I need help!! My new center stone needs a home, but I can't decide! Ok, so here we are 2 years after my FI and I met, and he surprised me with an upgrade on my center stone on our 2 year anniversary. I originally had a 1.53ct. cushion cut in a diamond halo with a diamond band (top ring in picture with 2 rings on). Well, the diamonds kept falling out of the band and I've only had the ring less than a year (there is still one missing in the picture above), we're talking 12 stones replaced in 6 months. The store agreed to (after a huge run around) credit us back the original purchase price of the setting, saying that they hadn't ever had the ring made in my size as they should have, they only re-sized it from the beginning and that is what caused the detoriation of all of the mini prongs and the loosing of all the diamonds...
Well, after searching long and hard, on here mostly, I came up with a custom setting that was perfect for my 1.53 and wouldn't add too it.. but more compliment it (the halo always stuck out like a sore thumb on my first one, i thought...) Anyway, it's taken almost 6 months for communication and just a drawing to be done between me and the jeweler (we used a local commercialized jewelry store) and I was at my wits end.
My fiance took me yesterday because the drawing was finally done, and instead of viewing the drawing, we were actually there to view a couple diamond options for the upgrade that he was surprising me with!!!!! He and the woman we were working with at the store were trying to find the perfect new stone (my old one had a carbon dot right on the top in the line of sight) and it wasn't ever the setting that was taking so long, I about had a break down in the store. I had been so frustrated, not knowing why this process waas taking so long, when all along he had this plan and he had them stall until they could find the right stone or couple stones so i could pick my final new upgrade....so.. after picking out my new center stone...2.53ct cushion cut!! I realized that the new setting im wanting (that I've waited 6 months for lol) might be too much. I was looking at a sort of "bloom" halo, more under the center stone and not surrounding it.. but now I love love my center stone so much that I think I want something more simple... no halo... Either wat, now, I need your help!! I want a setting to compliment my new stone... something dainty so the emphasis is on the stone and not the setting, but I dont' just want a plain ol band...Also, my new setting was going to be rose gold (from the diamonds you can tell I like to have that hint of color in my diamond, but again, now maybe I should stick with white gold and a rose gold wedding band?! OOHHHHHH.... what's a girl to do lol -- I just can't decide and I have to choose by monday so that I can have my new set by Christmas - PLEASE any suggestions you'd have would be wonderful.. I'll post some pics.. and I'd love to see what your thoughts are! Thank you in advance!!!

The "dressy" setting you sent me, wow!! It's definitely gorgeous... but since I already had that halo and thought it was too gaudy, I think this time Im looking for more of a simple softer look...like the first example!
