If you take some time to search, you'll find tons more comparable threads to get an idea of stone size.


Oh my goodness so many rings and they were so big lol thank you thank you thank you smile that did help with seeing all the sizes

No it's just that by your pics I was thinking 3cts! So it's actually possible to get something that is a bit more blingy than a plain solitaire.

Don't worry! I would go with 1ct+ for your finger size, but that is totally IMO.

OH Man the first link was absolutely gorgeous
and I hope witht he whole size. ... But I was thinking maybe just going with a replica khloe kardashian ring but of course it would be extremely fake most likely turn my finger and not last over time frown haha

Yup, that size minimum makes things much easier! I really love the "Chebella" ring, it has a gorgeous antique feel to it, and you could put in a 7.5-8mm round stone, or a 7.5mm cushion cut in it! And it can be made in yellow gold!

Setting: $350, leaves $650 for the stone and bench work.
You could get a 1.5ct (7.5mm) fancy intense pink moissanite to go in it for $580, or a regular 1.5ct moissanite for the diamond look for around $460. laugh

I would go coloured moissy for sure, but not the rose pink. I would recommend the peachy pink. It is softer and paler.
