Hello All,
I am in the preliminary stages of shopping for a diamond engagement ring and have visited a few stores recently. I have a few questions and would appreciate any input!
I will be getting a single round solitaire in the 2-3 carat range with no side stones, and am having a difficult time choosing between Tiffany's higher setting and De Beers/Harry Winston settings which let the diamond sit lower on the finger. I feel like the lower settings can make the diamond look smaller because it does not pop out as much.
1) What are your thoughts on lower vs higher settings?
2) If any of you own Harry W, Tiffany, DB please comment on your thoughts and what made you choose your setting.
3) Once I get the ring, I will wear it everyday. I work so I do not want anything too flashy or too large. The 3 ct rings I have tried on have looked really large on me. I am only 5' 3" and petite. At what point do you think a ring is too large/flashy to be able to wear everyday?
TIA!
