Hi!
I'm looking for some advice selecting a diamond engagement ring. My girlfriend likes a relatively simple, vintagey style, in yellow gold, but with some detail to add interest. I really like this setting from Zales:

but I'm not thrilled about the stone quality, I'm doubtful about the certification, and I know their reputation for quality here on PS isn't great. So I'm considering purchasing just the setting and then finding a loose diamond to fit. Is that common? Are there considerations other than the size of the diamond?
Alternatively, can someone help me find a similar style of setting somewhere else?
Thanks!
