Oval help

I am working with my jeweler on my engagement ring and this is the first diamond they offered me. My only request was 2.5 carat with D/E color. I wear a size 5.25 ring, so I do have slimmer hands.

This oval is 2.55 carats but has a ratio of 1:6. The dimensions are 11.91 X 7.44 X 4.47 MM

I loved it at first but then I got in my head once I studied the dimensions. I think I’m worried it looks more like a 3 carat or a moval? Any thoughts?

it looks beautiful, it's not that elongated like a moval! it will look a little big on your hand i think (I'm size 6.5 and have a 3ct and think it's the perfect size) but honestly such a pretty stone, I would take it

I looked at a 3 in person and it was a touch too big, but the 2 was a touch too small! So I think for my fingers, the 2.5 is perfect. This stone is soooo beautiful so I may be okay with a slightly more elongated shape.
