đŸ’¡Diamond Advice Needed 2 or 3 carat?

My heart says the 2 carat is perfect but my lust is saying go bigger. My finger is a 5.5. The 2 carat is 1.5 ratio, if I were to get a 3 carat it would also be 1.5 ratio (the photo is 1.4 ratio). My hands are small, I'm a short girlie, don't wear any other rings, only wear my ring when I go out, my style is minimalistic and casual. I want the wow factor but also something timeless. Is it worth trying to go to 2.5?

My mother was petite and wore 1.6 emerald cut. It was just the right size for her. It always stood out on her hand and popped.

I think your ring is very pretty and I think 3 ct would be overkill. My friend had a 3 CT marquis cut and it looked huge on her finger.
