thank you, it is very helpful.

I imagine how it look like 3c diamond.

Thanks a lot for posting this. It really helped in deciding whether a 1.5ct or a 2ct stone would be best for me.

I have really small fingers (size I, english, 4 1/4 american) so i would love to know how a 1 carat would sit on my hand...just incase my bf decides to buy me a ring in a year or so

I took a photo of my ring and earrings after cleaning them this week, thought they may be useful to compare sizes.

From left to right is
3.67crt - 1crt - .51crt

HTH someone!

*forgive the severe color reflection, my formal living room is a deep gold colorush:

This is such a helpful picture! THANKS!!

6 carat in the Tiffany classic solitaire setting
$900,000

too big IMO too for an RB. Makes my 3.7 RB look small! LOL!

Well, with a stone that size, should anyone come up and try to take it, it makes a pretty good weapon to whack them with

YES! you have maximum size of RB solitaire!!!
Do not push your sweet DH for bigger ones!!!
...I doubt it...

I've had it 2 yrs and haven't once thought I'd want a bigger one!
Once in a while, in a ploy to butter me up, he'll try and tempt me w/ a bigger and I always tell him he's got the wrong bribery tactic, I don't want it bigger, LOL!

Swanky, do you know if this is accurate (did you compare your ring). I am DREAMING for a 3+ Cushion cut ring and it seems small according to this.
