I am wondering what PS'ers really think about larger diamonds, particularly RB's?
I recently posted about my friend's 5ct F VS2 stone and the thread received far less comments/ compliments than those I'd received for my own RHR which is a 3.5ct halo'ed pear. In fact, a few PS'ers seem to like/ prefer my "smaller" rings, which also include a 3.02ct F VS2 (thank you, he he
).
On the other hand, the Celebrity Ring thread is only of the longest running here on PS.
Just wondering how you guys really feel about larger stones? Most of us here, myself included, confess to being size wh*** and yet there seems to be distinct lack of interest for larger stones (unless it seems the wearer is a celebrity).
Is it my imagination?
I realise that everyone is different in their tastes, but generally it seems that most PS'ers would prefer to go for size, and after cut, would sacrifice colour in order to gain in size. And yet, not so many people here seem to be very keen on 5ct diamonds or larger (and I am not talking about costs here but of course I realise that costs definitely come into consideration). Just purely from the point of view of lusting after a *dream* diamond, most PSers' do not seem to .
I'd love to own a larger stone some time in the future (probably much much further in the future, given the recent economic developments or rather lack of) and I see myself owning (or hoping to own) a 5 or 6 carater, probably a RB or an emerald cut diamond. Do you think they're too gaudy? Is it not perceived too well IRL in general? I'd have no problem at all wearing one and the crowd I mix with (which actually is very diverse) couldn't give a t***, either way. They just know I *LOVE* diamonds and kind of put up with my madness. Only a few (very few, including my tai tai friend) appreciate them but most just accept that diamonds are part and parcel of what makes me who I am. I think my friends like me, regardless of whether I have or do not have diamonds, which is really great. I also love my friends for much different reasons, like a genuine heart, intellectual reasons etc. In fact, I hang out with people whom I like and with whom I have some common interests and vice versa, without really thinking as to why we're friends in the first place.
So my question is purely one of curiosity and I'd love to hear from other diamond addicts like yourselves.
