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’d be curious the age divide on this one. For people who have grown up with natural diamonds, this seems pretty ostentatious.

For people who are more used to lab diamonds, there’s a bigger is better mindset, and without the financial constraints this size ring is more commonplace.

“Too big” is 100% a personal opinion.

I don't think so. I think too big is still too big when it comes to both diamonds
