Hello everyone,
This is my first time starting a thread in any forum. Like most, I have been addicted to Pricescope and looking at all the stunning rings. My BF and I have discussed marriage for a couple months now and are currently in search for the perfect ring that reflects our relationship and style. We both like simplicity and elegance. I have to say that my BF is awesome because he has allowed me to research and look for the ring that I want; however, he wants to surprise me of when, where, and how he will propose. Therefore, for a couple of months now I have been looking through the internet and stores for the perfect ring. I so enjoyed going through Pricescope and looking at all the lovely rings posted (especially hand shots as it gives it a great feel of what it looks like). After so many months of searching, we decided on a custom ring. I have chosen moissanite because the stone is beautiful, strong, and carries a great price. I am the type of person that doesn’t care about whether the stone is a diamond, sapphire, ruby, or any other gem and the investment value its carries. I feel all stones are beautiful, especially with the right setting.
My big decision is what size center stone to choose. I have a size 4 ring size and my fingers are long and slender. Therefore, big and flashy rings don’t look well on my finger (or so that is how I feel when I put them on). With that said, I want a respectable stone. Without giving out too much on the design of the ring (as I would like to post it later on this forum), the band on the solitaire will have a design (more like a texture). The center stone is the only stone that will be on the ring. Because of this, I was wondering which size is better for a simple solitaire ring: a 6.5mm (1 carat size) or a 7mm (1.4ct)?
I have seen both sizes of the stone (loose) and like the 7mm. However, after thinking about it, I wonder when the stone is set on the ring if it will look bigger because of the setting – even though the setting is simple and has not accent (halo).
Has anyone been through this? Any thoughts or opinion?
Can you please post pictures of your 1ct - 1.5ct ring in hand shots mood (preferably solitaire) so I can see them and get a feel for what they look like?
Thanks!
