Hello amazing gemstone experts! I guess I'm not a "newbie" since I've posted before but I don't know nearly as much as all of the experts on here so hoping for some advice and guidance. I am pregnant with my first child (baby girl) and as a push present, I really want a large (around 4 carats) light purple/lavender ring with a diamond halo that I would wear as a right hand ring. I'm not entirely decided on the shape of the stone but I'm envisioning oval. I'm not sure what stone would be the best . . . a purple sapphire, spinel or amethyst? It seems to me that amethysts are definitely the cheapest by far, but price isn't exactly a huge concern to me. I'm starting to feel overwhelmed in my search because I'm just not sure where to start. This wouldn't be a ring that I wear every day, and I'm also very careful with my rings, but I also understand that these 3 stones are all pretty durable for ring use, right? Aside from price, is there any compelling reason to choose one type of stone over the other for a right hand ring?
In searching for inspiration pictures online, I came across this ring on etsy which I really love and might even consider purchasing. I've also noticed that pricescope members have recommended this etsy vendor so that makes me feel good:

Is there anything I should be concerned about right away with respect to this ring?
Thanks very much for your assistance and advice!
