Newbie's Marquise Platinum Ring. How did I do?

[petit singe]

Hello,

Just received my marquise solitaire platinum ring. Usually I'm not a big fan of marquise, but there is something different about this setting that seems to compliment the stone that I simply can't resist. I am planning to wear it as a right hand ring.

GIA certified
0.90 ct. Marquise Brilliant
I color
SI2
Measurements: 9.10 x 5.17 x 3.32 mm
Polish & Symmetry Grade = Very Good
Flouro: faint

Gross weight: 5.95 gm
Ring size: 5.5
I paid for $1600. Guys, did I do OK?
By the way, does a marquise cut tend to make a stone look bigger than it is? or I'm talking nonsense?

I love it! I'm not usually a fan of MQ cut diamonds either, but I do love this setting! It's the perfect way to upstyle that diamond.

Hugs,
MDS

Sounds like you got a good deal! I like it very much as it is, but someone here recently posted a great setting that set the stone east-west and that looked great, too!

Very pretty! Your diamond looks beautiful and looks amazing in your setting.

I too love the idea of ovals, Marquis and emerald cut turned east west! So unexpected!

Your ring is awesome. I love how the setting makes it look diamond/kite-shaped. Really cool look! And it looks big too

I like how you call it kite-shaped. Thank you.

One really naive question, as you could see I am still a newbie here.

How can you edit your original post once submitted? Is there a function button somewhere I am missing?

Thanks!
