Wow, that IS a big size jump! Thanks for sharing that visual Bastetcat.bastetcat|1359225258|3364144 said:Bottom line: It's going to look a lot bigger.
Geometrically: the change in area is going from 44 to 132, so that's triple the area, like Julie said.
Visually here's what it looks like. The stone on the right in the stone holder is the whatever stone they give you in the idealscope kit and measures about 6.3mm. The OEC stone in the buttercup earring measures about 3.75 in a 4mm buttercup setting that measures about 5mm at the bottom of the buttercup. Sorry for the dreary pic; it's really overcast today and drizzley.

I was just putting 6.5 mm on my finger, saw it was about the size of my current hexagon, which is what made me wonder if I would see enough difference between a stone in a solitaire vs my hexagon being the same size already
The 6.5 wouldn't be a diamond, it would be a ruby solitaire in an antique setting that I can wear somedays with my bands instead of my current ring until I find out what my perfect size stone is/save up for it.
