If so did it feel weird to look down and see a smaller size stone? Did you feel better or worse afterwards? ****** Live Life, Love Someone and Laugh Everyday****** WOOO

I know that stone will be 1) better cut vs my omc 2) same or better clarity (SI-1) 3) much higher color than my current M and 4) definitely a smaller ct weight, since I don't see anything larger than my current 2.21 ct in the future Will it be weird to look down and see a smaller diamond? Maybe...but since cut is key, I bet it will still make me smile!
