What size side stones?

[lala646]

I have a 0.70ct D VVS2 MRB, and I was thinking of using it to make a 3 stone flush set (aka gypsy style) ring. What size side stones would you all recommend? Additionally, the stone has strong blue fluor. Would it be recommended to get sides that also have fluor, or does that not really matter?

I personally would go around 5 mm. That would be like .5 stones.

What size finger do you have?

What size finger do you have?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. Not small. Ring finger is 8.75, middle is 9.5. and I'm not yet sure which I would wear it on.

I think .5 stones would work fine. If you are planning on setting them something like this, the ring would be pretty substantial. This ring has stones that total .8 ctw
