Okay! Below is the "old" ring which was an "upgrade" - we've been married a while but still feel newlywed
. I guess I'll just be blunt, that Tiffany ring was too much ring. It's huge (for me) and when it came back sized, it looked even bigger, plus I realized I didn't love the pear, and I wanted yellow. It is a completely perfect stone, but....it wasn't me. My understanding is there was someone who wanted exactly these specs, and since I never wore the ring out (and I think they reset it)....I am thrilled to know it is out there making someone very happy.
The Graff ring is much more me (and I still think it might be a bit much. I have small hands, the Graff ring is under 3 carats (ETA, I checked, just over) and looks gigantic on me)...FWIW.... I did something worthwhile/meaningful with the price difference, which was substantial. That was my real end goal.
