Size 4 .85ct - Will it be too big???

[groundhogdog]

OK, I have the .85ct AGSideal0 stone being set in the solitaire setting now... and she knows it is coming (we are both very excited).

But now that I have been reading posts, Im just a tiny bit worried that the stone will look too big on her little size 4 finger, for her taste. She doesnt want to seem gaudy or flashy...

I mean, we dont mind if it is "nicely" large...

But do you think it is possible for a .85 to look "too" large for some tastes on a sizze 4 finger?

Are there any of you with size 4''s that have a similar size that can speak up (or show a pic?)

Thanks!!!!

Haha! I thought you meant 4.85 cts!!!

No, that size will just look VERY nice on her enviably small finger.

Not at all. In fact, I am planning to get a slightly over 1ct stone for my size 4.5 finger (as soon as that blasted stone comes in

).

Ha, I totally thought the same thing!
I have a size 4.5 finger and trust me, the .85 will be just fine! Is there a thing as too big? J/K!

Congrats! Make sure to post pics once you pop the question!

That''s exactly what I thought too!! The stone you have chosen, the .85c will be lovely.

Me too! LOL!

You will, of course, post pics?

The 0.85 ct will be perfect.

For posterity''s sake, the 4.85 ct would have also been perfect.

First all, this is probably the wrong place to be asking this question!

But honestly, I don''t think it will look too large or gawdy at all. Here is a photo of my 1 carat round diamond in it''s old setting (I just recently had it reset). This ring is a size 4. I''m sure your girlfriend''s hands don''t look exactly like mine, but this might give you an idea of scale.

I wasn''t the first to see 4.85 and think, "how could it be too big?" Nearly anyone would say, "Thank You" and put it away safely. It might be a little large for a finger, but few people would say it was too big.

Then again, the 0.85ct one sounds like a great size for a slim finger.... You can always upgrade for an anniversary. Plan ahead. If you start too large, you won''t have an easy option.

 

[ringabling]

no, not too big.
I wear a size 4, it''ll look great on her!

 

[snlee]

I think a .85 would look great on a size 4 finger. Definitely not too big. I used to have a .81 before I upgraded. I''m a size 3.5. Here''s a picture.

 

[mommybuss]

Definitely not too big, there''s no such thing! ;P I have a size 3.5 finger and currently wear a 3ct diamond, and am looking to upgrade it to a 4-4.5ct stone. I originally thought it would be "too big", but so many comment on my ring and how great it looks on my finger.

 

[risingsun]

Definitely not too big!

 

[Kaleigh]

It''s going to look great on her, please post pics when you can!!

 

[groundhogdog]

WOW!!!! I came back to some wonderful replies! Thanks for the encouragement, it helps!

I do agree, a 4.85ct is pushing it...

What a great forum... I had no idea.

Here are some pics of the stone and the setting... The setting is the vatche x prong.

once its on her finger (WHOO!) I might have to post it up here so you all can see

Thanks for that perfect picture!!

Can''t go wrong there. Lovely stone from GOG and a classy x-prong from Vatche. She''ll love it.

 

[Ellen]

Oh, that stone is a knock out. And paired with that setting? Perfection.

Please come back and post pics!

I didn''t think a 4.85 would be too big! On ANY SIZE finger! Seriously! (But then I''m sick!

) haha!

Your .85 looks like a BEAUTY

and I think it will look GORGEOUS on her. Congratulations, you done GOOOOOOD!

 

[louisvgirl]

I think the ring will look beautiful on her. I am a 3.75 finger and I think it will be just right.

I think anything over 5.25 can look gawdy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but anything under naw.....

I''m sick. too....... but I blame it on PS! I guess it''s contagious!!!

She will love it!

 

[snlee]

Beautiful diamond and setting! Please come back with pictures! We would love to see!

ROFL... I thought the same thing!!!

Yep, add me to the list of those who had to read this thread to see who was getting a 4.85 ct. diamond!!! (And yes, that would be waaaaaay too big for me!)

But .85 is lovely and certainly not too ostentatious in any way. Can''t wait to see your finished ring!

Me too! I''m thinking "well, yes, 4.85 is a big honker, really".

But, .85 on a size 4 is NOT too big. It will be nice and not at all gaudy.

I have so appreciated all of your comments!

I am so stinkin giddy... my girlfriend and I have come through so much to be where we are in three years, and we both have so much peace and excitement about this decision. We know it is right... it is a rare joy. This ring symbolizes that journey to me. I just cant wait to give it to her. I never thought I would get to feel this way. Woot.

I wonder if I would have received this many comments if I hadnt accidentally titled my post " Size 4 .85ct..." http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/images/smilies/41.gif
