My boyfriend and I are starting to look for a ring and I think I’ve decided on a stone size of 1.5 carats. But I’m wondering if that is going to be too large for my finger. I wear a size 4.0 – 4.5. I want a large stone, but not something that is going to look ridiculous on my finger! What do you think? I would love to see pictures of your 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 carat rings if you have around a 4.0 size finger!! Thanks so much!

MelTay: I’m a size smaller and 1 carat didn’t look good on my finger at all. So I wear a .64 carat ring.

My ring size is between a 3.5- 4. Top pic is a 1.2 carat, middle is a 1.51 carat, and the bottom is a 1.65 carat. Hope this helps! I think a stone around 1.5 carat is a great size for your finger if you want some that stands out but is not too much.

I’d keep trying a bunch of options on to see how you feel. I’m a size 4, and think 1ct is waaay too big. But I tend to prefer smaller diamonds anyway. If it helps, maybe look into buying cheap cz rings in those carat sizes and wear them out and around the house to see how you feel?

I’m a 4-4.5 (ring is sized at 4.5) and have a 1.3ct. I would happily go up to as big as 2-2.5ct!

excuse the awful lighting! This is my 1 carat and the ring is 4.75 but my finger is 4.25. I think it’s the perfect size!

Mine is a little under 1 carat center stone on a 4.5 finger. Hope that helps!

My ring size is 4.75, so a little larger than yours. I tried on sizes from 1ct all the way to 3.5cts and I decided that the 2ct looked the best on my finger, but it is a personal preferance.
Enjoy ring shopping! It’s so fun trying on all the different styles and sizes- I loved every minute of it! 🙂
Here’s a picture of my 2ct ring on my 4.75 finger:

My center diamond is 2.01 carats and my ring size is 4. It’s a cushion though, so it “faces up” significantly smaller than a round brilliant.
