Oh, inb4 someone calls me fat- I'm a size 0 or 2. I have long slender fingers (ring size 5). This comes up on every thread about carat size. 2 ct is not gaudy! |

Must be the industries we're in. Nobody has over a 2 carat in our workplaces. Nobody. |

I have long, thin fingers with small knuckles/small bone structure overall (ring size is 3.75) and a 2.5 or 3 ct diamond would look very big. It really does depend on how it looks on your finger. 2 ct may look totally normal on one person, and noticeably big on someone else. |

Let your girlfriend pick out her own ring, please. Propose with a cheap CZ and tell her that you would like to choose a ring with her input so that you know it's something she loves. I am SO GLAD my husband did it this way. I got the ring of my dreams.

It depends on: 1. The width of her fingers. Larger fingers will require larger stones, it's just a question of proportion. 2. Whether she likes large rings. Does she wear rings? 3. Does she like to wear tight gloves in the winter? The large ring might not fit. Other considerations: 1. Please move away from natural diamonds unless they are conflict-free. I regret my blood diamond. 2. If there is a color or gem she particularly likes, get her that gem instead! Why get a diamond at all, even if it's a lab diamond? Does she like being original? Would she prefer something unusual? I'd have loved a sapphire ring, because blue is my favorite color. 3. Please get a very good quality band, ie, one that is comfortably rounded on the inside without sharper edges. |

| 11:05 again. A very clear but smaller standard round-cut diamond will have a better visual effect than a lower-quality diamond with a different cut. You will pay more for higher clarity. |

Depends on the cut. 2 ct looks small for an asscher and big for a round.
I have a 2 ct emerald which is the right size for my client-facing business. Much bigger and I worry clients would wonder if they’re paying me too much. |

Yes, you do silently compare if you notice your ring is smaller than your circle of friends. You must be young and materialistic because as you age, diamond size doesn't matter anymore. I have a 1.5 ring and could have upgraded a long time ago but I love the ring my husband proposed with 25 years ago. |

| Buddy, you know your love best. Dont stress about this too much. My husband bought a beautiful ring. I would have said yes if it was made out of a twist tie. Now we are older and both work with our hands a lot, and our wedding rings are on a carabiner that hangs on a hook. Congrats on deciding to marry her. |

This. Ignore the friend. |

Word. I can’t imagine upgrading a ring and losing all the great memories and emotional attachment to the original ring. Doesn’t make any sense. That PP also said the awkward feelings must be imagined. Umm feelings are always imagined, they come from our own brains. So yes, feeling awkward is subject to each persons internal thinking |
