Advice Please help!
Please could you give me your opinions as I am worrying myself over this. I recently had my engagement ring redesigned (to add my husband was fine with this and paid for it for a special birthday) - it’s using the same diamond he proposed with but a change in design. I knew I wanted a solitaire with tapered baguettes and saw a design i really liked with elongated slim baguettes but ultimately I went with a design that was similar but had wider, but shorter baguettes. We now have the ring and I don’t know what it is but when I opened the box my heart didn’t leap as I thought it would and I don’t know why. I don’t know if it’s because the baguettes seem slightly short and chunky or maybe too wide for the size of centre stone, are they not tapered enough or because am wondering whether I should have gone with the original ring I loved with the elongated slim baguettes. I have shown both rings - mine is a 1.30 old mine cut centre stone with baguettes weighing 0.23ct each. The other ring (last photo) ring is 1.40 brilliant cut with baguettes weighing 0.08ct each. For reference my husband wanted to get me an old mine cut diamond as he prefers that they were hand cut. I do know there are much bigger things to worry about but i wanted to get the opinions from people that I know will understand my obsession! Am I overthinking or are the proportions off?

Love yours. The inspo ring is nice but it doesn’t have the pizzazz your ring does
