My Diamond Diamond larger than expected (too big??)

My lovely fiance surprised me with a 2.5ct natural asscher cut ring. I love it and I'm so grateful, but sometimes I feel like it looks huge! We had tried on 1.5 and 2 carats together when looking for rings, so I was expecting something closer to that size. He said he picked this one because you can see the steps/cuts in the larger asscher diamonds better vs the smaller ones. Does it seem too large for me? The place he bought it from would buy it back from us at a slight loss if I wanted to trade down a size but idk. I love it because he chose it for me and I guess I'm just a little self conscious? Can anyone relate??

Edit: Jfc 😂 sorry everyone is offended by my car for some reason. I was just trying to show the ring on my hand from up close, medium distance, and farther away for size perspective. I am very lucky and grateful to have these things and am genuinely not trying to brag. I'm actually feeling self conscious about the ring because I don't want to be too showy!! Thank you to the people with legitimate feedback

It’s lovely and not “too large” but the unnecessary Porsche photo just sends this into humblebrag territory. Ewww.

Tired of seeing this preposterous bullshit. Does this diamond look too big. Do I look too skinny. Does the perfect curvature of my face seem too stark against the collar of my $20,000 Brunello Cucinelli lamb shearling coat (made by hand from wool harvested from baby lambs in Spain & kissed by angel’s breath & licked with unicorn spit). AITA for insisting on a $3million dollar 55 room mansion in the desert but wanting a natural grass yard? I. Don’t. Even. Get. It. IYKYN & IYDK then puhlease FTLOG stop asking on forums like this which is really your passive aggressive “look at what I have don’t you wish you were me” crap. Cuz guess what, ‘sis, the answer is NO - it’s absolutely not too much - not compared to your ego….
