Need Honest Opinion

[Iluvprettyrocks]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this forum and newly engaged. I really really love the ring my fiance picked out, but I am also a little "crazy" (I''ll admit it). When my family and friends look at my ring they say its nice and pretty-only one person has said that it is "big". So of course, I like hearing that my ring is "big", I kind of think it is a nice size. But I am scared to ask my family and friends if they think it is "big", because I think they will tell me what I want to hear...So I am asking my fellow pricescope members for their opinion. How many carats does my center stone look like it is (my ring finger is a size 4.75)? And does it look small on my finger?

Thanks

I think it looks just perfect on your hand. I am not a good judge of size, but it looks like around a carat to my eye... but your little finger means it is probably smaller in real life. Like .75ct.

People do not say "big" when commenting about diamonds in my experience. I have a 1.7ct and rarely does anyone ever comment on its size.

Whatever size it is, it''s perfect for your hand! It''s beautiful! I think the size is just right on your finger I think it looks "big"! LOL!

I think it looks about .75- 1 carat. Can you just ask your fiance? I think it is beautiful!

While size is a relative thing.....I think the general consensus iwould be that it looks like a healthy size rock for an engagement ring, and does not look puney. It''s a nice piece of bling. Enjoy it!

Congratulations on your engagement! Your ring is beautiful and it looks great on your hand. I agree that it looks like it''s around .75 ct.

In my experience, people don''t generally talk about size when they see engagement rings.

 

[Autumnovember]

I''d say 1.0 carat...and it looks absolutely perfect on your hand. If I saw it in person, I would definitely notice it and think it was a big diamond.

 

[chicky monkey]

I hear ya...I had an engagement ring (didn''t marry that guy) that someone called "dainty". Ouch!

I think it''s about a carat.

Are you disappointed with it? Did you wish for a bigger diamond?

I think it''s a beautiful ring and looks very nice on your hand!

 

[Luckyeshe]

Congrats on your engagement! I think that your ring is very pretty! It takes up a good bit of finger real estate so I would think that your ring is somewhere between .80-1.05 carats. It''s definitely not puny or anything and it sure is beautiful!

 

[Natylad]

Your ring is gorgeous and it looks amazing on your hand

I believe it is approximately one carat...

 

[yssie]

Whatever size it is, it looks lovely on your finger! We'd love some profile pics

 

[Dancing Fire]

my wife wears the same size ring,so my guess is...6.4mm

 

[AdiS]

Honestly, I''d take people calling my ring "pretty" and "beautiful" over "big" any day. If you think about it, "big" is not even that much of a compliment. I think your ring is just the right size for your hand and it is beautiful. Enjoy it!

 

[lknvrb4]

I think it looks like .75-1. It is a very pretty ring and take the compliments. Big is not always better. I had a lady who got engaged in the last office I worked in and she had to have the biggest ring she could buy but it was so yellow and full of inclusions that I just nicely told her congrats.

 

[Imdanny]

.8?

I think it looks big!

 

[oddoneout]

I think it looks lovely and in proportion with your hand.

 

[LtlFirecracker]

If I had to guess I would say .8 to 1 ct. I think it looks perfect on your hand, and the ring is beautiful.

ETA: I have a solitaire that is just over a ct and a larger finger (size 6) and a few guys at work have called it big. No one else has.

I have never used size descriptors to comment on someone''s ring in person - big or small.

I would rather hear things like beautiful, elegant, pretty, and so on than *big*! A ring pop would be *big* too!

Even then, I tend not to comment on peoples rings in real life unless they are specifically showing me their ring.

 

[gemgirl]

I think it''s a stunning ring. I wouldn''t listen to any comments made by other people. What matters is if you are happy. I think it looks lovely and perfect on your hand.

 

[missy]

I honestly think your ring is gorgeous. It is full of life and bright and looks elegant on your hand. I am not good at guessing size but if pressed I would say about 1 carat.
Congratulations on your engagement!!!


LOL Raikai about a ring pop

 

[DearBuddha]

Congrats! I think it''s a beautiful ring and it looks great on your hand!

Your finger is the same size as mine, but I wear a 1.4 e-ring that looks much smaller because it''s an asscher cut. Your ring has great finger coverage, and because it''s a round diamond it''ll face up larger than other stones. I''m going to say it''s about a carat? Either way, it''s gorgeous and you''re a lucky woman!

 

[clgwli]

I''m not very good at guessing sizes either, but I would say about a carat (give or take 25 points).

No matter what it looks great on your hand. IMO "big" is usually said when people think something is gaudy and not a good thing. Or they are being catty, so if no one says big, I''d be happy. It''s not something I want people to say when they see my ring either. Beautiful is a word I want, but big would mean to me, I actually got something too large.

I agree. It's a great size.

Also I feel like I might use the term "big" if I didn't like the person's ring at all and absolutely couldn't think of anything else. It is definitely at the bottom of my compliment list. I think it's actually a bit inappropriate to comment on the size of someone's ring unless a close friend of them or asked.

 

[Iluvprettyrocks]

You guys are good, it is a carat. Thank you for all of your compliments and helping me understand that "big" is not something people usually say.

I feel much better now

Agreed! It really does look perfect on your hand!!

 

[tyty333]

Your ring is really beautiful!

 

[caroleena]

It really is beautiful. It looks great on your hand, and the finger coverage is

 

[Autumnovember]

I do agree with everyone else about never commenting on someones ring and how its "big!"

I would THINK it is big but I would SAY "Your ring is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. It looks great on your hand"
