My sincere apologies if I broken the rules. Just wondering if anyone here think this looks 3 carat proper because the ring was cut too deep causing the stone to appear smaller face up. Most of the carat weight is in the bottom like an iceberg.
Would a 8% overall appearance / ratio (length and width) make my stone significantly smaller? On diamond data base, my ring is 8% smaller face up compared to the standard.
No no,
@oval regret - you haven't broken any rules. It's just that it's a lose-lose sort of game. We don't know your finger size for a start, and that makes ALL the difference. And your ring *does* have a halo, and it's impossible to see your oval without the halo, so the eye is always misled. As for depth, obviously we can't see that either - so, all in all, it's impossible to tell.
However, since it's a fancy cut, there's really no 'ideal' set of specs, so I'd be looking more at how much light it returns, is it nice and white and clean, and does it have a bowtie in the middle? As for size, it's clearly very substantial on your hand, so I'd put a check against that aspect of things and be more concerned with its overall performance.
