last one for tonight, I feel a little obsessed with this ring.

I would be too!!!

 

[gemgirl]

Sweetie, your ring is gorgeous, it definitely looks like three carats and no, your fingers are not chubby. I think that covers everything! LOL! Seriously, it''s absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy wearing it and the heck with the weird fishing comments from other people. It''s a knock out!

CONGRATS!!!

I am so sorry that you''re getting paranoid about the size of your stone. The truth is most people have not seen diamonds bigger than 2 carats so they assume that your ROCK must be a 2 carat. Do not worry. Your stone absolutely looks 3 carats on your finger! WOWZA! Hahahha! Wear it EVERYDAY!

Have you thought about wedding bands yet?

I was thinking about really light pink diamonds or sapphires paved or channel set in a thin band...but I don''t know if that would look okay. I have to see if anyone here has that combo. I love pricescope, I can seriously look at diamonds for hours and hours...unfortunately, I should be working instead!

"I actually have a question about how the diamond sits in the basket. the diamond is held by the prongs and doesn''t sit in the basket, just wondering if that is normal or if I should have it lowered? TIA!
---

Yep, the diamond should be held by the prongs, and you don''t want the culet (the bottom tip of the diamond) to actually touch the basket."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Is that always true? I have the WF sleek setting and I dont see a space between my culet and the buttom of the basket. I did ask for it to be set lower than higher though..maybe that why. I didn''t want it very high as I get things caught onmelf and clothes all the time. I can post pics later when I actually put up my hand shots. Having a hard time getting good shots with my camera.

DEFINITELY that does not look small - it looks huge and GORGEOUS

 

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

WOW. Gorgeous. Looks 3 cts., definitely. Such an awesome size.

 

[motownmama]

Beautiful and very true to size - your fingers are perfect!

 

[bling!]

It looks absolutely huge!! As someone else commented, most people probably don''t even know what a 2ct diamond looks like, let alone 3ct. No worries - it''s gorgeous and enormous!

 

[poshpepper]

Beautiful, congrats on your engagement!

 

[joflier]

It is a monstrous beauty!

 

[tlh]

OMG, that is GORGEOUS! Trust me, no one is looking at your fingers... just the boulder!

Plus, I wear a size 4... and I still manage to have chubby fingers, with yucky wrinkled knuckles! Your hands are gorgeous!

 

[EricaR]

Don''t ever apologize for posting "too many" photos because there isn''t such a thing!

I love love love your ring. It look enormous on you!

 

[mrsv]

Please post more pictures and I think a uber thin band would look awesome!

 

[Skippy123]

Gorgeous and big!!!! Love it!

 

[mommy2iz]

it''s gorgeous! and huge!!!!! love it!

 

[honey22]

I can easily see how you would be obsessed with that beauty. It''s a stunner.

I personally would stick with your classic solitaire setting and get some gorgeous diamond bands to mix it up, you have many more options for bands when you have a plain ering setting. And you can mix and match, and stack.............

 

[aggie012]

here is one more. all of my photos are inside shots, but this weekend I will most definitely try to take a few outside if I can. thanks everyone!

 

[platinumrock]

WOW, now that is a rock! It certainly looks like a 3 carat. Congrats!!! White RB''s definitely give off the most sparkle out of all the shapes.

 

[Alexiszoe]

I agree with what a few ladies here have said. most people have no idea how a 3 carat looks like and think a 2 carat is huge, hence the reply. your ring looks absolutely lovely. enjoy it!

 

[pocahontas]

Congratulations on your engagement

What a stunning ring! It''s perfect and HUGE - I wouldn''t change a thing about it!

 

[oneandahalfrock]

My goodness, 3 carats and tiny hands- I''m jealous

That looks huge on you! It a good way of course

Most people probably are guess it''s 2 carats just because that''s like the high end for most people- must be an honor to be in the 3 carat club!

 

[BoomersGirl]

it''s stunning! i wouldn''t change a thing about it.

 

[musey]

Your fingers are not chubby!! Well, if yours are, then mine are, as I''m a 5.75 as well.

I think most people don''t have any basis for comparison in stones over 1.5ct or so. Anything bigger is just "big"! Before I had any diamond knowledge it wouldn''t have occurred to me that anyone wore more than 2 carats. Who could possibly be so lucky??

Your ring is GORGEOUS and that stone looks every bit its carat weight. Don''t worry!

 

[MMT]

It is huge and gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
