Now that I have (probably) found my perfect diamond (see https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/buying-my-first-diamond.242104/), it's time for the next step > the setting! :)
(The ring will be custom made by my jeweller here in Australia.)

This is the diamond: mixed/radiant cut, 1.09ct/J/VVS1/XX/XX/NF/6.53*5.40 :kiss2:

These are some of my inspiration rings. I keep finding rings with a halo though but mine won't have a halo, so inspiration needed please :oops: most photos are of a top view but I would love to see the side view, thank you!

While I really like this, I don't think I'd be comfortable with the diamond being so "bare"? Like I would be scared of it falling out..

Which is why I think this Tiffany setting is "safer":

I really want a sapphire (one on each side) in the ring too, like this (with a halo though :(2):

Cathedral setting (Tiffany setting in a V) with the sapphires will be something like this (don't mind my Paint skills..):

The band will have 0.5ct tw, I'm thinking something like this:

I haven't figured the right prongs and amount of diamonds on each side out yet. I'd like the wedding band to be matching too and have read about being aware of bands damaging the prongs. Suggestions welcome!

These are all with EC’s as the center to get the rectangular look:

A different idea for the sapphire:

I’m assuming your jeweler will be able to incorporate the sapphires into each of these designs, based upon the inspiration you choose.
The size of the pave/melee can be adjusted to meet your expectations. Just consider the width of your shank before you choose your pave/melee.
If you plan to wear a WR, I’d strongly advise against a three sided pave shank for either ring.

You've gotta look at rings set with similar shape diamonds. You can look up rings with radiants and emerald cuts to find ideas.

Thanks for the links :) I have done many Google searches but most photos have a top view while I'm looking for the design of the side and band. I have just found this one through your link though: https://www.angelicdiamonds.com/rad...te-gold-solitaire-with-side-stones-reina.html
 
Oooh I like the hidden sapphire one :D are there more angles?

If you go to Pinterest, and search for “diamond engagement rings with hidden sapphires”, you’ll see a ton of options, and inspiration photos!!

The size of the pave/melee can be adjusted to meet your expectations. Just consider the width of your shank before you choose your pave/melee.

I like this band but I'm not sure if it looks funny to have round side diamonds while my centre diamond is rectangle? I also haven't decided on the width yet, but I do want the wedding band to be the same. I think I'll wait for the diamond to come in before deciding :)
