When it comes to the carat size of your diamond ring, here are some visual guides to help you understand how different shapes appear on your hand:

• Round Shape: Known for its classic appeal, the round diamond offers a clean and timeless look that reflects light beautifully.

• Oval Shape: This shape provides an elegant and elongated appearance, creating the illusion of longer fingers while maintaining a soft, feminine vibe. 

• Pear Shape: Combining the best of both worlds, the pear shape features a rounded end and a tapered point, offering a unique and sophisticated silhouette.

• Princess Shape: With its modern and geometric design, the princess cut exudes a contemporary charm and captures light brilliantly.

2. Recommendations Based on Height

• For Heights Under 5'2": Consider diamonds ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 carats. Smaller stones can create a more delicate appearance and may complement your hand size better.
• For Heights 5'3" to 5'7": A carat size between 1.5 to 2.5 carats can provide a beautiful balance, allowing for an eye-catching yet elegant look.
• For Heights Above 5'8": You can confidently opt for 2.5 carats and above. Larger stones can make a striking statement that suits a taller stature.
