Need advice for 1.3K Russian Demantoid (Pear)

I would like to have it put into a platinum pendant setting, but stuller has so many pendant settings that I am having a hard time deciding. http://www.stuller.com/products/listing.aspx?cid=6434b6c5-d3ea-4418-a3b3-3940e7a0bdc2 What would you recommend? My g/f is 5 ft tall, so I want the chain and setting to be as "small", simple, and inconspicuous as possible to show off the stone, if that makes sense. I was leaning toward the "Pear Bezel Necklace Center". Since it is pear-shaped, I assume flipping would not be a problem with this setting. IS there any advantage to a "slide" pendant? Any help is appreciated, and sorry for all the questions. Thanks!

I think that you have made a safe choice with the pendant setting you have chosen. At the same time, I must agree that this is a good time to ask her, "Honey? How would you want to have this set?" I myself am 5'2" inches tall, but that doesn't mean that I want every piece of jewelry I own to be as petite as I am. She might want to wear it to work every day nestled just below her collarbone, or she may want to have the stone on a longer chain to show off on special occasions. If you ask, you're guaranteed to make her happy twice - when you show how thoughtful you are of what she might want, and when she gets the final jewel. If you are at a point when you'd like it to be a less expensive setting option, you can mention that, and it's OK. I've got a pear shaped stone that I am planning on having set in this "rub over" setting: http://eurofindings.com/ProductCollets.asp?PrdID=6294 I saw a pear-shaped sapphire of about the same size as your green garnet in this setting at a local jeweler, topped off with a .25 ct bezel set diamond, and I thought it looked very good - clean and classic. So many pear settings are fussy.
