Ok, I'm only one woman, but HONESTLY, when a girl says she doesn't want a big ring, she's being polite. There's a difference between a ring that's gaudy and gross and a ring that's a nice size and beautiful. As well, I promise you this. We respect the work you men go into as far as quality goes, we adore the fact you worked so hard to get a nearly perfect ring that has so many wonderful qualities. BUT, I can say for the most part, if you can't see the difference, it really doesn't matter. Now, don't go buy some cheap-o thing because I said that, but remember that the ring will be on her finger for the rest of her life. Most likely she will forget all the numbers, sizes and dimensions that you told her all about after giving it to her. She will prize whatever you do get her and cherish it for life. I know it's a good quality as far as those "c"'s go because he said so. It's a good size too because it looks beautiful on me. If anything I'd focus on quality as far as crafstmanship goes, I don't want my diamond falling out, or the band bending. Also, I want to have it sparkle, so buying it somewhere local that offers free cleaning is fun.

Bottom line, if you put two diamond rings together and the price difference is high but it's hard to tell by the eye, then that should/could always be the test. If you can't tell, we can't tell. We don't want you going broke, and I'd rather have a "bigger" diamond that's good quality than a small one that's perfect.
