Since you said initially you wanted to stick with D or E, then why not the E VVS1 posted by @DejaWiz. You were also initially worried about something being too large, but this one at 5.5 mm should be fine. Not too big, but not too small, IMO.

There is an odd phenomenon we call DSS (Diamond Shrinkage Syndrome). The first time you put a new stone/ring
on you're "Wow, it's so big!". Two weeks later you're like "This is just the right size", and two weeks after that you're
like..."I wish I had gone bigger." It happens so fast.
Anyway, I think you should go with .5 or more to help with DSS (my opinion). The good news is that you can update
later through Whiteflash if your GF/wife feels like she is ready to go bigger.
Also, wondering what size her finger is...that can also play into the "how big it feels" phenomenon.
Bet you never knew it was this complicated!
Seriously, if it all seems overwhelming you can just ignore this post. I
dont want to make it any harder for anyone. Best of luck!

Agree, her finger size will really impact how large or small the diamond looks. Then knowing this,

Looks like she is close to size 6 3/4 or 7. That's on the bigger side (I wear a 6 3/4). You can go slightly bigger and have it still
not look too big (IMO) .5ish would be good
I see your setting does give the stone some more presence. Did she pick that out? To be honest (to me) it looks more like
a Right hand ring (or would it be left hand ring in Europe) then an engagement ring. Just my opinion...you go with what you
think she would like.

She didn't really pick that out but speaking about engagements of friends she clearly said that she likes these kind of "braided"/"interwined" rings.
She has particular tastes, it's not super uncommon here this kind of rings but it's not even the most classical one

any clear winner with D color?
Compared to original one from Whiteflash (0.44) are they worse in quality? (Like: it's bigger but a bit less bright or bigger and brighter or same quality etc)
I would not go to 0.6 honestly, or it will end up to be 1ct soon
p.s.: for 0.54 there is also this one but has been suggested against

It's a bit overwhelming I have to admit.
She has 54 mm (2.12 inches for pals from America) finger circumference
Edit: the ring will be also taking a bit of space. It's 100% custom design
Edit 2: ring will be created in platinum or palladium
Sorry for the dash of negativity, but I did want to mention (in case you hadn't seen it), that there's a strong resemblance to an eye or the evil eye motif and doesn't really ring true for braided types.
I'd look at designs that involve the words "bypass" and "twist"
Thank you, it has been inspired by https://de.edenly.com/schmuck/solitaire-nid-precieux-dova-diamant-15-karat-wei-g,3705.html
designer is still working on it no worries, it won't be the final design.

The IF clarity is going to really inflated the price tag, so I would highly recommend VVS-VS1 to get just as clean to the eyes as any IF/FL, unless there is cultural importance for the extreme IF/FL clarity.
For better price per carat, please have a look at these ACAs:

Do you think the 0.55ct is better than my previous 0.54 and 0.56 ignoring completely the price?
the 0.5 has cavity inside that triggers me a bit

Frankly at around 0.5 carats and at normal viewing distances, any WF ACA D-G IF-VS2 are going to look indistinguishable to most people. In side by side comparisons in person small cut and color differences may be noticeable between them, but I doubt there will be any strong preferences of one over another.

Here are the two that you linked in post #44 and then a .50 that @DejaWiz linked. (if you want to see them all together).
I agree with @0-0-0 that any WF A Cut Above stone like these are all going to be hard to distinguish between. They are tightly
vetted and their angles and percentages all fall within a tight range. If knowing you have a D/IF is important to you then
I suggest one of the ones you linked. If that's not a high priority then take a look at some of the other ones linked.

I chose the .55 one
I looked at it and I was pretty confident even if it was not IF
I think overall it looks better on her finger than the .44
YES!
So glad that you picked that one...fantastic 40.8/34.5/55 combo.
