## [What Diamond Size for My Ring?](https://blog.facetsingapore.com/does-size-matter-in-diamonds?hsLang=en)
Earlier last year we sent out a survey to our customers & friends of [Facets Singapore](https://facetsingapore.com/) with the simple question: “Does Size Matter?” And no, we’re not talking about what you might be thinking…

Although we had our assumptions, the results were rather revealing. In addition, the quality of verbal responses and comments we received were outstanding.
