My fiance just proposed to me about a month ago and I was soooo exited to see my ring. Its a princess cut 3/4 center stone with 3/4 princess cut stones on each side totaling 21/4 carats with all white gold. I think its beautiful but everyone I show doesnt seem as exited as I am. They look at it like any old average ring. Is it small, average, what is average, helpppp

That sounds like a decent sized ring to me.
I think your friends are jealous.

When are girls going to realize that size does not matter.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. If everyone liked the same jewelry, we would all have the exact same rings.
Your ring is not going to please everyone and it does not even matter because this is your ring, not theirs.
Now, stop questioning why someone is not thrilled with your ring and just be happy.
Your ring is TWO AND A QUARTER CARATS. nuff said.

It sounds beautiful, and more than big enough.

seriously? sounds like you may be too young or immature to be engaged to be married if you’re concerned about this. it’s not the size or cut of the diamond that matters, it’s the love that it represents. my husband proposed to me with just a silver band, and it has not left my finger in over 3 years. you need to get your priorities straightened out.

only 10% of women have a ring a carat or over.

Listen your beloved gave that ring to you and you love it! I wish that I was engaged. You cherish what he can afford. Besides, some friends and family are just jealous.

It sounds like you have some jealous friends. The size isn’t what matters. It’s how much he spent. Did he spend two months (net) salary? That’s considered average.
Now, I personally think your ring sounds beautiful and I’m happy to hear you also think it’s beautiful. Really, that’s what matters, no matter what he spent. Don’t worry about what others think, chances are, they’re comparing your ring in their minds to the one they wish they had.
And that’s another point. Are the people you are showing single? Maybe they wish they had a ring on. Are they married and maybe unhappy? Maybe they think you’re making a mistake? My point is you can’t really know what they’re thinking so just don’t worry about it.
Be proud of your ring, because he bought it for you. It is a symbol of his love and that’s what matters.

Is your fiance a zillionaire? If so, the ring is way too small and he does not take you or your relationship seriously. Does he flip burgers? If so, he spent way too much on someone who seems not to appreciate his gesture. Do you compare every aspect of him and your relationship to your perceived expectations of your friends? If so, you are setting yourself and him up for a lifetime of disappointment. Or, do you love him for who he is and accept his proposal of marriage for better or worse, richer or poorer? If so, you are in good shape and your ring is exciting and beautiful.

Your friends are very jealous. 2 1/4 carat is HUGE (at least in my opinion). Plus, it really doesn’t matter. It’s the love that the ring represents, not the size of the diamond. My engagement ring is very modest (white gold with a few small diamonds) and I adore it. My fiance knew I prefer the small, elegant, modest look instead of over the top. But to each his own, if you like big diamonds, you definitely got one lol. Be happy with your fiance and go tell your friends to pound sand if they have a problem with your ring!
Congrats!

Wow, seriously? Are you that concerned with how big your ring is? It shouldn’t matter how much he spent or how big it is, the point is he gave it to you and wants to spend his life with you. You need to be a little less materialistic and not get upset just because you’re friends aren’t gushing over “how huge your ring is”
it doesn’t matter, grow up and appreciate it.
