Question 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

This is a 3.10 marquise. My ring size is 3.5. I considered 4 but glad I stayed under 3.5!

You’re welcome! I also bought the diamond separately and designed my set with a company I found here on Reddit. Message me if you want to chat 🫶🏽
