She likes to keep it simple and told me she likes the following settings on Bluenile:

I was clicking back and forth between the two and noticed that you can't buy the settings alone, that you must buy a diamond from them as well. I am buying a .85ct loose diamond from a pricescope vendor so I guess Blue Nile won't let me buy just the setting from them... but we both REALLY love these two styles.
I then looked on Ashford.com and found similar settings (but they are a little narrower in width). I also noticed that the pictures do not show prongs in them. Do they come with prongs or are these tension settings? The ashford rep didn't know when I called, and she said someone would call me back... but I'm too anxious especially since they have 30% off.
SO, could some of you more knowledgeable types answer the following:
1) Do the ashford.com settings come with prongs even though they are not shown?
2) Which would a .85ct stone look better in? I want it to look as proportional as possible and am afraid that the one with baguettes might make the center stone look too small.
