This is a 5.12 carat OEC I was fortunate enough to try on a couple of years ago. It felt big. Really big....at first. And I’ve had the photos saved and keep looking at them, and dare I say now that the size looks quite tasteful?
Ring is a size 6...I usually wear a 6.5.
Haven’t tried on a step cut in such a large size but that would be an experiment I would certainly be willing to do.
I’m a big fan of simple solitaire settings for really big, beautiful stones (I like complicated settings too, but I think they look best with smaller or colored stones).
Oh it looks great on your hand! Not too big at all, tasteful and classy with some major presence
So I should aim for what, 10.5 mm + ?Oh, Lord, my husband will hate to hear that.
some judicious application of smelling salts later he might be amenable if you agree to settle for a 10.5mm

That’s the perfect size on you imo. Gorgeous with presence and not OTT. At all. It’s perfect. Though a bit larger would also be perfect imo but I’m a size ho
While we’re talking big bling...this ring made me seriously consider a trilogy for the first time. 7.84 carats of OECs. It was unbelievable. My first thought was, “wow, this is a bit much for every day.”
Five minutes later I missed it.
So...my conclusion about how big a ring/earrings one would wear is that you might not know until you try them on.
As for earrings, I think I’m limited by my small earlobes, and fortunate to have recently maxed those out with gorgeous 2.22 ctw CBI studs from the amazing @Wink (old studs on the left at 5.3 mm, new studs on the right at 6.6 mm).
