The feeling that your diamond is too big is more common than you might think, and it often fades with time.
Here's what you can do if you think your diamond ring is too big:
-
Give it time: This is the most common advice. Often, what initially feels oversized simply becomes normal as you get used to wearing the ring and other jewelry. As you wear your ring daily, you'll likely adjust to its size and presence, and the feeling of it being "too big" may disappear.
-
Consider the setting: The setting can influence how large a diamond appears. A higher setting can make a diamond look more prominent. Consider if a lower profile setting might be more comfortable and visually appealing.
-
Evaluate your lifestyle: Consider your daily activities. A very large diamond might not be practical if you work with your hands a lot, or are particularly active.
-
Talk to a jeweler: A jeweler can offer personalized advice and explore options such as:
- Resetting the diamond: You could consider resetting the diamond into a different setting that better suits your taste and lifestyle. This could involve a lower profile setting or a design that makes the diamond appear less prominent.
- Trading up or down: While possibly not ideal, you could potentially explore trading your diamond for a smaller stone, perhaps even receiving a partial refund. Conversely, you might be able to trade for a different larger stone you prefer the cut or style of, for a price.
-
Embrace it: Ultimately, if you love the diamond and the size, own it! Confidence is the best accessory.
