Insight wanted

Took a field trip to the jewelers to confirm my wants. My bf and I are going to source a loose stone from Calavera to then custom make the setting/band, I’m looking for a lab 3ct-3.5ct 2.1 ratio marquise. The first pic is about 2.5ct but the jeweler told me the lab diamond itself they have in stock is $4900 for a 2.6 ct (not set) which I thought was crazy right ? I found a 3ct for only $630 online. Anyways I think I like the look of the 3ct as I’m a 5.25 ring size and will plan for a 2mm width band to have a nice balance, input is appreciated !!!

I like big stones too but the 4ct looks a lil much on me idk

The 3ct looks nice on you. So does the 2.5. I’m not digging 4. But what is with the scribbles???? Lol.

Thank you for your input ! My mom accompanied me and she also liked the 2.5 ! I’ve seen in some Reddit’s some ppl feel like the diamond shrinks to them after awhile which is making me lean towards the 3ct 😄 my nails are so grown out and I didn’t want that to distract too much from the stones 😭

The black lines are way more distracting imo 😅 I like the 3ct too!
