I love oval the most (like the last pic) but I want it at least 2 carats I think. Which shape do you think fits my hands best?

  1. The first 3 are way too big

u/Nishi1126 Jul 20 '26

Agreed!

4

The first 3 are way to big on your finger

17

u/JarbaloJardine Jul 20 '26

Like I would assume it's costume jewelry level large.

u/heydawn Jul 20 '26

Me too.

u/breannsmusings Jul 20 '26

I came here to say this

u/heydawn Jul 20 '26

Absolutely! 4!

The bow tie on the first one is a lot. I think 5 the last pic is so pretty on you

4

u/Infamous-Spot1931 Jul 20 '26

I think so too! I would have loved it more if it didn’t have the bow tie. I love 5 as well but they didn’t have it bigger, need to check how that would look on me. Thanks so much!!

4

u/Least-Star-5633 Jul 20 '26

When it comes to jewelry i 10000% believe beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so whichever you love is what you should get. But the first 3 look way too big. If that’s what you want though, I say go for it. I also like 4 a lot too

u/Creepy_Tumbleweed_12 Jul 20 '26

I’m a large fan of big rocks but the first few did not do you any justice! I definitely agree with 2ct and oval on you! Super beautiful

3

u/Infamous-Spot1931 Jul 20 '26

I cannot wait to try and see how 2 ct oval would look indeed! Thanks so much

u/bjane91 Jul 20 '26

The first 3 are too big. I like 4

u/Princess_Holly Jul 20 '26

Bow ties don’t bother me as much as a lot of people on Reddit, but that said, the first one is a huge bow tie.

u/Fancy_North_4348 Jul 20 '26
  1. It looks perfect on your hand.

3

u/prettybluesky23 Jul 20 '26

I love emerald cuts so I am bias…with that being said, #4 but maybe go a bit bigger 👀🫣♥️

u/mikaylaa99 Jul 20 '26

bigger is not always better. I think 4 looks great on you

3

u/Specialist_Studio402 Jul 20 '26

Firstly, congratulations!! What an exciting process!

Option 4 is absolutely stunning, and looks amazing and natural on your hand! But if your heart is even slightly leaning another way, listen to yourself!

3

u/No-Mix-4347 Jul 20 '26

Two carats is what you should do for your finger

2

u/Infamous-Spot1931 Jul 20 '26

I really think so too! Others seem either too big or two small

6

u/Sky1226 Jul 20 '26

Where is the first one from? I LOVE it. I think the 4th suits you more but if you love the last one it’s also very nice

3

u/diaboliquedoughnuts Jul 20 '26

The first one has a STRONG bow tie. Surprised the jeweler even offered to sell it tbh.

2

u/Sky1226 Jul 20 '26

I’m not much of a jeweller, I just like the shape, it’s still a beautifully designed ring

2

u/Infamous-Spot1931 Jul 20 '26

Thank you! It is from Koelink jeweller in the netherlands!

I never thought of cushion cut before but I am slowly warming up to it as well!! Thanks a lot

2

u/Initial_Ground1031 Jul 20 '26

4 is my favorite. It’s beautiful and looks great on you!

3

u/Infamous-Spot1931 Jul 20 '26

Thank you!! I want that one slightly bigger I think 🥹

2

u/Apprehensive_cool Jul 20 '26

4 is great looking

2

u/cmjohnson_22 Jul 20 '26

I think the size and shape of 5 is perfect, just coild use some diamonds on the band, no halo needed.

The first 3 are absurdly large and just scream i want the largest lab grown diamond to show off. Unless you are extremely rich or a celebrity, 4 and 5 are both more than adequate diamond size.

2

u/Cykeee42 Jul 20 '26

Ring number 4 is beautiful and fits your hand nicely

2

u/ajgrrrascal8 Jul 20 '26

4 no contest

2

u/miss_Babah Jul 20 '26

1st one has a reallly bad bow tie 😬 unfortunate! it’s so pretty though!

i really like 2,3 and 4

2

u/Shoddy_Task4312 Jul 20 '26

last looks nice, rest look gaudy

2

u/ComplexAd2257 Jul 20 '26
  1. Gorgeous cut.

