Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you mention your girlfriend is Asian? In some Asian cultures they do value very high color diamonds. In that regard, you may want to stick to what she wants. To tell the truth, and I always say this, you two should design this ring together. She has to wear it, so she should get a say in how it looks.
I'm also going to be the dissenter on the round cut shape. She says they're too common and I feel just the same way. It seems like most women have a round cut diamond. For my engagement ring I wanted something different. I still don't care for rounds. I don't like repeated concentric patterns, they hurt my eyes, so I vastly prefer the disorganized glitter that some shapes have. It's all personal taste, which brings me back to my first point, ask her what she wants.
