I'd love to have a 2.5 ct diamond, but I am afraid that would really be too much for where I live. My current diamond is definitely the largest of my local friends and extended family. I felt very uncomfortable both times at first. I slowly upgraded from my 1 ct diamond to 1.6 and then 2.3. I also live in an area where few people wear diamonds larger than 1 ct. It sounds like you'd be happier with a larger solitaire anyway. And I would like the ring or the diamond to be an heirloom piece for one of my kids.Īfter reading hmr_mama's confirmation about chipped stones on a large eternity, I'd just say no to that idea, because clearly those are special occasion rings. Hence going with a plain solitaire would give me the look of bling, but be very low maintenance in that sense. I have a pavé band from VC, and I've almost stopped wearing it because I don't want to ruin the ring. So there is a large risk that I'll be annoyed with the ring and the possibility of the diamonds being scratched or chipped on the palm side. I don’t want it to catch to much Thank you for being the voice of reason, I just can't get away from loving the look of full eternity in that size, and at the same time I'm all about a ring being comfortable. I don’t want the ring to be overly blingy, I love the look of a three stone and would def go with one if I lived somewhere where blingy rings were the norm, but I think a solitaire might be a bit more discreet, as most people here probably haven’t seen a 2.5+ct irl. I don’t want it to catch to much attention. I can’t recall having seen anything in that size range out and about except for those three.Įither way, I’m pretty sure a 2.5-3ct won’t get that much attention around here, people would just assume it’s either fake, or not notice it, and only a few acquaintances would probably notice the new ring, which they would with any new jewelry as we do talk about jewelry in general. But newer engagement rings (the last 5yrs) can easily be around 1-1.2ct, I know three people in my social circle who have 1.7-2.2ct, but it’s def not the norm. I’m in Sweden (Europe).diamonds here are a new “fad”, so everyone who’s gotten engaged let’s say 5-10 yrs back don’t wear anything over 0,75ct. Whilst in theory I’d like to wear the eternity the same way, I KNOW for a fact that I probably wouldn’t. I’m quite sure I’d wear the solitaire all hours of the day, cook, clean, at home, in my pjs etc. I know you've owned ACAs, when compared to generic ideal cuts, do you see the difference between the cuts? I won't be able to see the stones irl before buying, so I can't compare myself. I've just alway had this dream of owning a 3ct, and I'm realizing that I can't have that if I don't compromise on color and clarity, but can't figure out if the compromise will be worth it. But the diamond was hand picked by Mark T. So I'm not sure if its the color or the cut. But, I'm using it as a reference for color, and I've always thought the stone as "dark" but I can't see any yellow in it. I have a generic 1.1ct I GIA Exc cut, and I've stopped wearing that aswell, as I don't love the size on my hand. I think we'll be buying in the second half of next year, so I'm in no rush. I did have a look to see what's available in the range you mentioned, and there isn't much, so I couldn't really figure out the price point. And I would like the ring or the diamond to be an heirloom piece for one of my kids.
