Carat size for sz 5 ring finger

devy2011

I am looking at a 7x9mm oval morganite ring that is approx. 1.80 carats. My ring finger is a size 5, and I want to see other people's rings with the same size hands!

Thanks!

This is probably not the best board on TK - and honestly I would try Wedding Bee's rings board, it's much more jewelry focused than anything I have found here!

This website will help you get an idea of what a ring will look like on your finger. It's geared at diamonds, but you can input the info to match how big the morganite will be to get an idea of what it will look like on your finger: http://www.diamdb.com/

I have a size 4 1/2 ring- My diamond is just under a carat.  I actually wanted a smaller diamond, even though I never tried anything on ( I requested whatever H did be a surprise).  It doesn't look small but it doesn't look overwhelmingly large for my small fingers.  I would go try things on see how different sizes look.

My ring is 6.5, and my morganite is approximately 2.5 carat equivalent.

I'm a size 4.75, my center stone is .83 plus a halo. It's about 1cm x 1cm and doesn't look too big for my hand. That being said, I wouldn't go bigger since I think it would be too much on my finger.

I second the opinion that you go try rings on to see what different sized stones will look like. You really won't be able to tell just by measuring.

I have a size 5 finger (actually 4.5-4.75 depending on the width of the band). I have a 0.50 carat diamond. I have tried on slightly larger ones. It starts getting comical around 1.1 carats, so I can't really imagine what a 1.8 carat would look like.

I'm a size 7 and I have a 1 ct. diamond.  I think it looks absolutely fine.

I'm a size 6 and I have a little over a carat. It looks fine to me.

You all have such tiny hands! I'm a size 7 and we decided on something around 1 carat. It's really just about personal preference. If you go try some on you'll get a feel for what you like.

I have a size 6 finger (and they're kind of short and stubby... damn baby hands), with a marquise diamond just under 1 carat. I think it looks good, but marquises also kind of face up larger than their carat size implies. I tried a 2 carat marquise cz in a jewelery store to get a feel for what a certain band would look like once I put my center stone in... and omgoodness, it looked ridiculous! Check out pricescope for questions like this! There is a ton of information and pictures.

I'm a size 4.5 and my center oval diamond is 1.55 carats, side diamonds are about .33 carats each.

It's all personal preference.  I wear a size 5 ring and my emerald cut stone is 2ct with a halo and baguettes

I'm a size 7.5 and my 2 carat round stone - and I was surprised at how big it looked on my hand. Now, I'm totally used to it (and I love that its big!), but if I had tiny fingers, I don't think I'd go above 1.25 carats. Totally personal preference though.

lilacck28

Yes, want to add... that my "it was ridiculous!" comment was obviously a personal preference related only to what I liked on my own hand! No judgement for small or large stones here.

I'm a size 5.5, and I have a 0.75 carat equivalent stone. I'm not exactly a delicate person with my hands, so I needed something relatively small to cut down on the chances of snagging it, damaging the stone, etc.

I'm a 6.75-7 and my ring is a half carat. I think its the perfect size for me.  The largest I would go would be a 1 ct but thats just personal preference.  I tried on a 2 ct just for fun and while it was big, it didn't look too big.

I'm disappointed with the lack of ring porn in this post

RING PORN.

.70 carat on my size 6 finger

I *think* my ring size is a 6. I have a 1ct cushion cut diamond with a halo. I definitely would not mind 2 cts. 

bethsmiles

Horay! I always love seeing everyone's rings!

Why is my picture so big? How do I make it small lol.

I specifically keep checking this page for ring porn, so...

Ok fine.  I'll play.

Here's my 1ct. cushion cut diamond solitaire on my size 7 finger.  The bands each have around .67cts of pave diamonds in them.

1.5 ct equiv moissanite with purple sapphires. Size 3.75 finger. 

Sorry if it's huge-- don't know how to resize.

My finger is a 4.5, and my ring is total carat weight 1.26. The diamond is .38 and the sapphires are .33 each, the rest is the side stones.

size 4 finger, .71 carat diamond. I definitely wouldn't mind a bigger ring and I think that carat equivalent on a size 5 finger isn't too big but it's a matter of personal preference. I think you should definitely try on different sizes to get an idea of what you're comfortable with.
