I am (impatiently) waiting for my 0.6ct round solitaire ring to arrive. I’ve been waiting almost 3 weeks already and have at least another week to go – it’s going sooo slowly!
Please cheer me up by posting your photos. I ordered a custom ring online so didn’t get to try it on and, although I’m sure it will be lovely, it’s so helpful to visualise it by seeing other people’s similar spec rings/similar size fingers 🙂
My ring size is 3.5 (UK size G). Thanks ladies!

0.60ct center but size 4.75/5 finger. I’m sure yours will be beautiful!! This is such a good size for smaller fingers ☺️

Your rings all look so much bigger than my 0.91 carat. I have a size 4.5 finger.

Carat size is a good reference but mm diameter of the stone(s) you are considering is more important. As the bee above said hers is a .91 and the others are in the .70s and they look the sameish size. A higher carat weight diamond with small dimensions is most likely cut too deep which yields a higher carat weight, thus increasing the the price for something that you can’t see.

KKJohnson : thanks for your reply. I never knew that about the stone proportions. I just looked at my GIA paperwork and the dimensions of my ring are 6.15 -6.17 x 3.87. Cut very good. VS2. I wonder if that is considered deep??

That’s definitely not too deep for a .6 carat! In fact, I believe that that’s a larger face-up proportion than most that size: https://www.gemsociety.org/article/standard-gem-sizes-chart/
I’m a size 4 and just upgraded my stone to a .63 (was a .47 and wanted slightly bigger with much better cut/clarity). I’m waiting another week for it (hand feels so bare without my wedding rings!)…but I’ll post when I get it 🙂

sscarpellini : Your stone isn’t particularly deep, but it definitely isn’t the “average” size for a .91ct. The average is closer to 6.3mm, but yours looks like it still sparkles beautifully!

sscarpellini : those are just the size measurements, you need to look at the proportions

KKJohnson : I’ve researched this a little and discovered that my depth percentage is 62.8% which I guess is on the high side for a 0.9 carat. This would explain why my ring looks smaller. I wish I had found this website before we picked out my ring. We figured since it came with a GIA certificate it must have been good.

Shamelessly bumping this thread because I’m in the exact same boat (size 4 waiting on a .63ct)!

Actually, my jeweler just called after my last post and I picked up my ring! Here’s a .63ct, I color, VS2, triple x on a size 4 finger! We just upgraded to .63ct (and better specs) from .47ct for my first anniversary. The setting is from my husband’s great-grandmother 🙂
