Hi everyone,
I’m new to the forum and this place is amazing. I wish I had found it before my ring was purchased so I could have gotten opinions beforehand. My boyfriend and I are about to get engaged and we did all of the ring selection process together- he wanted me to get what I wanted.
I’m a bit of bling fiend and I love shiny things. I wear pretty minimal jewelry on daily basis and currently no rings. I always envisioned a 2 carat ring and when we started looking we realized our budget could accommodate more. The problem is, I got excited and think I may have went overboard. We are in LA and shopped the diamond district so unfortunately I didn’t get to try on a lot of larger stones already in settings. I felt weird going into Tiffany to try on when I knew we had no intention of buying from then.
I ended up selecting a 3.5 carat oval measuring 12x8.6mm, vs1, h set in rose gold pave band and halo. The ring is arriving in 3 days in store and there is ability to return it. My ring size is a 5. I am afraid this is going to take up my entire finger from knuckle to knuckle bc my fingers are also somewhat short in that portion. I discussed with my boyfriend and he is ok having me try it on to see if it is too big even though he is not proposing right now. We have ability to exchange or fully return diamond and/or setting so I guess that is reassuring. As long as diamond looks as good as it did in video, I will likely just have it reset into a micropave 4 prong solitaire but I have also debated going down to 2.5 carats as well. I will post pics once I try it on in a few days to get better opinion.
I’m just worried it’s too much. I think I will actually love it, but with my career it’s going to garner many comments that I don’t necessarily want to deal with. Any thoughts from ladies with large ovals and halos?
