I am not great at this either but I do know the PS theory is always that a visible difference in diamond size is 0.2 mm. Your pave band tapers by 0.1 mm per stone. And with your petite finger size you may not see any appreciable taper when looking at your hand. I would ask DK to taper more aggressively (2.4, 2.2, 2, 1.8...) or even more if you want the taper to be really visible. Ask him for a couple of versions. Also if you have the diamond girdles on the shared prong pave exposed they will act as a serrated knife to the band worn adjacent. This was discussed at length. But this is not the case if you do channel bead prong set stones (like the JA examples @tyty333 proposed). If you like that look (which could pair well with your TGP inspired elements on the side) you would solve your spacer problem. With respect to inspiration versus copy cat: DK may have put the shank bar under your center stone to avoid true plagiarism. You can ask him to remove it to really copy the inspiration, but I would leave it and keep the rosies tiny. That is the best part of the CAD! Also IMO single prongs would look more fluid on this piece. I prefer double prongs in vintage or much more simplistic designs but the choice is your of course! Have fun and congratulations on your engagement.
Note: edited to say the first side stone is 2.7 mm, then 2.4 mm, then the 0.1 taper starts. I do not have the experience to know if this taper will achieve your goal aesthetic but now is the time to get that right!
