A One Carat Diamond on a Size 2 or a Size 10 Finger – MySparkly.com Review
“My girlfriend said she loves the one carat size of her best friend’s engagement ring. But Trina is like a size four and my Becky is an eight and a horsewoman. Do I just get her a one carat diamond, or do we scale it up for her size?” Bertram was an engineer and he got me to thinking.

Here is a 1.30cts. Cushion Cut Diamond is on a size 8 Finger
I’ve sold one caraters again and again and they’ve always looked a bit different on each woman who wore it. This is based on the finger size, and the design chosen.
I had never looked deeper except to mention that people should contemplate the look they want on their hand not the picture in the magazine.
Then I found MySparkly.com!
MySparkly.Com and the Difference Finger Sizes Make
Finding MySparkly.com was a happy event for me and perfect timing. I spent time looking for 1ct and similar sized diamonds on different sized fingers on the website. I share them with you to compare.
If you have a larger size finger, it’s a fun reason to go with a larger diamond. But it is not a requirement. It’d be very helpful in choosing favorite details to see how those details look on someone with your skin tone, your finger size and even a similar finger shape. That is the strength and helpfulness of the pictures submitted to MySparkly.com
A Halo Makes Your Diamond Look Bigger
If you have a particular size in mind and your budget says, “nope, you need to go a bit smaller than that,” consider adding a halo or even a double halo.

This White Gold Ring is Size 8 With a Center Under a Carat With Two Halos
Comparing Vintage Styles on Different Finger Sizes
Many times when you have a larger finger style, your finger and hand can stand up to a wider shank and more detail. Check out how these vintage styles look.

This 1.37ct. Vintage Style Looks Great on her Size 6 Finger.
Skin Tones and Your Style
One of the things I love the most about MySparkly.com is the fact that there is a skin tone filter. We all look different and it’s super cool seeing examples on different skin tone types. I feel like that is missing from the ads I see.

What About Bertram’s Engagement Ring Choice for Becky?
He went for a 1.45ct. round brilliant and had me set it in a semi-bezel so she can ride and be at the stables with it. Dude is smart!
Let me know in the comments what you think of this helpful site.
I hope you find MySparkly.com as helpful as I do.

Thanks to MySparkly.com and the lovely women who have posted there for most of the pictures in this post.
My engagement ring is a size 6.25 with a .73 round brilliant diamond, no halo. I didn’t want anything bigger and the under a carat is just perfect. I also went with yellow gold as it was much warmer and don’t regret it.
Hi Nancy,
Thanks for telling your size of finger and the diamond that you chose. It sounds beautiful. I took chose yellow gold to go with the diamonds on my wedding ring. The warmth is pleasing to me too.

I never thought about it, how a one carat diamond looks on different size fingers. It is such a good thing to check out. In trying on my best friend’s engagement ring, her 1.60ct. round diamond looked smaller on me than her as my hands are bigger.
Guess I’ll need a 2ct. diamond.
Hi Tracey,
That cracked me up. Two carats! I’m glad you enjoyed the article.
I was really happy to see all the different pictures of diamond sizes and finger sizes. It was like something in the back of my mind that I knew came into focus and made so much sense.
Enjoy your beautiful diamond when you get it.

Your article about carats vs. finger size is probably one of the most useful pieces I think I’ve ever read online!
Hi Kelly,
Thank you for writing and telling me that.
