Advice Help! Analysis paralysis. What is off?

I am so torn! Please help!

I liked brilliant round solitaires but wanted something more unique; like cushions but wanted more sparkle. As a result, I opted for a hearts and arrows cushion.

However, something feels off. Does anyone know what it is? Or does it look good and I’m overthinking?

Would love thoughts on the best among these options or creative ideas about the gem/band/etc! Adding other sizes in comments.

EDIT: I agree the ring is a tad too small and needs to be resized. Unfortunately rings can’t go lower on my finger.

It’s a beautiful diamond. To me, it (the diamond) looks too big for your finger.

As others have said, a ring is typically worn lower on the finger. Your ring is closer to your knuckle.

I agree. I think the size really draws attention to where the ring sits, even though that’s as far down as her finger goes. A smaller diamond would be a bit more flattering.

Was that ring too small? That's the only thing I see that looks off. The ring is sitting too high up on your finger.

It could be! This is what I was sized as in store a few times though :/

Nevermind this is as far as I have to go!

The only thing that looks off to me is that the ring is too small. It should slide down to the bottom of your finger. It shouldn't be seated up by the knuckle. Otherwise it's very pretty.

First off congrats!

I think it’s very pretty but to me it almost looks like it’s off center on the band. Idk if that’s the lighting but that’s what it looks like to me in the second photo

I think that is my poor photography skills SMH sorry!

The ring looks really small and it’s unable to be worn how it’s supposed to which is all the way down your finger. Can you not push it further down? If not then it’s definitely too small

Edit: it also doesn’t look centered on the band to me

u/glazstru67 13h ago

That’s where my finger stops :(

u/ABDMWB 13h ago

When you take it off is there an indention of where the ring was? Like can you tell there was a ring there?

1

u/glazstru67 13h ago

A little. I think you are right that it is too small for sure, even if just for comfort reasons!

u/ABDMWB 13h ago

I think it would look better if it were sized correctly! Also in that photo it doesn’t look uneven; it must just be different camera angles. It’s a beautiful ring! I think it may just look off because it’s too small

I wonder if a different cut would look better on your finger! Like others mentioned, it looks too close to your knuckles. I wonder if a pear would look better?

I think maybe it's a little big? Or ... This is an odd observation - is it too similar to the size/shape of your fingernails? Maybe an oval would be worth looking at? Or a trilion cut?

Did you request it off centered in anticipation of a wedding band balancing it?

1

u/glazstru67 14h ago

Think that is my photography!

u/glazstru67 14h ago

Here are different size options! Think the off center look is my poor photography!!

What are the different carat sizes compared to the one in the body of the post?

It looks like AI from a website is beaming the ring onto your finger, or at least the diamond. Like you’re not wearing it in reality. Something about the brightness and dimensional quality of the diamond not matching the rest of your hand.

u/glazstru67 14h ago

I feel this a bit!!

u/glazstru67 14h ago

BTW - my hand seems to only accommodate a ring this low on the finger!

u/Viocansia 13h ago

The ring is too small, and what metal type is the band?

u/Sweet-Translator-799 13h ago

I think the ring and diamond are gorgeous on your hand!

Get your nails done!! Will feel much less “ missing something “

I think you should try an oblong cushion in portrait as I feel like the square makes your hand look shorter

u/hot-drink-vibes-LLC 14h ago

Honestly I have no idea, this looks normal to me and nothing seems off (other than you not wearing the ring further down your finger). Maybe a close up video would allow us to see more? You might get some people saying stuff about the size but that's just people wanting to be all special and different preferring diamonds so tiny you can barely see them lmao.

I appreciate it!
