7/8 is basically a full carat. nobody will see that tiny of a difference. it sounds like you just aren't satisfied with what you have since you keep adding and upgrading multiple times and you want to upgrade AGAIN.
I just think unless you're upgrading significantly, it won't be noticeable.
I agree with the other posters. No one is going to notice that 1/8 of a carat. If it's saying "My ring is 1 carat" that's important to you, then just round up! My ring is .47 and I say it's a half carat cause it's just easier.
You're right, the difference is not that noticeable, i guess i just want a little more bling. maybe i will get that once i add the bands?
thanks for the honesty!
eh, quit adding now and just start saying the number you want to say :) Then save your money for more jewelry down the line, if that's your interest!
I think that the bands will add a lot of the zing you are looking for. I am going to add an enhancer wrap as my band and that will satisfy my need for extra spangle.
You're definitely being pretty picky. I agree with Melissa, instead of making all these minor changes... why don't you guys just save up for the next few years until you can afford a rock that will be more to your liking?? :)
Once you add the bands, your finger is going to sparkle!
i dont know why the pics are not uploading! maybe its the computer.
i will try uploading again later
Who are you trying to impress? Your friends? Your parents? Other women? I am also a small girl (0-2 petite) and my FI and are both about to graduate as medical doctors, so really, we could have spent a lot more on the rings, but i thought the 3/4 carat was the perfect size on my small hand and FI spent a good chunk of change making sure he got good color, cut, and clarity. If you were initally happy with the size, what changed? Did someone comment on it?
my ring is slightly over 1kt and my finger is a 4.5. it looks HUGE and i get comments on that. and i don't have any side stones! i'll be doing a .6kt eternity band for the wedding. we decided instead of going bigger, to get a better diamond.
to be honest, i think youre being too picky, but if you want a bigger stone--well, go for it! i just think bigger stones tend to look tacky on small hands (again this is MY opinion), especially if you have a wedding band with diamonds.
If you want more bling (let's face it, some girls are bling girls) you have a wedding band with diamonds! Or you could add a halo setting to it down the road
Who's paying for these upgrades? If its you then I say do whatever will make you happy - even if it's just for yourself. If its him make sure that tiny bit is worth his love and upgrades of what he originally picked/could afford for you. Just remember you have your whole life to pay for things, make money and upgrade. My grandma upgraded her e ring after 50 years and its amazing. They could never afford it before but now its really special.
i think im really just trying to get feel 100% happy. The reason i chose the 3/4 to begin with was because we could not afford anything bigger at the time, i didnt tell him that, but i didnt want him to pay too much on my ring. but we both have great jobs now and things are getting more stable so i thought i could upgrade a little and get a little closer to my goal of a 1 carat without spending a crazy amount of money all at once.
but im taking the advices of those who said i should wait and just make a significant change in a few years.
we both paid for the upgrades.
im starting to feel pretty confident that the bands will give it the bling im looking for.
and the last thing i want is for it to look tacky! =/
this is the wedding band we got, and the enhancer would go on the other side of the e-ring.
bigger doesnt mean better. All that matters is that you two love eachother. My ring is a solitaire 1.25 ct. flawless diamond. i am a size 8 and in my opionon the diamond is even too big for my finger. Just go with your gut feeling. Oh ya and realize that the bigger it is the more it can # 1 get in the way/ snag on things like your hair and clothing/ scratch your family members (oops LOL). #2 You are more likely to check and make sure it is still there every five minutes because you know how much it costs. lol congrats on your engagement and have lots of fun with the planning process :-)

I got engaged on Nov of 2009 with a 3/4 carat solitaire ring. 1 month later we added 3 diamonds on each side. 2 months later we made the main diamond a 7/8 carat but i still think its too small althoug im a size 4, i guess i didnt research enough before making my decision. my FI doesnt mind it at all, he tells me he just wants me to love my ring, and i am actually the one who chose the 3/4 carat ring to begin with. I now want to upgrade to a 1 carat before my wedding in July. i just feel like my ring looks too plain, but maybe after i have my wedding band next to it ill feel better? i will be adding an enhancer on the other side which is a half eternity. any advices? am i being a bratt? =/
we chose to get a simple band
this is the enhancer/band im adding on the other side
what do you guys think? any pictures with ideas are welcome...
