Will I notice a difference between 3.5 & 4 pointers melée

[mrs k]

Hi everyone!
Do u think I will notice a difference in these 2 sizes for my eternity ring?

yes, i think you will.

the 3.5 mm is 87.5% the size of the 4 mm.

just think, would you see a size difference between a 3.5 carat and a 4 carat? these are the same proportions when comparing.

Perhaps if you squint and have them side by side. A 3 point diamond is 2.1mm in size and a 4 point diamond is 2.2mm is size. Your eye will only be able to notice that difference if you are ver eagle eyed, and on its own in a ring without a comparison I doubt you would see it.

I think she was referencing 3.5 point and 4 point diamonds, not 3.5mm versus 4mm diamonds.

oh yeah, you're right. well, i suppose 3.5 versus 4 of anything will be the same ratio. when you're scattering a bunch of melee across a band, prongs, etc. and if the work is very detailed and intricate, the difference is important particulary in terms of how many you would need to fill a space. but then again, 3.5 & 4 pointers are actually kinda big for melee.

what are the diamonds for?

Thanks everyone. It's fir a v step cut pave eternity band to go with my .90 RB solitaire e-ring. The band on that is 2.8mm for reference...

0.5 ct.

Although it sounds logical, that the same ratios of weight and spread would apply, it does not work with diamonds.
A 1.00 well cut stone is 6.5mm ( for example) a well cut two is 8mm

The difference in a two bands, one with diamonds of .035ct each, the other having .04ct diamonds will be very small. You'd need to put them next to each other to see the difference- even things like the thickness of the edge of the ring might make a lot more difference.

Yes, .035- .04ct is generally way larger than micro set type designs.

Thanks for ur response rockdiamond. I might stuck to the 3.5 pointers...
