I am *SO* indecisive on everything it's painful, I'm always worried about making the wrong decision and being stuck with it (see current situation lol). I'm daydreaming about what I want to buy after I hopefully sell my marquise, but I literally can't make up my mind about what shape. I've narrowed it down to elongated crushed ice pear, elongated crushed ice cushion, or a round h&a/brilliant, all around the 2-2.5 carat size. Only the first one is a lgd but I hope this post will be allowed as I'm planning on what lab grown diamond to purchase next. Please help me figure this out so I can move my daydreaming into settings! No wrong choices, I'd love to hear the arguments for/against any of these shapes.
I'd be looking for something skinnier. This is about 9.57x6.46 and I'd want something closer to 11.5 mm long and a 1.5ish ratio.
Pros of the pear: Big face up size/finger coverage. I like the elongated shape and the way it looks on my hands.
Cons: Pointy tip is kind of delicate-I'm hard on my hands and a little worried about damage. Maybe trendy. Can't picture an eternity band that would go well with it, not sure if a round band would look good.
10x7.5 elongated radiant-pretend it's a cushion, the ones on the sticker sheet were too square.
Pros: Looks good on my hands, not too trendy.
Cons: Probably can't afford the face up size I want (9.5-10mm long)
8 mm round brilliant
Pros: Classic, goes with every band. Nice finger coverage, fits my lifestyle. My coworker has a round brilliant and it catches my eye every day.
Cons: Worried I won't like the broad flashes from it instead of the shimmery crushed ice style. This was a moissanite that I haven't had in over a year and I wish I still had it so I could try it on.
