opinions on 2 stones, & 3 settings

[Somethingelse]

Trying to get opinions on 2 stones and 3 settings i'm currently looking at.

This stone http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/9193/

with either of these 2 settings

or this stone http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-2763629.htm

with this setting, http://www.whiteflash.com/engagement-rings/diamond-settings/park-avenue-diamond-engagement-ring-1669.htm
just with a squared off halo, similar to this http://www.whiteflash.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/guinevere-solitaire-engagement-ring-180.htm

this would be a custom setting, downfall being I wouldn't be able to return it if it didn't come out the way I like.
i could always set it in the other gabriels as well.

I'm hoping to get some feedback, especially on the stones, and differences between them. They all would come out to just about the same price. If i went with the white flash diamond, a little more.

I think both stones and all 4 settings are great! can't go wrong

All of your choices are beautiful but I think I prefer the WF setting, so I would go with them. You really can't go wrong though!

I like the WF combination the best.

I do not like the first gaberial setting at all. Its got s a whimpy bend in the shank. Its not straight enough to look
good and not bent enough to have a nice curvature.

Well time is soon approaching to making the purchase. I'm visiting her parents tomorrow to talk about it!

I have it narrowed down to 2 of the settings now
both would be set with a ~.92 carat round stone

either http://www.gabrielengaged.com/style/ER7487W44JJ
with the diamond set a little lower

or http://www.whiteflash.com/engagement-rings/diamond-settings/park-avenue-diamond-engagement-ring-1669.htm
with a squared off halo instead like http://www.whiteflash.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/guinevere-solitaire-engagement-ring-180.htm

would love to hear any other opinions!

I prefer the WF setting because a wedding band would look better with it. I prefer split shank halos that are actually split shank. I don't really care for the strange spaces in the Gabriel setting...it looks more like a RHR to be worn alone rather than an ER that will eventually be worn with a band.

I dont like that gabriel because of the "wimpy" curve in the shank. I'm not big on th park avenue due to the type of pave. It is
just very choppy, there is lots of it, and it really distracts from the main stone. Look at the picture with the girl wearing it.
I like the guinevere. Maybe you could add bead set pave to the band and change the gallery so the head attaches a little
differently.

I would pick the GOG stone because it has a larger spread for the money with one of the following settings
