Setting this 1 carat high!

I am looking for the kind of height seen here http://weddingband.com/couture4.html But with straight platinum prongs, no diamonds around the base ( I'd like some gold wrapped around the base). Any one know where i can look for something similar (with or without gold)? I am picking up the stone this weekend and need to finding this setting before New years eve!! Will a tall setting make a diamond appear larger?

Then to top it off in the winter when my hands were cold it would twist to one side and lay (looking stupid) against my other finger. I'm not saying this isn't the style for you just my experiences.

Because it is a solitaire, being set high really shows-off the diamond and makes it look a bit larger. It absolutely never gets caught on anything. I do tend to bang it against things every once and awhile but, its a platinum setting so, I'm not worried. I definitely recommend the high setting!
