Hi everyone
I am researching e-rings online to give my boyfriend a couple of my favourites to choose from.
Budget wise we are looking to spend no more than high $5000's including diamond and setting.
This will mean under 1 carot centre diamond. I have long fingers so I have been looking at different halo options to make the diamond appear bigger. Lately I've been going off the halo look though in favour of a more classic setting with some point of interest - I like the halo style now, but I worry it doesn't really suit me and I might not like it in a year, 5 years time etc.
Below are several designs I really like.

Also whiteflash's "Harmony" and "Elena" styles (the site wont load for me at the moment so I can't attach the links).
The ring photos all look stunning, but you can tell the centre diamonds are a decent size. I worry they wont look that great with a smaller diamond.
I would appreciate any advice on what of those rings might look best with a centre diamond under 1 carot. I don't want the centre diamond to get lost, but at the same time I want the setting to stand out too. I like the split shank style, but not sure if it's best with a smaller diamond (without a halo to support it).
In terms of centre diamond, from preliminary search it seems in my price range (upper limit mid $3000's) I can get a H colour, VS2 - SI1, very good - excellent cut, 0.8 - 0.9 carot.
Am i better off focusing on the cut and clarity?
Many thanks for your assistance
