Will there be much of a size difference?

[mani5ha]

The more quotes I recieve, the more confused I am.

I''ve seen a really nice 0.97 carat diamond (I can''t afford 1ct) however I''ve also seen a couple of 0.90 carat diamonds

Both will be exceptionally cut, but i''m just wondering, will you even be able to tell 0.10 ct difference??! the price is considerably higher for the 0.97

A tiny difference side by side, but really it''s negligable. Also look at the mm measurements on the comparison stones. Some have a larger diameter than others depending on cut quality.

No, you won''t be able to tell the difference.

On my finger I really can''t tell that much of a difference in size. Did you decide on what setting you might get? If you get a halo I sincerely doubt you would notice it at all.

hi clgwli

I still havent decided on a setting, i like this one, but I can''t tell properly as the pics seem a bit unclear to me! I went to see the Tacori and although it was really nice, I think the halo was a bit too tiny for me, i think the round stones are 0.5! this one, the stones are 1.10 which would be better i think.......

Also just saw this one, really like it, whats the setting of the stones in the halo called? It looked different to the WF one? and more Harry Winston style...https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-10yr-cushion-upgrade-from-erd.124340/


The Tacori one is also too pricey for me, I am also considering just using most of my budget on the stone, and then buying the setting later on when i eventually make up my mind!!!?

Do this. Save yourself the worry and anxiety now, then you can take your time and enjoy being engaged.

Side by side, loose, maybe.




When set - esp. if set into a halo that somewhat obscures the edges, visually - definitely not

Lol! You''ve obviously sensed my inability to be able to decide on a setting!!!

Thanks everyone else, I think i''ll just have a look at some 0.90''s. For a 0.90 I could get the setting above and a great stone within budget (i think..) grr VAT...

 

[Bella_mezzo]

I think that would look awesome! Here''s one from WF that might help you stay in budget with the setting...

You won''t be able to tell, especially not with a halo setting. I''d go with the .9

I like that one a lot myself. I was curious if you would have liked the Tacori or not. I loved it in pictures but not as much in person. I think that WF ring paired with a pretty round will look wonderful! Or whatever setting you do decide on

Side by side loose yes but once it''s mounted especially in a halo no. I can''t wait to see what you get.
