A 1 carat engagement ring is the ring most people picture, and the first question about it is always the same: what will the finished ring cost? Here you can see real [1 carat diamonds](https://diamonds.com.lb/1-carat-diamonds-lebanon/) in our Beirut stock with their prices, pair one with a setting in [build your ring](https://diamonds.com.lb/build-your-ring/), and see how the complete ring is priced and made. Every diamond is natural and GIA or HRD certified.

> **Quick answer:** A 1 carat engagement ring is priced in two parts: the diamond, whose price is shown on its page, and the setting, quoted the same day on WhatsApp for your chosen metal. A well-cut 1 carat round measures about 6.4 mm across. At diamonds.com.lb in Beirut, the ring is made to order in about a week to ten days.

## Solitaire settings for a 1 carat diamond

A solitaire puts all the attention on one stone, the classic home for a full carat. Each design is made to order in Beirut in 18K white, yellow or rose gold or platinum.

Other styles suit a 1 carat centre too: a [hidden halo](https://diamonds.com.lb/hidden-halo-engagement-rings-lebanon/) adds sparkle in profile, a [halo](https://diamonds.com.lb/halo-engagement-rings-lebanon/) makes the stone read larger, and [pavé](https://diamonds.com.lb/pave-engagement-rings-lebanon/) or [three-stone](https://diamonds.com.lb/three-stone-engagement-rings-lebanon/) designs carry diamonds along the band. See all our [engagement rings in Lebanon](https://diamonds.com.lb/engagement-rings/).

## How the finished ring is priced

We price the two parts separately, so you see where your budget goes:

- **The diamond.** Its price is shown on its page and in the grid above, set against the Rapaport benchmark for its grade (see [how we price](https://diamonds.com.lb/how-we-price/)).
- **The setting.** It depends on the metal, the weight of the mount and any small diamonds it carries. Platinum costs more than 18K gold, and a plain solitaire costs less than a pavé or halo design.

Once you have chosen both, we quote the finished ring the same day on WhatsApp: the diamond at its listed price plus the setting in your metal. When you compare quotes elsewhere, check whether "1 carat" means the centre diamond or the total weight of every diamond in the ring: a ring sold as one carat total weight can carry a centre stone well under a carat.

*On the hand, cut and setting decide how large a carat reads.*

## How a 1 carat diamond looks on the hand

A well-cut round 1 carat diamond measures about 6.4 to 6.5 millimetres across the top, a confident centre stone that does not look heavy. An oval or pear of the same weight spreads across a longer outline and looks larger, while a stone cut too deep hides weight underneath and looks smaller. A slim band makes the stone look bigger by contrast, and four claws show a little more of the diamond than six. Our [carat size guide](https://diamonds.com.lb/diamond-carat-size-guide-hand/) shows each weight on the finger.

## 0.90 or 1.00 carat?

Prices step up at the 1 carat line, but visible size does not. A well-cut 0.90 carat round measures about 6.2 mm, a difference nobody notices on the hand. Because it sits below the threshold, it costs less per carat, which is why the grid above starts at 0.90. If the full weight on the certificate matters to you, choose 1.00 carat; if the look matters most, a stone just under it is a smart buy. We will gladly send both on WhatsApp, with their videos.

## Building your ring, step by step

1. Choose a diamond from the grid above, or from every stone in our [certified loose diamonds](https://diamonds.com.lb/loose-diamonds/).
2. Choose a setting and metal in [build your ring](https://diamonds.com.lb/build-your-ring/).
3. Review the ring and ask for its price on WhatsApp. We confirm the design, metal and [ring size](https://diamonds.com.lb/ring-size/) with you.
4. Reserve with a deposit. The ring is made to order in about a week to ten days.
5. Pay the balance and collect by appointment in Beirut, or receive free insured delivery within Greater Beirut.

Short on time? The express option sets your diamond into a ready-made mounting in 24 to 48 hours, with a narrower choice of designs and sizes. Made-to-order settings cannot be refunded once crafted, so every detail is confirmed before work begins.

## Common questions about 1 carat engagement rings

### How much does a 1 carat engagement ring cost in Lebanon?

It is the price of the diamond plus the setting. The diamond's price is shown on its page and in the grid above, and depends mostly on cut, colour and clarity. The setting is quoted the same day on WhatsApp for your metal; a plain solitaire costs less than a pavé or halo.

### How big is a 1 carat diamond on the finger?

A well-cut 1 carat round measures about 6.4 to 6.5 mm across the top. An oval or pear of the same weight looks larger because its outline is longer, and a slim band makes any centre stone look bigger by contrast.

### Which colour and clarity suit a 1 carat engagement ring?

In white gold or platinum, a near-colourless G or H usually faces up white; in yellow or rose gold, an I or J works well. For clarity, aim for eye-clean, often VS2 or SI1, confirmed on the stone's 360° video rather than on the grade alone.

### How long does it take to make a 1 carat engagement ring?

About a week to ten days from the moment you reserve with a deposit. If you need it sooner, we can set your diamond into a ready-made mounting in 24 to 48 hours, with a narrower choice of designs and sizes than a ring made to order.

### Can I order a 1 carat engagement ring from abroad?

Yes. Choose the diamond and setting remotely on WhatsApp, with the certificate and 360° video, and reserve with a deposit. The finished ring waits in Beirut, where you pay the balance and collect it by appointment when you land.
