Hi everyone! I've been debating whether or not to make a post on here, as I am aware that there is a separate forum for "ladies in waiting" and boyfriend and I are not actually engaged just yet. However, I reasoned a post on this forum would get more exposure, and thus I could get more feedback 
Last week, my boyfriend of 3 years and I met with the jeweler who is making my ring, and we picked out the setting and stone. Later in the week, bf confirmed that he had gone ahead and ordered the ring, and that according to the jeweler should be ready by the end of the month/early December. [Not a very romantic story, but it's what works for us !]
This is where I need your help as I am not familiar with the procedure involved in getting jewelry made.
I love the setting I chose, which is a very simple cathedral solitaire. It looked great on my hand, and it is still the style that I want. However, looking at the pictures that I took, I am afraid that the final product will be too chunky for my hands. I have relatively small fingers (size 4.5) and the pictures are looking a little too metal-ly.
What I understood from the jeweler is that the actual setting would be "shaved down" (not sure if those were his actual terms) but that essentially the setting I was seeing was like a one-size-fits-all, and that the prongs and everything else are shaved down to "fit" the diamond.
I'm not sure if I'm freaking out for no reason, and maybe the only reason the ring looks super chunky is because of the angle of the photos, or what. I don't remember thinking it looked clunky when I chose it, and I also know it could easily be reset if its not something I'm 100% happy with, but I just hate to think that we would have to do that.
Has anybody had any similar experiences that could provide some guidance? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Ps. I'm trying to figure out a way to attach the picture so its not sideways, so please bear with me, as I am new here! It's going to be set with a 2.39 RB if that helps.
