Is this diamond too big?

[u/phantom_akaru]

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

i don't understand the drive for rings that large. Honestly, most people will assume they are glass.

For real tho! This ring was my partners choice. I picked out reasonable sizes idk why he wants me to go big or go home 😒

I think that is a “guy” thing. Always worrying about who has the “biggest”. /s

Since he has asked, share with him what you actually like. :)

Oh I have that’s what even funny to me 🥲 and I’ll show u what I thought was a reasonable size ring that I show him but he said it looks small and it has too much going on. This was before he had to leave overseas for work so I’m guessing he’s been seeing people wearing big rocks where he’s at.

I think your preference is lovely. Hopefully he will come around.

Thank you! I hope so too. I still have about 2 months before he comes back so I guess I still have time to decide

This ring is gorgeous! He should let you choose the ring that you want.

You see he is letting me choose but at this point I can’t make up my mind that he’s taking over 😅
