Please help me pick an eternity band with this ring.

Hi all! I posted this set on the tianyu thread. I'm going to have it made, but... I'm also falling for a few other eternity bands. The band will be emerald cut . The pic of the set is the original band. Also the 3 stone will have double claw prongs. I had planned a channel set band, but, I love the claw prongs band, too. I do want comfort.
It's so hard to choose! Also the 3 stone I'm thinking 9x7 and sides 7x5, band 2x4. Opinions on stone size is welcome too! I don't live close to places to try.

Maybe a better angle of this one. I guess this is a shared prong, the other is 4 prongs, and of course the channel one.

I love the shared prong version the best!

I think the shared prong is beautiful! I’ve learned that I prefer to wear channel set for comfort but love the look of shared prong. Can’t go wrong with any choice as they’re all pretty.

Like @eapj I think channel cut is probably more comfortable and less chance of snagging on things however if you find a good bench person they can make the prongs almost invisible and smooth so it won't catch on things. Also and I didn't see your prior posts in that other thread but IMO the most aesthetically pleasing bands are bands that match width and height dimensions of the ER shank/band. Not everyone feels that way however but just mentioning it for you to consider if you have not already considered it.

Thanks guys. I agree. I told Ella I like for the bands to match in width, etc. I love the shared prong too. My husband likes the 4 prong, because it would hold the stones and protect better.

I love the shared and 4 prong options!

Oh, can I get an opinion on size? I'm really a size 5, but with summer and winter my fingers go up and down. I have a set of two pave bands in a 5.25. They get loose and spin and drive me nuts, but at other times fit. Would you get a 5.25 or 5.5 since these are wider?
