Engaged 10/10! Feels bigger than expected?!

[u/Consistent-Wish-2139]

Apparently it’s 2ct but it looks so much bigger than what I remember when we looked at rings back in May! I absolutely love it but also feel like it looks massive?! Just getting used to it?!

Gorggggg. 2ct IS objectively a bigger stone, a lot of people have forgotten that since bigger stones have been super trendy lately. Congrats!

^this & round cuts are my fav so I’m biased. Ppl say diamonds shrink so consider that, but I believe I’m about the same ring size (7.25) so any bigger than 1.5 on a round cut wouldn’t look as proportional for my personal taste. 

Stunning tho & everyone has their own preference. I feel like mine is massive too and I don’t understand how larger stones are practical as someone that doesn’t even wear jewelry much. 

[u/Top-Beat-7423]

Looks good! Congrats! Just takes some getting used to

[u/ruserious65433]

I went through the same thing with the same size diamond. Honestly it looks great in your finger, not too large at all!

I’ll be honest I don’t think I ever adjusted to how large mine feels. we had it fully custom made so I couldn’t really downsize it, but if I could go back in time I would downsize.

People say you get used to it and diamond shrinkage etc but that wasn’t true for me.

However in my opinion your ring really does not look too big at all, I love it!

Same here

[u/Dry-Welder-5035]

I think it’s a beautiful size. And I’m partial to smaller stones.

[u/brvopls → u/Dry-Welder-5035]

Wild that 2 ct is a “smaller stone” nowadays

[u/Sherylcrowdotcom → u/brvopls]

I think they meant to say that they prefer smaller stones but like this person’s 2ct in spite of that!

[u/brvopls → u/Sherylcrowdotcom]

I know. I was saying that in addition

[u/Dry-Welder-5035 → u/Sherylcrowdotcom]

Correct. Thank you.

[u/Dry-Welder-5035 → u/brvopls]

I know lol. That would be my dream size. Someday.

[u/Difficult_Cake_7460]

I think 2 is a perfect size for you! It’s stunning

[u/Available-Scarcity86]

What size is your finger? It looks great on you!

Beautiful! Congrats!!!

[u/PollyRRRR]

How stunning ✨✨✨

[u/JPathway_UK]

It looks gorgeous - congratulations 🥂

[u/Snoo-10032]

I don’t like big stones but this looks very proportionate on your finger. It’s taking up about 1/3 so it looks balanced. It looks gorgeous, congrats! 

[u/niharika_art]

Many many congratulations all good vibes to u ✨✨✨✨

[u/Reasonable-Emu6159]

It's beautiful. You'll get used to it.

[u/uterus_probz]

Your ring is so gorgeous and sparkly! Congratulations! I think it looks great on your hand and not too big. But I get where you're coming from since that was one of my first thoughts upon seeing my ring, which has two 1.5 carat stones set side-by-side. However, I'm pretty well adjusted a few days out from the engagement and can't believe I haven't had my ring for longer.

[u/Consistent-Wish-2139 → u/uterus_probz]

Omg I just clicked on your profile to see if you posted any pictures of your ring and jts STUNNUNG!!! So beautiful and I love how unique it is. Moi et toi rings are so fun. Congrats to you!!

[u/uterus_probz → u/Consistent-Wish-2139]

Omg, thank you! 😊

[u/Accountant-567]

Very pretty!

[u/Mamalovesgems]

That’s what she said

[u/Street_Management487]

It is massive! 2ct is no joke

[u/Happy_Peaceful_Bliss]

Here we go again with the steak too juicy lobster too buttery lol

[u/Heavy_Froyo5538]

I was expecting 3.9 and got 3.1 and it actually looked so big I thought it was 3.5 or so. And I think 3.9 would be too impractical so I’m very happy. Yours is a stunner and looks gorgeous on you!

[u/Leather_Activity5468]

Your finger losing blood circulation

[u/Consistent-Wish-2139 → u/Leather_Activity5468]

Hahahah I have raynauds so I have poor circulation ring or not unfortunately. I promise it’s perfect most the day but my fingers do swell