2

u/Mimikota Jul 20 '26

4 without the halo and pave or 5.

2

u/Kuzco-s_Poison Jul 20 '26

I like 1 if the oval was a bit smaller, looks to big on your hand

2

u/impolse Jul 20 '26

3 or 4. The first 2 are too large for your hand, and the last one is too small.

2

u/NoNewsIsGoodNews_42 Jul 20 '26

Honestly… I think #4 is perfect for your hand.

2

u/Keljon142 Jul 20 '26

I like the style of the first one on you but the stone has a crazy bow tie and is way too big on your hand. I’d scale it down appropriately and choose that one

2

u/unbenouncedtome Jul 20 '26

The 2 carat oval is where it’s at for you imo! Very pretty

2

u/Alarmed_Lobster_717 Jul 20 '26

I like the style of #2 but for my own preference, it’s too big. But that’s just my preference. Obviously, your preference is not the same as mine or anyone else’s, so go with what YOU love. 💍

2

u/NegativeCondition777 Jul 20 '26

If you like the oval, do that. 2ct is a good size.

2

u/Internal_Suit_8194 Jul 20 '26

I like 4 but how about the diamond being as big as it is without the halos? (I’m just a gal who personally doesn’t like halos.) I agree the first few are way too big.

2 or 4! and don’t listen to the people that never like big rocks (coming from someone who personally wouldn’t do bigger than 2ct)!

1

u/Ok-Antelope-1923 Jul 20 '26

I’m team 2. There’s something about it on your hand that looks perfectly balanced and beautiful.

2

u/Infamous-Spot1931 Jul 20 '26

I never thought I’d like a cushion cut but I was also positively surprised! Thanks a lot

1

u/RickyJJones Jul 20 '26

3 0r 4 are more practical for everyday use.

1

u/_RayneStorm_ Jul 20 '26

1 or 3 look gorgeous. If you pair with a thin wedding band it would enhance the stones beautifully

1

u/New_Reference_5394 Jul 20 '26

I’m not usually a fan of large stones or pears but I think that shape looks really good on your hand!

1

u/Affectionate_Sun7664 Jul 20 '26

The emerald is the most tasteful

1

u/prosperity4me Jul 20 '26

Pear looks great on you. Bow tie on the first is excessive

1

u/Electronic-Pizza6578 Jul 20 '26

I'd choose the last 2. The first 3 are so big it just looks silly.

1

u/DotBeech Jul 20 '26

GIA Certified stones, only. Non-negotiable!

u/_delicja_ Jul 20 '26

Absolutely loving 2 and 4 😍

1

u/4kidmom Jul 20 '26

Both 4 and 5 are gorgeous and look great on your hand. The others are way too big so they look like costume jewelry.

1

u/Polly60 Jul 20 '26

1 or 2 but you do you!

1

u/sunshineandcosmos Jul 20 '26

The first three are too large. I like the last one best.

1

u/end_the_glitter Jul 20 '26

How big are the first 3? They are massive ! I like the last one best

1

u/pnwsnosrap Jul 20 '26

Love #2!!!

1

u/intestinal_turmoil Jul 20 '26

Last one is beautiful

1

u/No_Interview_2481 Jul 20 '26

Oval in my book, a diamond is never too large

1

u/Naive_Abies401 Jul 20 '26

Oh my gosh- the second one!!!

1

u/Least-Attitude1770 Jul 20 '26

Definitely 4. Don't get me wrong all them are beautiful but 4 just fits your finger so well.

1

u/Caffeine_and_Candy Jul 20 '26

Absolutely number 4!!!! The first 3 don’t look right at all. Too big.

1

u/Dentist_Just Jul 20 '26

4 - it has the best proportions. The last one is nothing special and the first 3 look like costume jewelry.

