Hi guys,
Just discovered the forum, what a great resource! Anyway I'm buying an engagement ring, and unfortunately there is also somewhat of a time contraint... we will be moving abroad soon, and I'd like to get things square with the ring prior to the move. She likes emerald cut, solitaire without lots of tiny diamond ornimentations around the ring, and she's been dropping hints that she's a big fan of Tacori. So I've come up with this setting:

Now, on to the diamond. After days-weeks of research, I've narrowed it down to these, would LOVE your opinions...

I'm leaning toward the 1st. I've heard about the table/depth optimal numbers for emerald cuts, and please correct if I'm wrong, but you want the depth <65 if possible, and the table around 65, thus optimizing "brilliance". They are around the same price, and I do not want to spend any more then these. Please let me know your thoughts.
ALSO, what are your opinions of an emerald cut 1:1.6 on the setting I chose? I wish I could create a virtual ring to see how it might look, but I guess I just have to jump in and hope for the best.
Thanks again everyone!
Ben
