Ok...I have had more time to flip flop so here goes!

I originally wanted a 3 ct Flanders or Princess because I wanted it to look as large as a 2 ct round. As time has gone on, I decided on a 2.10 Radiant or a 2 Ct Flanders. My girlfriend just got engaged and her 1 ct round looks nice enough...but I certainly want something a bit larger. Diamond A and anyone else out there that likes larger stones...do you think that a 2 ct Flanders or a 2.10 Radiant is a nice size? Big enough for a "WOW" effect???

Thanks!

Champell

Visually, there is a big difference between the 7mm Flanders and the 2.10 carat radiant. The radiant is a longer cut, and will measure 8.5 mm long, so it will be visually larger than the Flanders. You wouldn't see that much of a difference size wise between your friend's one carat round and the 7mm Flander's, so if you are looking for more visual impact go up to the 8mm.

Anytime! Personally, under 7.5 mm in a round looks small to me, and even an 8 mm looks average. I like the look of larger stones. Nice to finally come across someone else who likes the larger ones too.