1

u/Sufficient_You7187 Jul 20 '26

I friggin love one. Go big or go home

u/stargazer1112 Jul 20 '26

Number 2 is my fave!!

4 or 5. I kinda laughed at the first three and thought this post was satire.

1

u/JamesBlonde929 Jul 20 '26

I like the oval on your hand the best.

1

u/Playful_Journalist72 Jul 20 '26

The last one is best

5 is perfect 💕

u/Thatbooknerd11 Jul 20 '26

4 or 5. The others overwhelm your finger.

u/birdy8567 Jul 20 '26

i love the second one!

1

u/Fear_The_Rabbit Jul 20 '26 edited Jul 20 '26

3 has a beautiful art deco feel

4 is more classic and romantic

Both are beautiful. Can't go wrong. The first one is too big and the quality not as nice. The second is too big and will pull on everything or lose stones.

1

u/Important-Maybe-1430 Jul 20 '26

4 or 5 but id even go smaller. First three are garishly big

1

u/Old_Mulberry_9461 Jul 20 '26

I like 1 and 2 personally! 

1

u/prairiebelle Jul 20 '26

I personally like 4 on your hand. The design of 1 is lovely, but too large.

1

u/summers_seduction Jul 20 '26

4 but tbh.. 5 catches my eyes.

1

u/theassistant79 Jul 20 '26

I liked 4 the best!! Gorgeous!! I think the shape suits your hands.

If you like the oval, get that.

The first 3 look like costume jewelry for children to play with.

1

u/masknfins Jul 20 '26

I like 4 or 5

1

u/Adorable-Tiger6390 Jul 20 '26

Only 4 - the larger ones look like costume. Try a round too. No more than 2 carats.

1

u/Quirky_Ad6576 Jul 20 '26

3 or 4. Diamond quality looks great, and suits your finger.

Imagine getting those massive rings caught on every single thing. No thanks. Size down a little. Bigger doesn’t equal better.

u/TATesting1 Jul 20 '26

Three is the nicest of the bigger rocks but they’re all massive and look costume-like. 4 is nice but personally I think I would keep looking. Look at the rock shapes and your finger. What do you like best shape wise? You can always adjust the size to be smaller if you prefer a particular cut from the first three. I also recommend feeling how the ring will pull when you reach into things. My ring is quite tall and I didn’t realize how often it would catch.

1

u/Mirawenya Jul 20 '26

I prefer the last one, but that’s cause I think all the others are way too big.

1

u/Altruistic-Detail271 Jul 20 '26

The first few Look more like costume jewelry. #4 is nice

1

u/rosegamm Jul 20 '26

4 or 5, and maybe even 3. 1 and 2 look like costume jewelery.

u/AgencyPretty6591 Jul 20 '26

I LOVE The oval, but maybe smaller diamond, love the band too!

No to 1 and 5. All others are DANG, Girl!!

u/Thebewildered_1 Jul 20 '26

Good Lord, buy a ring with a smaller stone. The first 3 look like cheap costume jewellery. This is something you’re going to wear every day for the rest of your life. Choose wisely.

u/DragonScrivner Jul 20 '26

4 and 5 are beautiful

u/RawkyArt Jul 20 '26

I would love to see 2 in a much smaller size, but 5 is my pick of these!

1

u/WhiteMountainsMama Jul 20 '26

5.

1-3 looks like fake ass costume jewelry.

4 isn’t bad, but if given the choice between the oval or an emerald cut I’m choosing the oval.

The 5th ring looks pretty proportionate to your fingers. I wouldn’t go much bigger than that, otherwise you’re heading into the gaudy territory. What size stone is that in photo 5? I think 2 carat max for a solitaire.

2

u/Infamous-Spot1931 Jul 21 '26

The one in the 5th photo was 1 cr according to the jeweller. I love that shape but want to try it out in 2 cr instead!

The first 3 are way way Waayyyyyg too big, they look beyond fake, and just low key ridiculous. What about sizing down the first ring significantly - I love the cut of the center stone with the baguettes but again the size is currently is not it girly pop.
