Making your center stone appear bigger

[Busybee6778]

Any suggestions on how to choose a setting that will make your center stone appear bigger?? Thanks in advance

Hi! Here are a few ideas:
-Choose a thin band and simple setting like a 4 prong
-go with an oval center stone. Even in the same carat weight as a round, it will look physically larger
-Stick with a solitaire or something with very very small pave accent stones. Don't go for a three stone setting.

I hope this helps!!

I really love the victor canera settings wit halos. But I haven't seen any pics with a smaller diamonds like 1ct-1.5ct. These sound like some good options to consider! Thanks so much for your help & replies!

I actually found the opposite. Coworkers and friends think anything under 2cts is small and 1ct is the minimum. Of course most of them have ugly I2 poorly cut stones with no life in them at all.

This was one of the few forums where people assured me 1ct wasn't small.
