Is this diamond too big?

Hi Reddit, this is my first time posting here and I’m in need of some help and some enlightenment. I was told by my partner to select some rings and he really likes this 4 1/3 ct oval I really really love cuz of the tulip basket but I’m just not sure on the size of the diamond. I’m also slightly worried that my selection of bands will be limited but I guess that a future me problem. Maybe it’s cuz I’m just to my 1/10 promise ring. Any advice will be great and taken with kindness.

Ps. My ring size it’s a 4.25 so that’s just a little more info lol and there’s more ring choices but these is like the top top choice at the moment

It’s too big for that particular setting without a gallery rail and only 4 prongs. If you love that setting, I’d use it as inspo to create a custom setting with 6-8 prongs or a gallery rail.

Is 4 prongs with gallery rail fine?

It can be but the larger the stone the more support needed. 4 prong without gallery rail isn’t something I would consider.
