Hi,

Considering two diamonds are ideally cut same color, clarity specs.

Will I notice a significant difference between a 5.92mm (0.77 ct) V. a 6.24mm (0.925 ct) round brilliant diamond?

I wear a size 6 finger and want a little more finger coverage. 1 carat would be a lot more.

Looking online not in person.

Thank you for reading, I would appreciate your feedback.

Depends on the stats of the stone larger table on one may be different then the depth of the other ...Plus its easier to see in photo do you have pictures
 
Re: Vis. upgradable diff. btwn. 5.92mm V. 6.24mm ideal RB di

No I don't have pictures. All I know is that the 6.24 mm is the diameter (top) or table?? and my current 5.92 mm is the top of mine.

Sorry if I sound misinformed. Just looking for more finger coverage and wondering if this would be an noticeable difference.

I read somewhere on PS that you may save some money by buying around 0.9 carat if you would like something close to a full carat.

Any feedback is appreciated.

I think it would be a significant difference. I went from .31 diamond studs to .50 diamond studs (to clarify each stud were these carat weights so my current set is 1 ctw) and there was a very noticeable difference. It would, of course, be even more pronounced in larger diamonds.
Also I have an EC diamond as my solitaire. It's 6.24 x 5.71. I set it e-w so the main coverage across my finger is the 6.24 measurement. Looks much larger that way. BTW it's a 1.11ct, but fancies face up smaller than rounds.

Hope this helps.

It's a visual difference. And I think it's worth it.

0.32 is significant visual difference to me. Do you have a compass that you can use to draw two circles for comparison?
 
Re: Vis. upgradable diff. btwn. 5.92mm V. 6.24mm ideal RB di

Absolutely go for the .92 as long as the depth is not over 62 (or 62.3) and it is really ideal cut!

Incidentally, the diameter, which we use to compare face-up size, is not the same as the table size. The table is just a percentage of the top portion of the stone (the flat part on top surrounded by the crown), such as 56%.

Thank you all for your help! I really appreciate all your collective feedback....I can always count on you guys.

Will keep you posted on what happens...
Have a great week!

Oh...forgot to ask:

Does anyone know of a thread that has an approximately 6.24mmish round brilliant diamond ring?

Thanks again!

The key to this is to think about area rather than diameter

Assuming that a round diamond if viewed from above looks flat the best thing to do would be to work out the area of the diamond's circular outline.

The area of circle is Pi x radius x radius or Pi x radius squared or Pi x half the diameter squared.

I'm going to assume that the larger diamond has a diameter D and the smaller diamond has a diameter d.

If I assume that these diamonds are perfectly round then the percentage increase in
area is:

[(Pi x half D x half D / Pi x half d x half d) x 100%] - 100

However we can simplify this. the Pi's and the halves cancel out.

Thus the % increase in diamond area is
[(D x D) / d x d) x 100%] - 100

[(6.24 x6.24 / 5.92 x 5.92) x 100%] - 100

=11.10 %

The bigger diamond has an 11.10% larger area than the smaller diamond.


What you have to decide is whether this increase is worth it.

Best wishes,

Oh I see....thinking in terms of surface area for finger coverage makes sense.. thx Supersleuth

Hello....

@diamondseeker or anyone else that has time to further elaborate.
You mentioned depth no more than 62.3....it is officially 62.1
Is that super close as in pass on it?

Thanks

62.1 is fine. If depth percentage is too deep the stone will appear smaller for it's ct weight when viewed 'face up', but a stone can also be cut too shallow, which can negatively affect the stone as well. We typically recommend a range of 60-62.3, but certain proportions will require a stone to fall slightly outside of these.

BTW, what are the proportions of the two stones that you are considering? Table, depth, pavilion and crown. They are listed on the reports.

Here are two CZ's one 6mm and the second 6.25mm which is a very close comparison to the difference you are considering.

eek, this thread is very enabling! :bigsmile:
 
Re: Vis. upgradable diff. btwn. 5.92mm V. 6.24mm ideal RB di

Wow...thank you for posting those two side by side stones....super helpful!

Now just have to decide if that will be worth it. Difficult without actually trying it on. Thank you so much!

My stone has a depth of 62.4
