no such thing until you're hitting 5 carats...

ok, just kidding (kinda)

your ring looks gorgeous on you. dss will set in very quickly. i'll be generous and give you a year, but you may be an exception. :p

The setting complements it beautifully and makes it very elegant. Enjoy and congratulations!!
 
I think the diamond size is absolutely beautiful, and looks perfect for your hand. The setting you have chosen is gorgeous - I really love everything about it!
 
First I want to say Congratulations!
I think you have the perfect size diamond for your finger. It really looks beautifully well proportioned with your setting.
Just enjoy that beautiful diamond ring.
 
I agree with EB. It's a perfect size for your hand.

(and there is a phenomenon called "shrinkage". After wearing your new E-ring for several months, it will seem much smaller and may, in time, cause you to consider an upgrade ;) )

Congrats on finding your perfect stone!


This statement made me lol!!!
No truer words have been spoken.
 
Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I have been ring shopping for several months trying to figure out what we like and don't like. I always loved 2 carat stones on my size 5.5 finger. Yesterday we found THE STONE and he purchased it. Now that it's all said and done I am suddenly very self conscious about the size. Without a doubt people will judge me no matter what ring I wear, but I am starting to worry about being to showy or blingy. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Did you eventually get used to your stone? Please give me your honest opinion!

Here is our diamond sitting loose in a sample setting

And here is the actual setting we plan on setting the stone in. This is not my diamond in the setting, but one similar in size. Also, my setting will be yellow gold instead of rose gold.

Too big! It perfect. Do you feel comfortable wearing it?
 
Thank you all for your comforting words! I am definitely feeling better about it because I just realized I don't actively look at anyone's ring at work, so mine probably won't be the center of anyone's attention either. My fear of the "size" definitely stems from my very conservative company

Too big! It perfect. Do you feel comfortable wearing it?

Thank you lovieluvslux, I actually haven't been able to wear it yet :pout: ... it will take 6 weeks to set and my boyfriend wants the proposal to be surprise, although I suspect it'll be before the holidays when we visit our families. I seriously didn't realize it would be this hard to wait!!!
 
I wanted to come back and update everyone.... He proposed last night and I am over the moon excited to share with you all!!!! I love and appreciate all the comfort everyone has given me and my worries about it being "too showy" have diminished.
