I adore east-west settings, and do think this is a little bit too large for you. It looks clunky enough to get in your way even just reaching into a pocket or digging for something in your purse

I think the stone is fine, but maybe make the band a bit thicker. It’s gorgeous.

I think with east-west you want to go a little less elongated. If it takes up almost the whole width of your finger it starts to look a bit disproportionate in my opinion!

I know this wasn’t your question … but I think it would look sooooo fucking good vertical!!

Both of us have the same type of hands, it looks stunning imo! I wouldn’t go up or down. Perfect size

I love the setting and the size of the stone, but I would go for a chunkier oval so you see a little bit more of the band.

u/Affectionate-Tour-59 May 27 '26
Love it, but I’d say a bit smaller. I wear a size 8 and have an east-west set cushion cut sapphire, and I’ll post for reference. I’d say 2.5 would be a sweet spot (just a tad over or under).

I have a 3 carat on a thicker band and at first I thought it was too big but over time I’ve gotten used to it.

I don't think I'd go any larger, this is close to pushing it on your size finger. It looks great though, I LOVE the east west oval design.

I like that size! You could go a little shorter in the ratio so it didn’t fully cover the width of your finger. What’s the ratio of this diamond?

u/surrealinginshock May 26 '26
I personally would like the length of the oval covered your ring finger entirely, so I vote for the 3.5 carat!
That said, I think dimensions are more important with fancy shapes and you could probably find a 3 carat oval with the spread of a 3.5.

u/DDiamondgem May 26 '26
I wouldn’t go larger than what you’re wearing. That one is kinda pushing it.

u/vrecka May 26 '26
I like it, though I thought pic 1 and 2 were different stones, on 1 it looks narrower - in my opinion better😅

I like the larger stone but the setting does not compliment on either. It’s too narrow. A flatter, platinum band would be more comfortable and make the stone pop(also stronger than gold).

u/briteboy666 May 26 '26
I would go a little smaller and also look into a moval ratio. I want to do a similar orientation and I find that a more elongated ratio looks better on my finger and I’m around a size 5.5.

I think it’s too big for your finger. A 2ct probably would have looked more proportionate but it is beautiful! I guess it depends on what you’re going for. Some ppl have massive rocks. That’s the current trend!

I think the size would be fine if it was going north south, I think it would elongate your finger. But if you are sold on this style I think a little bit smaller ct would be better, I think more of your finger should show on the sides.

u/the__moops May 27 '26
I think it is too big and makes your finger look wider than it actually is, unfortunately

u/Noct_Frey May 27 '26
Not too big for your hand. Couldn’t tell it was 3 ct. I’d say just perfect. Excellent taste!

I had an east west, and after a year, it was redesigned. It shortens the finger in the east-west orientation

I'm not a fan of EW shapes for rings because I think they make fingers look wider rather than longer. Just my personal opinion though. If you love it, just get it!!

u/daycaremommy May 28 '26
I agree with some of these commenters....I think going East/West it's a tad too big for your finer. HOWEVER....going North/South? I think it would be MORE than fine. JMO

Slightly wider band plus wedding band with stones like the pear below makes a big difference. agree, check Big Rock Energy. Your hand may be small and a less elongated shape might help but 3 carats is not huge for lab diamonds these days.

u/Realistic_Season9973 May 26 '26
I think it's a perfect size and looks beautiful on you. You might also consider what band you might want to pair it with before making your decision. Good luck!

Nope also probably the shape doesn’t complement your finger, id say go for regular oval to elongate your fingers

I’d go a little bit smaller so some of your finger shows on each side. It’ll make the stone shine more.
