I''ve been researching for at least 4 months on pricescope and gleaming as much info as I can but I honestly need help! My BF is very close to buying a ring and has left the picking out to me. Everyday he asks me if I''ve found something I like better. I have 3 pages of notes and websites for him but I really need to narrow it down. He wants to stay under 4k which is still very generous but I''m struggling with how I should spend it. Due to my fear of b&m stores (thanks to pricescope) I haven''t tried anything on so I''m going by pictures I''ve seen here. A big factor for me is that I have very large hands and long fingers, even though I''m only 5 feet tall! I feel like I need ample finger coverage as to not get lost on my hands. I really love pave and halo rings and also love a split shank. I would prefer platinum but I know that it''s going to eat up a lot of my budget. If I spend most of my budget on the setting can I still get a decent diamond when most of the settings I''ve found ask for a minimum .75? Do I REALLY need platinum? If you were me how would you spend this budget? Here are a few ideas of what I like:

I would prefer to get the center stone/setting at the same place because if I don''t keep it simple for my sweet darling BF he might go crazy! Also if anyone has some real life pics of rings in this price range on my size-ish fingers I would love to see them! Thanks in advance for your help!
