Hello everyone, I am getting CLOSER to finally being able to pop the question. I have selected the center stone (an amazing 1.6 ct G from WF) and I now have my absolute favorite designer (MWM) working on a setting that will be based off the one below (see link), but with a few tweaks to better accomodate the stone on her petite fingers and allow for a flush-sitting wedding band:

Now to the question. 6-prong settings are very uncommon in the area where I live and my girlfriend has never seen a 6-prong setting in person. She doesn't know I am designing a ring or planning to propose. I have seen 6-prongs in person (only a Mark Morrell and this Tiffany's setting, so I've been spoiled) and I really liked them. However, I've heard others say that the extra prongs cover the center stone a little too much and possibly take away from the overall appearance. My girlfriend is 27, a ring-size 4.5-5, and the ring itself is approx 3mm.
So I am asking a favor, particularly of some of you newly-engaged or newlywed women. Have you seen/tried on both? If so, which do you think would look best with this particular setting?
Also any additional feedback would be more than welcome!!
Thanks in advance!!
