If you have said Yes, then below are some ways to make the
diamond look bigger than it is.
A Thinner Band
The more delicate the
band, the larger the
stone should appear. In contrast, a thicker
band would dwarf any
stone set on it. A split
band diamond ring is a superb idea, and so is a
double banded design. Either can frame the stone perfectly and not overshadow it.
A Smaller Setting
The
setting has great bearing on how big the
stone looks. Something chunky like a
prong setting will occupy a lot of space at the edge, which is bad. A subtle
four prong setting, on the other hand, can create and carry the illusion of a large
diamond.
A Halo Design
With a
set of pave stones surrounding the
center stone, you can easily and
affordably enhance the apparent size of the latter. A small
center diamond would look a lot bigger.
