My partner prefers quality over quantity hence trying to aim for high clarity and sparkle

Im looking at the following for setting

I'd get the 1.023 G VS1

I like this Vatche "Swan" French Pave the best for setting. The other two is too big and bulky for me and I would pick 1.017 G VS2 for the bigger mm and smaller table.

Either of the G color 1 ct ACA's would be my choice. I don't see why anyone would choose any of the stones under a carat when you have 2 G ACA's over a carat!

To be honest, I do not like any of those settings. I think the Swan will not work well with a wedding band. This is my favorite WF solitaire setting:

I also like the Vatche Caroline.
