I am new here. My husband and I just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. He surprised me with a 3 stone diamond ring because we have three children. So I got to thinking about the engagement ring I have had on my finger for 20 years.
My engagement ring is .33 carats. We didn''t skimp on quality so it''s a nice stone. When he purchased it 20 years ago he used all the money he had - just got out of college.
What I need to know is if I were to get a new ring (I''d keep the .33 I already have) would there be much visual difference in size between my round .33 versus a round .50 considering each were about the same quality? How much bigger does the diamond have to be to really make a trade up from a .33 worth it?
I know everyone likes the biggest diamond they can get, but anything over 1 carat would be too much for me.
Thanks so much and looking forward to getting to know all of you!
