Will the shank even show? Small finger size

[Lucy2]

My finger is a size 3.5 and I'm looking at a 2.5 to 3ct round brilliant. I was wondering if you think the shank will show much - I wanted to get a pave shank but a friend told me it won't even show because the stone will take up most of my finger. If it won't show much then I won't bother getting any fancy design, and save that for the wedding band.

Yeah, It'll show. Whether or not you want bling in both places is a matter of your choice.

 

[yssie]

it will certainly show - you're only looking at an 8.5-9.1mm or so stone, a size 3.5 is a 14.5mm finger diametre and that doesn't include the shank height itself or the fact that no solitaire ever stays perfectly upright all the time..

Ditto kelpie - obviously your choice of shank.

It will definitely show- especially if you use a catherdral type setting where the shank will come up the sides of the stone.

Here is a thread for 2-3 ct center stones. I looked through the first 3 pages...smallest size I found was 4.75, but it's a droolworthy thread so look through it at your leisure...

Yes, it will show for sure. My finger is 2.75 and the diamond below including the halo measures about 11 or 12 mm.
