I have large fingers, size 8.5. The E-ring is a solitaire in platinum 2.5mm, its an emerald shape and very close to a 1ct size. So I am looking at a channel set band and there are two.

The first one is asschers, there are 12 and the tctw is .61 so 5 points each, I believe that is 2mm in size. The band is 3.3mm wide, 2mm height. Will this go far enough around my finger? This band is 300 more than the following.

9 channel set baguettes .39ct, band is 2.6mm wide and ht is 1.6, both bands from facets. The baguette I believe would be 4.3 points each?

I know that asschers are more expensive than the baguettes, and with the .21 ct size difference it seems like the asscher is the better deal for 300 more.

Is this enough carat wt? I don’t want it to overpower the E-ring, but I don’t want it puny either.

I have asked on pricescope but got no response.

Opinions please, which is better? And is it enough carat wt?
They do match the color and clarity E-F/VVS1-2-VS1-2. That is the problem stores do not carry asschers, or baguettes, only princess’s and rounds in a channel setting. I have not found a princess channel set that has that number of stones or that carat wt.
