[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course 2ct isn’t too big. A diamond is never too big and sparkly!

In reality though, it kind of depends on the cut. And ascher or emerald cut will show much smaller then a round. [/quote]

Actually round is the best cut for brilliance with all of the Cs perfected; both of those cuts have a wider surface area, which doesn’t allow foe the same brilliance but can change the impression. Oval does the same. You lose sparkle when you start changing from a classic round. Round, Square/Princess are the best for capturing all qualities of a good atone in that order. But a 3ct emerald or oval cut will look larger than a 3ct square or a 3ct round. Wont glimmer and you will see any atone flaws easily, but I’d you’re going for size you can get creative.

One other downside with having a large ring. People look at it, they look at you, and immediately the cost of whatever you want to do jumps 30% in an estimate. It was annoying, that is part of why I would turn my ring to my palm in some situations, or only wear the pave band (also didn’t like stones fall out easily).

I love the elegance and sophistication of a beautiful, single, gold band. Put my engagement ring money towards a nice set of earrings, or a tennis bracelet. A necklace with all of our birthstones.
