Show me your large (5+ carat) diamonds! Bonus points for antique cuts

[hyperlactemiac]

Hello all!

I’m trying to make up my mind on a size for a custom cut antique cushion. I know when you get into the larger sizes the difference in visual size per carat is smaller, so I would love to see examples from those of you who have stones in the 4-5+ carat range! I am going back and forth between a 6 and 7 ct elongated but chubby OMC, and wondering if the 14% price difference will be worth it for the extra carat. Thanks so much in advance!

You make me want an Asher. Also, your images are amazing! I have tried multiple times, but I cannot capture a good image myself.

Larger grown diamonds have a long long way to fall in price.
Consider putting it off for a year or two?
Currently price per carat on 4ct is more than double 1ct price per carat.
It will settle somewhere between half and 3/4's per carat.
