ACA melee

[lovegem]

I ordered a 0.25 ct 5 stone eternity band for my mother. I just received the pic from WF, and I think the stones are too small. I am thinking whether I should say no to the order or upgrade it to 0.5 ctw. So my questions are...
how big is a 5 pointer (0.05 ct) melee? and how big is a 10 pointer (0.1 ct) melee?

Ask WF to do a comparison shot for you, that''s the best way to realize the size difference. They''ll gladly do one for you!

Ditto! I''ve requested WF to send handshots of a 5 stone ring with a specific carat weight, and they were very fast at emailing them to me!

Thanks guys.

WF''s Vera is indeed very helpful. She sent me pictures of the 0.5 tcw. I think I am going to put off this ring gift until X''mas. Hopefully I will be able to get my mother the 1 tcw ring by that time. So for my mother''s bday she will get a pearl necklace and a pair of pearl earrings from me. I was hoping she could get the diamonds and the pearls together. The diamonds just have to wait.

I''m sure she will love that, it''s a very nice gift! Nothing wrong with waiting to get her the diamond band (it''s not like she knows).

What a sweet daughter you are!

0.05 ACA melee will be about 2.4 millimeters, while 0.10 ACA melee will be about 3.0 millimeters.
