Haha! I understand that you limit yourself to 10ct. 12 would also be too big for all days, you bump everywhere with it, not to mention insurance costs!
That 63 carats was too small...
Here in the UK, it’s not that usual for people to have big diamonds, as previously quoted, the average (we’re told) for an ER is .25ct, so if you have .50 ct that’s considered big.
I also agree that it depends on the size of your fingers and hands whether something looks big or not. My friend has a .50ct that look huge on her tiny fingers, on me it didn’t. I‘ve tried on 2cts, which in my mind was big, but on my hand, I didn’t think it looked big at all.
I don’t think Bella looks too big on my 6.75 size finger and I normally wear her everyday (not since lockdown with the constant handwashing). I don’t know if it’s just that I’m used to her, but I don’t think she looks that big on my finger
I tried on a 10.38ct emerald cut at Sotheby’s, and that definitely was too big
