Newbie here...trying to decide between a 3 ct (8mm) Vintage Scroll Princess Asha Solitaire Ring (the "Enchant"- hopefully you can see it on my profile picture) and the 1.25 ct (6mm)

Have a size 8 ring size. I just don't know if the 3 ct would look too fake??

If you can't see it on my profile pic, here's the link:

Thoughts?? Help!!

Thanks!

wow, only the 6mm and 8mm are available in that ring? i'd go for the 3ct (i like lots of bling), but check with chat to make sure they can't put in any other sizes first...

also, a 3ct will only risk looking fake if you REALLY can't afford a 3ct diamond, which would be at least $15k (as far as i know)

I LOVE the setting you chose though! The Enchant is so pretty smile

I think a 3ct would look great on a size 8 finger! If not, see if they can make a 7 or 7.5mm.

You could also print out the Asha size chart, cut out the size/shape you want, and tape it to your finger: http://www.ashadiamonds.com/Asha-Size-Chart.pdf

I think it would look GREAT. Passing it off as a diamond will be tricky.

Personally, I would get it, but if asked point blank I wouldn't say it's a diamond.
