Hi all.
This is my first foray into CS (although I'm a long-time lurker and admirer). I was hoping that you all might be able to lend me your advice and opinions regarding my project with Daniel M & Caren regarding a peridot pendant gift for my wife (to celebrate our son's upcoming first birthday in August, hence the peridot).
I am trying to decide whether to source one of my own stones (I've posted two potential ebay stones below) and have them set it in a simple 4-prong setting, or to go with one of their stock bezel sliding argentium diamond halo pendants, with a 6mm round peridot that Dan & Cara could select for me (pictured below):

Below are two simple sample 4-prong settings for the stones I could source myself:


Finally, below are the two ebay stones that I like, but I am totally open to any other suggestions
