Amen to that.
When Mr. Adrienne was shopping for my ring, I gave him only 2 criteria: yellow gold band and an oval cut. After that it was up to him.
We shopped together for a while and some slease salesman tried to sell us a huge stone he described as "high quality". Problem: it was pee-in-the-snow yellow and you could see the flaws across the room. He must have thought we fell off the turnip truck the day before.
Another time I tried on a huge set of 3 ovals--it made my hand look anorexic.
IMHO, it's not about the size per se, but how it looks on you. Even the Hope Diamond can look like crap if it's not worn correctly, or if you can't "carry" it well.
My teeny tiny hands are very happy w/ the Grade D flawless 0.5 carat that Mr. Adrienne slipped into a Cracker Jack box.

Pardon me while I get corny--the radio was actually playing a song about this on the drive to work. Can't remember who sings it.
"Don't love make a diamond shine
It don't matter if it costs a dime.
Dang thing looks like a million bucks
Sittin' on the hand of a girl in love.
Even a 15-carat
Is duller than dirt if the heart don't wear it."
