I posted awhile ago wondering if I'd see a difference between a 5.8mm stone vs a 6.8mm one. I decided to go for it; here is the final product. It's in the same trellis setting with the same side stones of .83ctw.

I also got a new wedding band reminiscent of the lace band. And, one more shot of the ering in my car's passenger mirror.

Beautiful!!! :love:
 
Wow what a difference , I think it's perfect on your hand. What size is your ring? The lace and is a perfect compliment :appl:
 
VERY pretty!
 
I love the new center stone! Sure, it looks similar. But the oomph is way more! Like, comparing Marilyn Monroe is 7-year itch to Some Like it Hot -- both gorgeous, but the latter is plumper and more VAVAVOOM! ::)

And, I'm going to say it -- told you so! haha... I knew it would be an amazing upgrade. I am totally jealous and this makes me revisit my idea of making my own ring into a three stone.
 
Logan, I definitely see the difference. It looks great!! Congratulations!!
 
It looks fantastic, makes me want to three stone mine.
 
Can you tell now that it's on your hand?
 
Absolutely noticeable!! It looks great! Congrats on the upgrade :appl:

I can tell a little bit, but I'm not overwhelmed by the size diference. Maybe it's because everything else remained the same? Same setting, same sidestones?
 
Beautiful I can definitely see the difference. What's the mm of your new band?

Thanks! The new band is 2.5mm, whereas my original wedding ring is 2 or 2.1mm.

Are you happy with it though??
 
Gorgeous! Thanks for the size comparison. the 1mm does make a difference! :appl:
 
Looks fab!! I've always loved your ring. Are you happy you kept the same setting?
 
Gorgeous! I can definitely see a difference in size!
 
I can tell a size difference, for sure. I think your 3-stone looks more balanced as well -- Congrats! :appl:
 
It looks amazing! The larger center stone really pops! :love: :love:
 
I can definitely see the difference. While your original ring was beautiful, it looked more like a band of bling. I think the proportions and balance is much nicer in your new ring. It really makes the center stone pop. If you want to appreciate the size difference, have a friend try it on so you can see it. For some reason, I find that my rings look smaller when I look at it on my own hand than when I see it on someone else. {go figure}.

Enjoy your new ring. Again, it looks fab!
 
Yes...the size difference is noticeable and it looks gorgeous!
 
I am a big fan of the upgrade! I think the 3 stone proportions are much more pleasing to my eye. Congrats on the upgrade!
 
Beautiful upgrade! Definitely noticeable and suits your finger perfectly. I love the new proportions. Nice choice!
 
I think it makes a huge difference! I love the proportions with the new center stone! Very beautiful! :love: love the new band as well!
 
I see a huge difference and think it looks fantastic! Love the proportions. As others have said that center stone really pops!
 
Two more shots. I couldn't figure out why my ring looked red and then realized my iPhone case is red.
