Hello to everyone!

I am looking for some ideas for a simple and safe horizontal setting for a 1.25ct marquise brilliant cut stone.
I saw a DeBeers award winning modern style piece I liked few years ago, but lost the picture :)
I am looking for a very simple and comfortable to wear solitaire. Could be even very modern style.

Many thanks in advance!

This was custom made, but the design is pretty simple and any jeweler should be able to make it.

Marquise is 0.76, D, VS2, about 9.5 x 5mm on a size 3 finger.

eta: apologies for the scary scaley hand!!!

Here's a tension setting from James Allen. Knife edge? Comfortable?
