant cut and all the specs are within range for a Tiffany diamond. I would have to track down the certificate but I do remember that it was all suitably high on the 4Cs. I plan to have i trust when I can afford to as I don't like the setting any more - I chose it and it was what I wanted but I think at the time I was all about jewellery that wasn't too delicate or pretty and I messed up. But no, the diamond never looks dark. It's always bright and light.

Sorry, I plan to have it reset when I can afford to.
