6.2mm diamond to 7mm...will I see a difference?

[Laila619]

Hi all,

I have the chance to get an OEC that is about 7mm in diameter (no pics yet, sorry!). I currently have a diamond that measures 6.23 x 6.25mm. Do you think this size increase will be a noticeable difference or not really? Thanks much!

Yes, you will absolutely see a difference. I have diamonds that are 6mm, 6.5mm, and I have a 7mm cz earring (because I got a set of cz earrings to decide on sizes!). Let me see if I can get a picture for you.

This is a little easier. Here is a picture of a 1 ct. at 6.5mm and the next stone is 1.3 cts, 7mm. Your 6.2mm stone is smaller than the first stone, so you can get an idea.

Yes!

Thanks, DS and Pregcurious!

DS, thanks for that picture. Honestly, it really doesn't look like a huge difference to me! What is wrong with me?!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

It will be in person, at least I think so!

It it totally and completelt a huge difference. My first RB was 6.2mm and my upgrade was 6.8mm, about the same difference, and the difference in size was huge and completely noticable in person. Like you, I looked at pictures like the one DS posted and thought "meh", but once it was on my hand, totally obvious.

I think 7mm is the point where on my hand a diamond looks "big", and I did not feel that way about the 6,2mm.

on your finger it will definitely be noticeable. what i did during the shopping process was actually draw different sized stones on my fingers at home

go for gold - go bigger!

Yep!!! My old stone I believe was a 6mmish and this one is literally just under 7mm. It was VERY noticeable. Then again shrinkage set in quickly anyway. lol

Just adding my yes opinion to this thread Laila. I agree it is a big difference and all other things being equal I would go for the bigger one. Good luck!
