I am having been wanting to get a ring for awhile, but with a heavy work schedule I am restricted on available time to make this important purchase. She deserves the best and I hope you can help me. She was very firm that she wants a princess cut and platinum setting. She also hinted that she did not want bagettes, but a plain solitaire setting is not her style either. She has not said so, but I think brilliance and clarity will be very important to her.

I have included a possible setting from Whiteflash and a diamond from Blue Nile. Please let me know if I am on the right track or going in the wrong direction.

I appreciate any and all comments or suggestions.

Don't want baguettes but no plain solitaire, either.
To me, that sounds like she wants some sidestones.  Or else, she would have said she doesn't want sidestones.

I like the combination a lot (especially with the princess stones that Julie selected...the AGS 1s)! I think it's a good choice.

Wanted to point out a similar setting at BN: http://www.bluenile.com/product_details.asp?oid=4124&page=1&col=2&row=5&pos=14&set_shape=

Whoops, I see she wants platinum.

Thank you the feedback, I will certainly check these out. I dont think she wants side diamonds either, I think the setting is what I want, but need to find the right diamond to make it special.
