| The other thread got me thinking. Would you rate have a high quality ( ideal cut, high grade color and clarity, and no fluorescence) that is 1.5 carats, or a still good quality but not as great 2 carat? Would you sacrifice better quality over size? |
| I'd rather have a man who didn't buy into this crap. |
| And please no “ I want less expensive or smaller”. I don’t need a ring stuff. |
OP here. Then don’t post. This thread is not for you. I don’t want to hear from women like you. I want to hear from women who care about rings. |
| Quality over size, definitely. Also 1.5 isn't exactly small. |
| I’d rather have a 1.5 ct better quality stone. I think 2 ct is just too big unless you are going for “wealthy old lady” look |
| How big are your fingers? If you have doughy hands, you'll probably want a bigger stone. |
| Really wouldn't care. I'd have loved whatever DH gave me. |
| OP here. I plan to propose this year and have started looking at rings. I’ve found a really good quality 1.5 carat ring and then a still good quality, but not as high 2 carat. I’m wondering if the size is worth it or if a smaller one is worth it. We will likely pass down the ring to future kids. |
| My ring is very high quality, just under 1.5 carats and I’m a medium sized woman (5’7, 135lbs), and it fits me perfectly. I wouldn’t have wanted something bigger, especially in my mid-20s when we got engaged and married. I’m late 30s now and still think my ring is perfect. |
| How big are her fingers? |
| Depends. I don’t need ideal cut or D or E color, but I wouldn’t want H or I color either. Too yellow. I also don’t need flawless, but no SI either. There is a happy medium. |
OP here. I don’t know. Small hands. Petite frame at 5’1 110lbs. |
Can you give us stats on the 2ct? CCC |
| I would take the smaller one as .5 isn't that huge of a difference to me. That being said, I'm 5'10 with hands to match, I have some serious jewelry, and I'm a size queen. |
