Hello, Pricescope community!
I have been lurking on here for a while and am continually amazed at the vast amounts of knowledge on this forum! I feel like I've given myself a little amateur education just by reading the posts alone. There's so much to learn. Kudos to you all for being so dang educated on this and thanks for sharing.
But now it's time to put my knowledge to the test and I'm slightly paralyzed!
I am in conversation with the James Allen team and the time has come to request some ASETS. I have a few faves lined up, but since I really don't know what I'm doing yet would like some help.
Here's the setting they are making for me:

East-west, bar setting for an EC.
Here are the choices I've lined up to compare:

These are the ones I have as top contenders:
425263** one of my faves
242565
357332
260429 - I like this one because it's long...but how does that look?
Since I can only request 3 ASETs, I want to make sure I'm getting the best candidates.
I'm thinking I could go a little longer on the length of the diamond, but don't want a stone that doesn't perform.
I think the less expensive options are those I will go for if I go with a platinum setting, and the more expensive could be for a 14K white gold setting. Total for setting, stone AND wedding band should be in the $9K range.
So please tell me, community:
Which ASETs should I request?
And for a tension setting, would you go with 14K? Or platinum? I'm leaning toward the white gold but not sure...
Thanks in advance!
