Quick Question Re Diamond Size

[togal]

I'm ordering diamonds to have a 5-stone ring made. Four of the diamonds range between 5.06 - 5.11 mm with tables of 56 and 57. One of the stones I wanted isn't available, so I've been given an option of another stone which has perfect proportions and is H&A and all the other good stuff, however, it's size is 5.14 - 5.16 mm with a 58 table. Wondering if this will make a notable difference when lined-up with the other diamonds, and if it will be an issue when creating the ring, as I am thinking of having U-prong setting, or a trellis. Would appreciate any input that can be offered on my question. Thanks!

biggest diamond in the center 58t with 57t each side then 56t on ends no problem.
58 next to 56 a small minority of people might see it.

I agree - probably wouldn’t be noticeable from a glance - but maybe if you looked at it up close.

Thanks! Yes…I phoned jeweller and that was his advice too…larger stone in the middle to mask negligible difference in size…

I made my own 5-stone out of individually-found old low-crown cut rounds, 4.3-4.6mm diameter, and they are clearly different sizes and cuts, but from a casual observation nobody would notice. Less size difference than that and I would struggle to see it (40+yo eyes ). Tables are all over the place. You can obviously see in the magnified photos in the thread, but IRL it's just "sparkly 5-stone". (Can't even casually appreciate they're OECs instead of MRBs at that size, tbh!)

Omigosh, you guys, it is here and it is done and I got the call this afternoon and immediately drove all the way across the city to pick it up and I have COMPLETELY destroyed my afternoon staring at it and loving it. :mrgreen: I've been thinking about this ring every day for the 6 weeks it...

So, if you are looking for "literally no discernible difference between diamonds" you may not achieve that depending on how sharp your eye is, but I bet it will be fine if you are a human with human eyes! Putting the largest in the center with the tables "tapering out" towards the ends is absolutely how I'd handle it.
