Looking for some diamond recommendations

I was hoping to get recommendations on diamonds for an e ring.
I'd like to find a round that sparkles like a Hearts on Fire with a little less price tag.
She has pointed out all halo settings she liked but then came across a Tiffany Bezel solitaire that is at the top of her list so I'm looking at going that route (http://www.tiffany.com/Engagement/Item.aspx?GroupSKU=GRP10046#f+0/0/0/0/4006/4006). I like it since the diamond is well protected.

Something an H or I color that is eye clean with hopefully a 6.7mm or greater spread.
I'd like to spend no more than 10K on the entire project and expect the setting to be about 2k.

I've gotten some ideas by calling BGD already but wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything else.
Also, any recommendations for or against the BGD Blue line (it seems that a lot of their images look very similar)?

Thoughts :)
 
BGD is a good place to start. Have you called some other vendors and looked at their websites to compare? You might try Whiteflash or Good Old Gold. They all have great pictures of their diamonds as well as ASET images and other tools to help you make an informed decision. James Allen may also be worth contacting. Good luck with your search!

Thanks for the suggestions for comparison :)

I now have a stone on hold at BGD and should be getting some images of it this week.
I'm hoping it doesn't show any negative attributes and will work out. If not I'll be after some more feedback.
I'm going to go with the BGD Full Bezel if everything works out (http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/full-bezel-euro-platinum-5716p) which I think looks similar to the whiteflash and tiffany settings posted.
Its nice that I don't have to worry about a lot of tiny diamonds to lose like on the Halo's she was picking out.
