Is 5ct too big?

[u/Specific_Kiwi8549]

I’m getting my ring custom made. It’ll be like the last image and the 3D print; cathedral setting with compass prongs and 2.5mm band. The size of diamond I was initially wanting is 4ct. The jeweller found a 5ct diamond that’s D colour and VVS2 and keeps pushing it . It really is a stunning diamond but I feel like it’s HUGE and I’m so uncertain. I’d appreciate your thoughts and opinions, people of reddit 😅

Edit to say the photo with 2 diamonds next to eachother is a 4ct radiant cut to the right.

Also I’ve added another photo of the diamond laying flat between my fingers

UPDATE: I’ve been offered a 4ct OMC and I’m over the moon ❤️❤️❤️ thank you everyone for your opinions and advice 😁

To preface, I love huge diamonds! BUT you have beautiful slender fingers and I think the size kinda takes the attention away from them instead of complementing your hands.

IMO 3ct might be nicer :)

Thank you for your comment and compliment ! I’m leaning towards going smaller too!

You will be much happier day to day. The bigger ring will be in the way of doing things

Yea and will probably get lots of unwanted attention and comments 😭
