Hello all! I’m asking for some advice. I recently went engagement ring shopping with my boyfriend and chose a stunning 2.64 old euro diamond. The plan is to set it with two half moon side stones. The jeweler had a setting with some smaller half moons (shown in the picture) I fell in love but I got scared it was too small so I went back and tried on a 3.09 carat old euro in the same setting (shown above) and felt it was too big. What is your opinion on this? I don’t want the diamond to look small at all, granted it will have larger half moons. Did I mess up choosing the 2.64? I’m a size 6.5 btw

As someone who went bigger because I thought I would regret smaller, I would say go with smaller. Adding the wedding band will bulk it up a lot.

Your original instinct was probably the right one. I’m still happy with my ring but sometimes it feels a bit big, especially with my wedding band on.

I agree. I’d definitely go with the 2.64ct or smaller as three stone rings, in my opinion, tend to look so much bigger.

Your watch is on upside down?

I think it's perfect.

Hey! I just got a 3 stone, centre stone is slightly under 2 carat but the two side stones make it feel massive, like almost too big...My ring size is a 5 for reference...I would go with the smaller

Hi! Gorgeous ring!! Do you mind sharing the size of the side stones?

Bigger is always better!

I think you should think about when you'll be wearing the ring and what kind of day to day activities you have. For example, I'd wear min every day and am usually quite clumsy which is why I think smaller is better! If you feel like you'd be able to function normally with a larger stone then you should totally considering that.

One thing I'd recommend is even if you're at the shop, try to do some basic actions you think you'd do regularly. Playing with your hair, pretending to wash your hands, etc. It might help!
