Hi!
After upgrading my ER this past spring, I am trying to figure out a right hand ring setting for my old 2.3ct MRB (Color I, ~8.5mm, GIAxxx) that doesn’t look super engagement like. For reference, I probably wear a 6 ¾ on my right hand and my ER is a 3.25ct. 3 stone with pear side stones.
Right now, here are a few options I am considering (pictures at the end of this long post):
3 stone ring with ~1.4-1.5ctw. side stones (.7-.75 ct. each) – that is a 3:1 ratio right?
Double “cushion” Halo with a Split Shank – inner halo in yellow diamonds

I would love your opinions on these!! I am open to other ideas too!! Thanks!
Bad photo, but this is the proportions I was thinking about. I used 1.43 ctw diamond studs in the picture, unfortunately the color and cut won't work, otherwise it would probably be a no brainer!

- Pros – seems traditional for an RHR, Cons – my ER is a 3 stone!
Thoughts on proportions?
What vendor would you suggest for sourcing the sidestones and making the setting?
Double “cushion” Halo with a Split Shank – inner halo in yellow diamonds
- Pros – I really want a halo ring and I love the Tiffany Soleste w/ a yellow diamond
Cons – I have only been able to find a few pictures of something similar on-line, so not sure if it would look good...
Do you think it worth it to use SK or VC for a RHR? Otherwise, maybe ERD? Others?
Can you use white gold instead of yellow gold for the yellow stones? I don’t want the yellow to be overpowering.

- Pros: Love the basket, unique Cons: For almost $4K, not sure I will “love” it and its not really a ton cheaper than my other options
