Sometimes, when I'm looking at my ering in certain angles, it looks so small, diminutive, on my finger. But then other times, I catch it at a different angle, or in the mirror, and it looks colossal!

Anybody else experience selective DSS (shrinking AND growing), like me?

Yes.









Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be...

Yes...my diamond is big compared to just about any that I see in normal life situations, so when I'm out and about, it looks big. At home, though, with nothing to compare to...it shrinks right down. :-(

This happens to me. I notice that when I look at it straight on, it looks smaller. If I look at my ring at an angle, though, it seems larger. I'm not sure if this is because I have large hands (the finger coverage issue), so looking at my diamond at an angle brings my focus to the diamond itself and not just how it looks on my finger?

I often just wear my bands as well, then when I wear my e-ring again it seems bigger.

Looking at it through a loupe also helps :)

Whenever I feel DSS I just make my daughter model my ring for me. Quick and easy cure.
