First, I want to thank everyone on this forum for their help and advice. My adjusted LOGR 8mm Legacyesque setting arrived earlier in the week and I love it. I upgraded the diamonds to full cut VS and the metal to 18K and it looks beautiful. I would never have known about LOGR if it weren't for this forum so I really appreciate it!
I have it set with their stock citrine. I did this because I wanted a ring to wear while I was searching for the perfect gemstone. The citrine looks OK, but I am longing for a spessartite.
Thanks to all your recommendations, I've been searching the net. What do you guys think of this one from Swala?

It is so hard to tell color online. I'm afraid it might be too brown?
Actually, this is my favorite (vivid color) but it is on the very high end of the budget:

Also, do you think option # 1 will fit into the LOGR 8 mm setting? This is my first time creating a ring on my own and I know that this is an extremely stupid question (so bear with me) but I am getting confused on gemstone sizing, as I'm used to diamonds and carats. My current LOGR is an 8mm and has a 2 carat stone. Option # 1 is 3.54 carats and 8 x 8 x 5.9 mm? Option # 2 is 3.8 carats and doesn't have mm dimensions listed?
