Hello, I was wondering if any of you can post pictures of your rings for me and the carat size. I am trying to get an idea of how certain sizes look on the hand. I am looking to get between a .6 and .8 carat diamond. Thanks for your help.
 
What size is her finger?

Mine is a .71 ct. GIA certed G, VVS2 in a bezeled halo setting on a size 4.75. The halo definitely gives it some additional coverage, and I think I would have had immediate diamond shrinkage if this size had been prong set in a simple 4 prong setting.

In any case, with a step-cut diamond such as an Asscher or EC, I would focus on looking for diamonds with clarity of no more than a VS2, and colour around the G or H mark, and maybe some AGS "Is", to save some budget for size.

I think after cut and clarity, size should absolutely be your biggest concern as Asschers face up so small for their weight.
 
Thank you very much! I value your opinion. O and by the way, your ring is really pretty. I think I am going to start looking for a setting like yours.

Thank you!

My husband designed it himself, and had it made by Whiteflash. One of the last minute modifications that WF suggested, that I am so thankful that they did, was to add the beveled edge right before the bezel. In person it adds probably another .5 mm to the stone, which helps a ton since it faces up at just a hair under 5 mm.

Are you thinking EC or Asscher? An emerald cut set east-west may also give you additional finger coverage.
 
here is a link to pictures of my asscher ring.

My ring size is 7.5

I would also suggest with an asscher that small to do a halo or a thick bezel like Laurens. It will make the diamond look a lot bigger.

You can get away with going lower on the color. I got mine specifically because it was an I color but has strong blue fluorescence, which makes it appear whiter. If you do go this route make sure you buy from a place that has a return policy so you can see the diamond first. In very rare cases the fluor. can make the diamond look mikly or cloudy. Hope this helps!

I hate to tell you, but diamond shrinkage happens at any size, especially after over a dozen years! I think they shrink at night when we are asleep!

Your ring is beautiful! I was just introduced to your setting style today. May I ask where you got it from?
 
Sorry I don''t have a pic, but I saw a woman with an EC around the size you''re looking at; it was set E-W on a single shared prong band... it was absolutely stunning and gave a lotta bling for the buck!

Randi if you mean me, my fiance got my ring at adiamor.com. He loved working with them and their prices were great.
 
Thank you! I will check it out.

tberube - Your ring is spectacular! I can''t wait to see it on Saturday.
 
Here is my 20th Anniversary Present. I inherited the .50 ct. emerald cut stone and we had it set in a halo mounting with extra band. It is small, but the halo really revs it up and I love it!

Mine is at the smaller spectrum of your range, and I absolutely love the size of an under 1 ct EC. You don''t see them often (at least you don''t around here!).

.62 EC -

Thank you to all who replied. All of your rings are beautiful. I actually got engaged today and we bought my ring in the NYC diamond district from I.D Jewlery. I will post pictures shortly. Thanks again for all of your support.
