Hi everyone,

I''ve got a bit of upgrade on my mind but before I make a firm decision I would like to know if there would be a significant size difference to my eye in going from a 2ct stone which measures 8.21x8.24 to a 2.40 stone that measures 8.57x8.61
Your thoughts are much appreciated...
Thanks!
 
Hi btrfly,

Side by side, yes, you could easily see the difference. In a setting, maybe not quite so much, but it is still a nice jump. My .02, if you''re wavering, do it now before you get used to the 2 ct. Because to do this jump after you''re used to the smaller, it will definitely not be as dramatic.

I would certainly notice the difference myself.

That''s a nice jump in carat weight, as Ellen said.

Do let us know if you decide to go for it! 2.40cts.. yummy!

i would choose the larger unless there is a clarity or color difference and the smaller one is clearer or whiter or whatever. if it is the same go bigger!!
 
I have a 2.36 and when I was shopping for my upgrade, I felt like the difference between it and a 2 carat stone I was also looking at was rather significant, and to my eyes, quite noticeable.

I think this is good advice. The difference is noticeable, but not enough that it would make sense to upgrade later (although to some it is).
