so, my fiancee and I have been looking for an engagement ring for almost 2 months now. I know I want an unheated Ceylon sapphire, and a halo setting in white gold. I basically have 2 different options right now that I''m trying to decide between. Both center stones are very similar in cut clarity and color. one is a 3 ct medium blue sapphire in a lower set pave halo setting with pave around half of the band. the other is a 3.95 ct sapphire with a halo made up of larger (but still small) diamonds around the halo and pave around the band. It is also white gold, and is set a little higher. Both of them are in our budget, and since it is my engagement ring, I really don''t mind spending a little more to get the bigger ring if that''s what I decide I want. I am going to be wearing the ring with one small thin white gold band (for sentimental reasons) and a thin eternity band. When I''m at work or school I''ll probably just wear the plain gold band. My main reason for debate is that I have relatively small hands and wear a ring size of 4-4.5. I''m just worried that the larger ring might look gaudy or be too large to be comfortable in the long term. anyone have an opinion? do you think 4 cts is too big for someone with smaller hands, with the halo? or do you think it''ll be fine, and make more of a statement?
