Hello!! I just registered on here after lurking on the site forever. I’m actually already engaged, but since we have a little more money now, FH is upgrading my e-ring to something bigger than the .35 ct solitaire I have :). I’m thinking of a 1 ct solitaire or a halo setting that would come out to 6.6mm to 7mm around (so looking like 1 ct on finger).
I’m not a fan of huge stones on my hand or tons of bling as my fingers could prob be a 3.75 if not for my big knuckles and I’m worried even 1 ct would be too much.
Soooo, can I see your 1 ct beauties on little fingers? Like 3.5 to 4.5? Thank you!!!

@mishana: 1 ct would look totally fine. Diamonds appear to get smaller the longer you have them, anyway.

Not too large by any means. Im same size as you could be 3.75 but stick to the 4 cuz of getting it over my knuckles. I have just under 1 ct.

@mishana: LOL thank you. I should be a size 4.5 or a 4 even. But I have huge knuckles and I hate pushing rings over them. So I stuck with size 5. 🙂
Oh and I have no idea why that picture makes my ring look all bent up! It is a perfect circle. LOL

@Ashshealey: hmm. good food for thought. the ring I can’t stop thinking about is just under 1 ct, too. yours is pretty. the yellow gold makes the stone stand out so much 🙂

My ring isn’t officially mine yet, but I took some pictures during the sizing process and hopefully they’ll be of some help! My ring size is about a 4/4.25, but my ring is currently sized at a 4.5 (it was originally a size 5) and I’m wearing it with a plastic ring huggie in this picture. Here’s my 1.25ct ring:
Please forgive my unmanicured nails! Here’s a close up, taken when I first received the ring and it was size 5. Pardon my weathered hands. It was extremely cold that day!

Thanks for sharing your lovely rings, ladies! I so can’t decide if I want a halo or solitaire. Really liking accent stones and starting to lean toward halos. These are my two favorites so far. The halo mimics a solitaire and the solitaire has small side stones, so cheating a little either way. I might do a poll for suggestions… Also looking into moissies. I love how they look and the whole idea behind them, but my guy isn’t sold so I don’t know… Hope the pictures load the right way.

Here’s mine. It’s a 1.05 ct center stone and 2 ct total. In this photo the band was 4.5 but I had it resized to 4.25.
