Ooh-ooh-ooh. Someone else just posted a 7mm cushion on a size 6.5 hand. Like two minutes ago. Kismet.

Yeah, that's kind of what DH said. Why upgrade if you're not going to go bigger?

I have no deadline, just impatience. I did take a little break and am feeling better. If I see them all in person, I'm sure it will be much easier to make the decision, and if that's what it takes, well then it's only $70. :-P

Thank you so much. Very helpful. I have been googling 1 carat cushions, or a little larger, to get an idea.

I totally get what you're saying about being "attached." I am still feeling that way with my original. It is stronger now that I am making the change. I have even thought about turning back (Ahhh). I asked DH when the final product comes, to propose to me again! LOL. That way every time I look at it, it's still special and not just a pretty ring. You know? He thinks I'm insane but he agreed. I have plans for a right hand ring with my current stone though.

You gals are the best!

See, I think it looks better on her than on me LOL. I think it does make a difference that I am just using a make-shift ring (I removed a fake CZ from it, was about 2 carat equivalent). So the setting IS a bit off. I think I will go with the 1.4! For now anyways

You know what's funny? I always thought I would be a bigger is better person. I like simplicity, big stone, simple setting. But now, I'm realizing I may not like BIGGER necessarily. Big, yes, bigger maybe not. haha.

I will have more to say later on. Tomorrow I am sending back the 1.8 and will go from there. Thank you for all the input!

My dh proposed again, lol. Nothing takes the place of the original for me, but I wouldn't give back my additional sets either.

do you still wear the original on your left ring finger occasionally?

Yup, I still wear it quite a lot actually. My other set have large stone, 9mm, so sometimes 6mm is just more convenient. I think I will always wear it in my rotation. I would feel sad not to. I sometimes do think about upgrading the center stone still...not to anything huge, just maybe something 7mm, 7.5mm max. But it makes me feel sad, so I haven't done it. If I ever get over that feeling sad though, I would just reset my stone in a pendant. I could never sell it. I never expected I would be this sentimental about it. The plan was always to upgrade, but when it came time to do it, I couldn't mess with it, so just got new ring instead.
