Hi Everyone!
My boyfriend and I are about to buy a 1.25 carat radiant for my engagement ring, and I am slightly nervous that it will look small. We looked at 3 diamonds this past weekend, and I really love one of them. It is an H VS2 and the dimensions are 6.22x5.68x3.92, L:W Ratio 1.10, 69/67 (Dep/Tab). I have heard that most diamonds look smaller loose, and once they are set they look a little bigger. I am getting a setting made with tapered baguettes that are .18 each (6mm long and 2mm tapering to 1.5mm). I am a size 6.5 if that matters.
Can anyone post pictures of their radiants that are about 1.25 carats so I can get an idea of how the size will look once it is set? Especially square radiants
Do you think this will be a good size? I would really love at least 1.5, but the price jump from 1.25 to 1.5 is just too much, and since I am having the setting custom made more of the budget it going towards that.
Thanks so much!!
