OK then, with a five stone...

I like the larger center....makes it look definitively graduated.

I vote the larger center as well.

I voted graduated, and I like the larger center stone. I have a graduated 5 stone and the proportions are really nice. (It was my grandmother's 25 anniversary ring.)

I like the super blingy 5 stones with all .3s like neatfreak's, but the graduated ones are a bit more...graceful looking?

hi dreamer! what an exciting project. i like the tapered look, and i love it with the larger center stone. something about it - has presence and elegance, and is very flattering to the finger!

Definitely graduated! I was actually playing around the other day with my e-ring (which is a three stone with a 0.65 center) and some studs. I was thinking about how I would would reset it if I ever got an upgrade (bad bad June Rose- I've only been engaged 2 months! )

This is a slightly blurry representation of what a graduated 5 stone with approx 0.15-0.33-0.65-0.33-0.15 would look like:



I much prefer the graduated look -I think it's far more elegant and feminine. But then again it depends on what setting you want -I would have mine in a rose gold trellis design. If you want a more modern look then I guess same-size stones would fit that bill.

What a cool photo june rose! It looks great. What is your finger size btw? I looked at your e-ring thread and your e-ring looks great on your hand.

Thank you! My finger is a size 5.
