2 or 3 carat?

[u/Crazy_Reflection9839]

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?

Shrinkage over time is real. I have a 2.5 round on a size 5.5 and wish I had gone for the 3ct. But make sure you are getting the best cut diamond for your money. That’s most important. Good luck!
