What a gorgeous diamond! Steven Kirsch could do a beautiful setting for you.
Show Me Your Steven Kirsch beauties
I could not find a thread that consolidated all of Steven's work, and it's so hard to recommend him without a thread that pulls it all together. So PSer's, please help fill in this thread... https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/steven-kirsch-glacier-ring-with-pictures.225977/...

Beautiful! What about a double halo, one with fancy yellow diamonds and one with white diamonds? That would be awesome!

WOW - that stone is a real whopper! She will be THRILLED!
I may be in the minority here, but since the color is so saturated I think it could pull off a bigger (think Princess Diana/Kate Middleton) sized halo.
In my experience those settings are real attention grabbers, and (IMHO) work well when the center stone has enough color that it doesn’t come off as a cluster ring.
I would do one that included some pears in the halo to play off the shape of that epic center stone.
I’ll attach 2 examples, for each one I’ve included 2 images of the original followed by a marked up (very crudely - I’m in the car.) In both cases I’d do platinum with 18k yellow prongs on the center. Not sure who made either of these, just designs I saved images of.

Congrats on picking a stunner of a stone! There are so many possibilities for this stone to show her off.
What's your GF's style like? Does she have "style icons" that she takes inspiration from? Classic and sleek? Glitzy? Feminine? Romantic and soft? Playful and fun? Modern and Edgy?
ETA: I would choose the classic HW tapered baguettes. The pave split shank without halo is really speaking to me too, and normally split shanks aren't my thing!
If she has more of a feminine and romantic vibe:
Halo with a tiny border of gold from the 18kt basket!
Solitaire with skinny pave band
Split shank pavé solitaire or with a halo
If she has a classic and sleek style:
Harry Winston style tapered baguette all the way! (But make it a pear)
Or other side stone shapes (pear or trillion)
Playful and fun, unique, and a not afraid to stand out:
The Harry Winston pear cluster had always looked beautiful to me
If she's modern and edgy, a trend-setter, and bold:
Asymmetric rings:
Shahla Karimi "eye ring"
Shahla Karimi "V ring" with pave
Scarlett Johansson x Colin Jost
(By Taffin)
Toi et moi style:
Emily Ratajkowski
Meghan Fox x MGK
Two separate rings that connect with a magnet
Shahla Karimi Gap Band

What is her finger size? That's a good sized stone so finger size may help determine how it is set. Also, is it something she will wear every day? If so, how much does she use her hands? All of these may impact what you choose?

If you want something that’s a little different… Not sure how it would look with your diamond since it’s a fancy vivid yellow, not an alphabet yellow.
