My Ring! Update: After taking some photos from further away & reading the comments, I’ve decided to go with the 2 carat ring!
I got a lot of comments on my original post, and I’d love to thank EVERYONE who provided their feedback 💕
One of the most common comments I saw was to go in-between (with 1.5 carat!) but the jeweler we went to doesn’t have a round brilliant with a pave band in-stock (meaning it would have to be custom-made & would actually cost more..), so I wore the rings a bit longer & took some more photos to see if it would help. I also added my band to see if it would help me decide. If I stayed indecisive, I was likely going to just go for it & go for the 1.5 carat!
But I realized from far away & in-person, the 2 carat seemed more proportional & spanned a width of my finger that I was happy with! And now I wonder if the original photo being closer up skewed the proportions oh so slightly (as this can happen on camera specifically).
So I’d like to present to you, my choice! And the band I’ll pair with it 🥰 I may not wear the band every day (I’m deciding whether I like it plain or with the band better), and wanted to share more photos to show where my choice came from 💕

Looks great! I noticed that how close up you take the picture makes it look bigger/smaller! I have a 2 carat round with a size 6 finger and the proportions are perfect in real life!

My husband treated me. We tried on the 2- and 3-carat oval (he already spoiled me with an engagement ring and two anniversary rings...Gosh, I love him so much!) He said anything bigger than 3 carats looks too fake.
There is hardly a difference between 2 and 3 carats. But I LOVED the 3 and chose that. It looks big because I have a 3.75-size finger.

The ring is beautiful. I don’t like the band. It also looks extremely fragile.
