Largest ct size for daily wear?

[Rhd3]

Honestly, a 1.25 ct solitaire. I like the proportion on my finger.

I am wearing this 4 carat oval daily ( to me it looks like 2.5-3 carat ), and nobody ever notices it, so it must be a great everday size!

I have never successfully worn anything larger than 0.50 carat on a daily basis no matter how much I like the jewelry. I love looking at all the large stones but I had a 2 carat MRB and actually ended up trading it in for something smaller because I wasn’t wearing it. Later in life when I could afford more jewelry without trading in, I got a 2 carat asscher. I love it but only wear it 1-2x per month. That’s why I am so happy that we have lab grown diamonds these days. I know better than to spend $$$$$ on large stones for myself so it is nice to have the option of spending less to wear large stones on occasion. Although with prices dropping on natural diamonds I might pick a big one up eventually.

3ct was the largest ring I have had so far and I loved that size but believe I could rock a 4 ct.
I now have 1.20 ct in each ear and love that size.

Every time I answer this question I feel like I say something different lol but the general sentiment persists

I think for earrings I have pretty big ears and wear 4ctw right now, but I could size up for sure. I think I could go to 8ctw with no problem

Pendant I currently wear 1.5ish in a small halo, I like the amount of coverage I have so I can imagine myself maybe wearing up to 3ct in the neck as a solitaire. But not more than that.

for a ring, I like substantial coverage without being overpowered so I feel like I could go essentially as large as I can afford. I feel like 70-80% (as a function of ring size) is wearable for me, which has me at a minimum of around 11-11.5mm, and a max of 13-13.5mm. Depending on the cut that’s approx 6-9ct for a round, oval or pear; or 9-12ct for an emerald cut.

In my experience, it depends more on your environment than on yourself.
I lived in Monaco for a few years and nobody noticed my seven and something diamond.
I currently live in Munich where many people ask me where I got this wonderful costume jewelry ring with the Swarovski glass crystal!

Well I for one will never, ever tire of seeing shots of your gorgeous rings! I think they're timeless and oh so elegant!

4 cts and it's not noticed? I'd need a sling for my wrist, lol

Wow! If this isn't an inspirational statement I don't know what is!!!

Thank you for reinvigorating my aspirations!

Thank you so much, I always have the feeling that I bore everyone here by showing the same pieces over and over again.
