I think .5-.75 is a great size for a non-engagement ring. Contessa brought up a good point that the ring might be mistaken for an enagagement ring. A smaller solitaire (maybe with side stones or a fancier setting) would be a nice everyday ring that wouldn't compete with her future e-ring.

Oops, I got confused about which thread this was! Hehe, take my comment as if I posted in your other thread on this topic :p.

girliceclimber - thanks for your help. My threads about this should probably be merged as they are overlapping content anyway. I'm so excited to get this bright little ring. Just learned that I can do a lower color in a smaller stone which will be even less $.

I think around 50 pointers is great for a teenager. I wouldn't go all the way up to D/E/F for a stone this size. If I could choose, I would go for a G, VS1/2. I'd be surprised if Tiffany can't pull out a G from their huge inventory. Even if they don't have it in your store, I'm sure they can do a search.

A fancy yellow diamond would be nice and timeless, and from the ones I've seen at Tiffany's, they are very good quality. Alternatively, as ame pointed out, a round brilliant or cushion cut set in a halo would look the least "engagementy". My youngest cousin (she's about 20 years old) received a cushion cut diamond ring in a halo setting from her mother and it looks very pretty on her.

ame - Do you think a small novo looks engagementy?

I think the least "engagmenty" rings (nice adjective there btw!) have multiple diamonds as the focus -- whether it's a halo surrounding one larger solitaire, or matched side stones. The novo is lovely but because the pave is on the band, the center stone sticks out and gives it that engagment ring profile.
I also like the thought about a canary diamond.
