Just talk to a jeweller in person if you are worried and ask if your finger can fit the 5 x 0.4 and 5 x 0.5 diamonds, both will look amazing, there is no issue there. Cost will be quite different I imagine.
Diamond shopping IS fun!
I think you are so lucky to be getting one now! Share the quotes too of diamonds if you dont mind too
Traci from whiteflash was really helpful and said they could custom make the trellis. Brian Gavin Diamonds has a trellis already as one of their rings too on their site.

I'm still a few months out from purchase. I think I'm going to do some more local searching for size reference. Hopefully I can find a size I love.
I'm a bit hooked on the Nightingale setting from BGD. Epic!

FancyDiamonds' comparison thread is fantastic (and her rings are scrumptious) she compares the Uprong and trellis styles and how they change how the stones fit on her finger. She put five 0.5s on a 6.25 and it looks incredible in her pics, so it definitely *can* be done if that's what you want!

40pointers in a 5.75 Uprong and 50pointers in a 6.25 trellis
My mum wears a 6.5-6.75 (the ring is a 6.75) and I used 4.85mm avg for her ring - that's about 40pointers. It looks fantastic on her - the stones cover the entire top of her finger, from middle to pinky, but there's no overhang and it's very comfortable. I think I could've have gone bigger no problem though, like FancyDiamonds' ring

I wear a 6.5 but am planning to buy a 6.75 or 7 for this ring. Probably a 6.75. Don't want it too loose.

It's on the WF site? Didn't know that.
Yup that's my mum's ring - it's basically the Skye w/ separated Us for four prongs holding each stone instead of the shared prongs, and the engraving, and she wanted a thicker shank. And square holes on the undersides because for whatever reason I cared about that
The stones are actually old cuts and they're very slightly graduated, from ~4.7-5.2mm, but they average out to 4.85 each - that's why I said that.
I collected the stones myself over several months (they aren't from WF). I don't mind sharing the setting cost - it was 2300, but that included
-custom design fee - had to be custom since I wanted the separated Us and b/c the stones were graduated and a bit wonky in shape (old cuts).. but obviously if you go w/ the Skye or modify it a bit instead of going fully custom you'd avoid this
-two tone (which is more) and possibly more for the non-stock palladium-wg head
-overnight FedEx of my stones *to* them (most people USPS it themselves)
-the engraving
-repeat customer discount and wire discount
-outside stone setting fees (they took off half but it was) - if you want regular RBs definitely just have them source them! I'd guess even if you bought them one at a time if you got them from WF they wouldn't charge you to set them? Definitely something to check![]()
