its on the small side, but its not that bad. There are a ton of rings out there with .50 carat stones on them, so .75 isn't too shabby...the one I bought was 1.27 carat, (bigger than what I thought I was gonna get), but everyone's situation is different. Regardless of the size, make sure you concentrate on the other "C"s as well, because they are probably even more important than carat weight. A large diamond that has bad quality looks just like that....a large piece of crap. Anyone will tell you that a slightly smaller stone of better quality is better than a larger one of worse quality.
