Help With Setting

I have two projects in the works. I've decided that I will set the 6mm tsavorite I purchased from Katharath in an IDJ jacket. I am adding a delicate diamond bail. Yekutiel and I have already discussed the project and he helped me chose the bail. This is a perfect setting for the tsav as it deepens and helps the tsav maintain its color. The tsav looks a lot better under certain lighting conditions. Katharath passed this info onto me but I wanted a round, calibrated size stone and I felt that the stone would work well for what I had in mind.
Now, I also have the new 6.8(ish)mm tsav. It does have the small window and while I am not thrilled with the window, I do otherwise like the stone and I think that with the right setting, the window will not be all that noticeable, if at all. I don't have any experience setting a stone with a window and I am wondering what type of setting would work best. Halo? Basket that is not too open?

I would imagine that some sort of busier basket would help, but I haven't run into this issue yet. Do you have pics of the stones?

I'm interest in this question also. Do people have pictures of the kind of baskets that hinder light from entering a window, thus making it hard to detect?

LD posted pictures of her halo basket recently showing how it made her sapphire (?) look less windowed than it really is.

Jereni, I posted photos of the stone on Nov. 5th under the subject "New Tsavorite -Opinions Please".

Chrono, would you be able to direct me to the post with LD's photo? I am not having any luck locating it.
