Engagement/ Wedding rings and bands

Re: Engagement/ Wedding rings and bands

ok, i think i’m almost convinced to buy a ring from bluenile :). i found a setting i really like, but still haven’t decided on the center diamond. i don’t want it to be too big or too small.

the ring i liked at zales was 2 CTW including the setting, center diamond and band. i believe the center diamond was 5/8 CTW.

this particular one from bluenile…the band is 0.75 CT and the setting without the center diamond is about 0.60 CT..so the total weight is about 1.35 CT. should i look for a center stone that is .75? or do you think i can go for something smaller like .50 or .60 without compromising the shock factor of the ring? here’s a link to bluenile:

this is the zales ring i’m referring to:
