ring size question

[pad3006]

I was wondering if anyone could give me there opinion on this.
What size princess cut diamond with side stones would look big on a size seven finger?
I found out my GF has that size and I am trying to figure what a nice size stone would cost me. Thanks

sorry I forgot to mention, I want to have trillions on the side I think.
She doesnt have real big hands, and she is small. But she would like a a good size stone.
thanks

5ct center and 2ct side stones would look great.
Less than 1ct center with .20ct each shoulders would look lousy and mean.

any advice would be apprecaited

what is the model and center stone....

I want the center stone to be a princess cut, and Trillions on the side
Does 1.5 carats look big for the center with about .65 on the sides?
thanks

I mean, it really depends on your budget and your fiancee-to-be''s tastes. I like a 2ct center with a thin pave band. I am not a "fan" of the "add the side stones to make the one stone look bigger" kinda thing...

I am a size 6 and my RB is 1.5c, my husband thinks it is too big but I think 2c is perfect!!!

The only kind of combination that I have not seen... is princess + trillions LARGER than it's sides. If anyone tries, I am not sure I want to know.

Anything else is a matter of taste, IMO. They are all nice. It is not easy to say if .65 trillions will match the size of a 1.5 princess. Both types of stones vary allot in size for any given weight due to the depth of the cut. At leats trillions go from 30% to 60% deep at least and princess cuts are not allot less variable.

I was just looking at this:

(ring at Faycullen.com)

The trillions are as larger as still feasible to set next to the emerald, and they do not look "bad" to me

The cut of your stones will ultimately determine how close to this look the ring will get, weight is good as a rough guyde.

Hope this helps.
