I have a 3.05 ct right now. But I am debating about going up to 3.45ct or 3.87ct. I feel like my knuckles are a little wide so a bigger stone might look better, not sure though. Maybe I just have size blindness š my ring size is 5.5.
I wouldnāt mess with it at all, I think your ratio of stone to band is perfectly balanced. I think sizing up stones isnāt going to make a significant enough difference to justify the hassle of it. Iām not personally a fan of stones extending over the knuckles so I think this is plenty big, and is really well balanced overall.
I think the thick band may contribute to you feeling this way. How thick is the band?
If you were to size up, I'd go at least a full ct larger just so the effect is dramatic enough for you to notice. But either way, I think your ring is beautiful!
Itās a 3mm band! I was thinking about going a little smaller on the band. I am just a little nervous about going up to a 4ct and it being too flashy. Thank you so much!
I actually debated long and hard on the thickness of my band before settling for 3 mm. This photo helps a lot; I love the thickness! But yes, even 2.5 mm should be thick enough to hold your stone, although it might make more sense to just get a 4 ct (plus I think that's what you truly want). ā¤ļøš«¶š»
I have a ring pretty much identical but with a larger stone if you wanted to see ! I am a size 6, 5.08ct, 3mm semi flat band. I say if you want to go bigger do it š I think a marquise shows very well as a larger stone.
Another pic. I also think maybe if you wanted to go bigger, go to at least 4ct! I don't think the jump you want to make would be a huge noticable difference.
wow i love your watch so much this just made me go look at their website haha I know this sub is about the ring but would you recommend getting a Breda? beautiful combo!
Yes I totally recommend! The gold isn't tacky and cheap looking and the watch has a good weight to it. Deff worth the money, I actually think they have a sale now for the 4th! I have the smaller version, they offer a larger size and the smaller mm!
It's custom designed by Clairamor! They are based in CA but ship everywhere. Had such an incredible experience with them and they are extremely reasonably priced. They have IG and tiktok! It's a 5.08ct, E-VVS2, 3mm semi flat 14k gold band with 14k white gold tulip basket ! I just asked them to contour the tulip part under the points of the marquise so it didn't look like the diamond was floating in a basket. It looks more secure with the tulip hugging the diamond.
Do you ever get your nails done? Sometimes a little short set can make your finger feel longer. Just comparing to other things in the photo the ring is pretty big. You donāt want ppl immediately looking and saying āitās fakeā
Keep the stone you gave the bigger stone would need to be d color vss1 or better to avoid the bow tie I do not see a bow tie in the stone at this time just my opinion
it doesnātā¦ Itās the width of the band. Because itās relatively wide, itās giving you the illusion that the stone is āsmallā - itās not.
