New here! graduated 5-diamond - size 4 - too big?

[Vaggie]

Hi everyone! I''m new here - well, I''ve lurked for a couple of months, so maybe new isn''t the best word - with a question.

My bf and I have been talking about e-rings, and I''ve found a design that I absolutely adore, below. I don''t like to wear jewellery outside of earrings and the occasional bracelet for a nice dinner, though I''m young yet so that might change . Budget isn''t a concern, and I''m not really comfortable with the idea of upgrading later (I''m sentimental to the extreme)

Bf will be getting the stones separately, probably from bluenile.

I''ve got a size 3.75-4, long finger. I LOVE the look of a graduated five-stone RB ring, and I won''t be wearing a wedding band so I don''t have to worry about too much ring or bling, if that''s even possible! I tried on a few designs with five stones at a jewellery store a while ago, and one problem I ran into was that sometimes all five just didn''t look look like they FIT over the top of my finger (apparently this b&m, Smyth, stocked 6s and 7s). I don''t want a big centre stone - definitely under a carat. I found a graduated diamond picture and a bunch of charts (thankyou PSers!) and, despite everything else I really should''ve been doing, scaled them down by mm, cut out the results, pasted them onto a ring of paper...

.15-.33-.75-.33-.15 or .15-.26-.65-.26-.15. Until we can make it out to another store, which won''t be soon :-\ what do you think? How would those sizes look - and do you think they''d all fit without digging into the sides of my next fingers? I really prefer the look of the .75 ct as the centre, and I wouldn''t want to go under .6... might it be better to go with a three-stone?

Thanks everyone!!

vaggie,

you might want to see if you can try some on. when I spoke to Leon Mege some time ago about a five stone ring he told me it would be too big/long on a size 3.5-4 finger. I wear the same size as you. i''d add up the widths of the stones and then the width of your finger to get a good idea if they''d fit.

Good idea, Mrs.S, but make sure to add another 4mm to accommodate the prongs between the stones.

that''s kinda like how my ring is. I don''t know how to post pictures. But my ring goes (and i''m guessing here): .10, .20, .90(that i know for sure), .20, .10. But my ring size is 6.25. So when my finger''s are together, you can''t see the band, the diamonds don''t dig into my fingers are all. But my fingers are bigger, so i don''t know about your diamonds. i hope this helps.
