Hey y'all. I am new around here. I am looking at 5 stone bands to go with my round with tapered baguettes engagement ring. I am struggling with settling on a size for the round diamonds. I have poured over all the threads I can find. So my center stone is 1.5 carats with .2 carat baguettes. I can't get a straight band to sit flush and the 5 stone seems to minimize the very small gap created by the basket and tapering baguettes. My ring size is a 7.5. And that 5 stone band is about a 5.5. So we had to work to get it on there. I know that will also have an impact on how the rings sit once they are sized correctly.
So here is a .75 tcw (15 pointers) on my hand close up.
From arm's distance
a more "real life" perspective (sorry, I don't know how to turn it)
And then my ring with two different bands. I think it's 10 pointers on the left and the 15 pointers on the right.
The lady in the store said she thinks my fingers are long enough that I need the width of the .75 tcw. But I am afraid it overwhelms my 1.5 carat center and looks just a little flashy. But the smaller bands do seem to just disappear on my hand. So I am so torn on what to do. Do I go with the .75 tcw 5 stone? Or do I have them replace the basket with something that will allow a different band to sit flush so I can have more band options? Or if you have other suggestions, I am all ears! Thank you!
