This is a 5.12 carat OEC I was fortunate enough to try on a couple of years ago. It felt big. Really big....at first. And I’ve had the photos saved and keep looking at them, and dare I say now that the size looks quite tasteful? :cool2:

Ring is a size 6...I usually wear a 6.5.

Haven’t tried on a step cut in such a large size but that would be an experiment I would certainly be willing to do.

Oh it looks great on your hand! Not too big at all, tasteful and classy with some major presence ;-) I’m a big fan of simple solitaire settings for really big, beautiful stones (I like complicated settings too, but I think they look best with smaller or colored stones).

Oh, Lord, my husband will hate to hear that. :lol: So I should aim for what, 10.5 mm + ?

I think it’s time you tell hubby that your internet friend convinced you you should go big or go home, with a 15mm honker ;-) some judicious application of smelling salts later he might be amenable if you agree to settle for a 10.5mm :devil::lol:

This looks really gorgeous on you!!! Honestly, not too big, it looks tasteful and elegant.

That’s the perfect size on you imo. Gorgeous with presence and not OTT. At all. It’s perfect. Though a bit larger would also be perfect imo but I’m a size ho :lol: ❤️

You see, THIS is why we need to schedule group shopping trips.

Who is it that had the signature line that said 1-800-WE-ENABLE? :lol:

While we’re talking big bling...this ring made me seriously consider a trilogy for the first time. 7.84 carats of OECs. It was unbelievable. My first thought was, “wow, this is a bit much for every day.”

Five minutes later I missed it.

So...my conclusion about how big a ring/earrings one would wear is that you might not know until you try them on.

As for earrings, I think I’m limited by my small earlobes, and fortunate to have recently maxed those out with gorgeous 2.22 ctw CBI studs from the amazing @Wink (old studs on the left at 5.3 mm, new studs on the right at 6.6 mm).

This is a gorgeous ring, but 83K for a 7.8ctw be a bit high? Just thinking out loud...

I used to think 2 ct maximum ring until I got a 3 ct “tester”. Now that looks small. I think I could do 6 ct. I have 2 ct each ear and I think I could go up 1/2 ct each ear.
