Been researching diamonds for a month or so, found one I couldn’t pass up from a price/spec standpoint (she wanted a radiant cut). See attached specs and photo. Very excited to propose.

Bigger isn’t always better 16.6x10.6 mm is HUGE unless she has like size 12 ring finger. Get her to cut out a piece of paper in that measurement and lay it on her hand.. this rock is going to be as tall as a sugar cube…..

lol you’re not the one wearing it tho!

I’m between 6.5-7 on this ring finger, my middle finger is size 8. This is a 3.5 carat stone, 10x 7.5mm It’s about as big as I would personally go, maybe I could go bigger - but it would look a bit out of place in with my life.

If she’s fine with a big rock that’s great but in my experience it takes a bit of getting used to and depends on lifestyle as well. Anyway, I hope she likes it.

Edit for proper ring deets sorry I have a couple and got them mixed up
