How big is this diamond? Pic inside

[Gleam]

This teeny little thing has some sentimental value for me... but I have no idea of its specs. I don't even know its carat weight! It was a gift from a relative.

I don't like it as it is, set in six prongs as a solitaire necklace. I can't decide if it's worth it to change it into a tiny little bezel set solitaire.

Here it is compared to a penny... (sorry for the awful cell phone pics)

And here it is with my 2.5 carat e-ring.

I''m going to guess .15 carats. Can you measure it with a ruler to guesstimate the mm size?

Ditto the ruler. My guess was .20

 

[Gleam]

Urgh, we don't have a single ruler in the house. LOL Thank you for your guesses! I trust PSers.

 

[Dreamer_D]

Yes I would also say .15 to .20.

.15 ct is my guest.

Thanks, everyone! I was asking because I''m debating what to do with it, if anything... I never wear it as is.

.15-.25 depending on the cut...
What ideas did you have it mind?
I love seeing a stone that size in a nice bezel

I was thinking that, too! I''ve been inspired by some of the great bezel solitaire necklaces posted here recently.

I think it''s about .15-.2. I''m looking at bezeling a .21 OEC, so maybe we''ll have similar pendants

 

[EHR2009]

Ditto on the bezel. I think that would look great.

+1 for another bezel... you could always find one of a similar size and make earrings too (unless you wanted to showcase it as an individual)?
