Here it is. It’s a little over 4ct and I have a tiny tiny micro halo on it. 1.6mm and shank.
So funny. I just attached it but do not see it…. Hold on.
I tried posting before. Let’s see if it will go thru..
Niiiiceee. My engagement ring is 1.7 carat round. I only noticed the visual difference to a bigger round when it was 1.7->2.2 carats. Only +.5 carats was worth writing home about, and that difference gets bigger the higher your carat weight. When I was e-ring shopping, I noticed a 2 carat emerald looked as big as a 1.5 carat round. This means if you want the visual difference of a bigger diamond compared to your current one, I'd guess you need at least a 2.5 carat emerald ($$$). I'm glad you ended up with a 2.5 carat round because it's very ~wow!
I think your upgrade is beautiful! In my opinion you definitely need a new eternity to pair with it. That beauty needs at least a 1.5 to 2 carat eternity.
Congratulations! The upgrade Diamond is beautiful and the rings look perfect together. I love how your e-ring is the show stopper as it should be, and they compliment your hand beautifully!
As for your question regarding a spacer, your jeweler would be the best person to advise you on that. We can’t judge by this photo. You’d be able to see if diamond rubs against prong or vise versa looking at your rings from the side. Your band is set in one of the more secure setting (as opposed to shared prong), so that’s a bonus.
Again, I think your set looks perfect! Congratulations!!!
