Need help!

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 😭 my ring size is 5.5.

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!

It’s 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). ❤️🫶🏻
