Large? Yes. Too Large? NO WAY!

Once you wear it a while the size will "shrink" a bit and you'll be saying.. "hmm.. DSS?"
It's absolutely gorgeous and perfect on your hand! No worries =)

Thanks for the reassurance, bean! I do think it's a matter of getting used to it, as well.

DS I hope you know that by referencing the similar sizes of our stones I was in no way trying to say that my opinion is more valid that yours or there is something wrong with your POV. I suspect in fact that you are a much more sensitive and socially aware person than I, and so if anything your opinion on this is probably better than mine! :))

But I do agree babynurse should not listen to us in the peanut gallery. It is easy to urge someone else on in something when one has no personal experience. I certainly have never owned or worn a 3.5ct diamond!

But I would sure like to :Up_to_something: At least to wear around the house.

Ha ha! Thank you for the compliment! It's been great hearing everyone's feedback and I've decided to keep it :)) .

No way jose! Looks perfect to me! I'll tell you what's too large, your round yellow Barry chryso and you should immediately send it to me.

This stone would look fantastic in rose gold-love the chunkiness!

I laughed so hard when I read this (and thank you for the enabling, btw!)! That chrysoberyl from Barry is the same size as this diamond and I actually wore it about half an hour/day for a couple of weeks to get an idea what a stone like this would be like.
Your chryso is pretty darned amazing-- have you had it set?

Looks just right to me. Don't think you need a halo or sidestones. :lol:

Thank you, FD! Nope, definitely won't need a halo!

Your chryso is pretty darned amazing-- have you had it set?

*gasp* you wore it as in, you've gotten it set and I haven't seen it???? Or you had it in one of those stone holder things? If you've set it and not posted pictures I'm going to pinch you.

My round yellow from Barry is set and should be here tomorrow! I've got a couple threads about it in CS floating around. I've got the yellow supernova too, but that's not set yet..hopefully soon. Still, I always have a place ready for your Barry, should the need arise!

Without reading the other posts, you just said you love this stone. If you feel comfortable with the size, then no, it's not too big. I think it's just beautiful.

Thanks so much, Gothgrrl! I've given it a lot of thought and I'm really at peace with this stone now :sun: !

I wish I were that organized! No it isn't set yet; I wore it for very short periods of time in one of those stone holders :wink2: .

Wow, am I excited to see your new ring :appl: :appl: :appl: ! I remember your thread but can't picture the setting you settled on :confused: . Who worked on it and what metal did you go with (I definitely remember there being yellow gold in it)? Please post some pictures of it tomorrow!

"Too large" is not a concept I'm familiar with.

If you feel like you'll be able to wear it in your everyday life without worrying or feeling conspicuous, wear it and love it in good health! It's stunning.

Thank you, princess! I'm already mostly over being self-conscious about its size and looking forward to getting it set :appl: !

Thank you, diamondseeker! Yes, you would know first hand just how beautiful these stones are. I think somehow GOG's images capture the beauty of the cushions a little better than that of the OECs. The vimeo videos are a tremendous help, but there's nothing like seeing these rounds in person. The chunky facets reflect such beautiful pastels and the pattern itself is so flower-like. They're gorgeous! I wish I'd known about these when I was first engaged (waay back in 2000!).

I will definitely share an abundance of pictures!

I'd like to add that I think your set is beautiful! Your Leon engagement ring setting is just lovely, and combined with your (Tiffany?) wedding band... it's just the look I'd like to achieve!

So gorgeous! It looks so good on your hand too! Definitle not too big UNLESS you don't feel comfortable wearing it. I sure hope you get comfortable though, because, WOW, so beautiful!!!

Thank you for the compliments, Krae11! I was ill at ease with its size but after giving it some thought, and hearing everyone's point of view, I've decided to keep it and I'm really excited about it!

Shoot. I'm 4.25 too and I would wear that to the grocery store and dog groomer's. I think it looks amazing on your hand.

I really laughed when I read this kelpie! And would you believe, later that day I was thinking "... OK, if she would wear it to the grocery store and dog groomers, maybe it really isn't such a big deal..." Pretty silly to take it literally , but you know how it can be when you're trying to make a tough decision :rolleyes: .

Too large? Are you kidding? It's not too large unless you need a sling to help support the weight on your hand...and even then, there are exceptions. :lol:

Seriously, this is just phenomenally gorgeous, baby nurse. It looks perfect on your hand, and I can't wait to see how you set it! Congratulations!
