Picked out a diamond, Help with Setting please!

Here are the specs of the princess cut Diamond I picked out. I'm now searching for a setting because bluenile is out of stock of the one I would like. I was wondering if this one from zales would look good? Does it matter that the color and specs of my diamond are better than the setting?

Or I was thinking about this setting?

Any other ideas???? Or would the specs of those settings look alright with my princess cut diamond? THANKS FOR ANY HELP!

Have you already bought the diamond? Because a very thick girdle usually means the stone may face up looking smaller than a well cut stone of the same weight. And you do not want the stone to look smaller than it should. Have you seen pictures of the stone?

NO. What about this diamond? Think this would be better? How about a setting?

No, you can get lower colored melee. BUT I wouldn't get it from either of those companies. Call ID Jewelery, ask for Yekutiel make sure to tell him you are a Pricescoper and see what he can find for you, in budget in the style you wanted. He'll be able to get you something nice.

I'd steer clear of zales and Kay

What ring size?

I'd consider buying this one and have a good local jeweler with an In House (on site) bench replace this head (it's a peg head and replaceable) with one that fits a 5mm diamond if it will fit her. It's a 6.25 and sizable (and sizing down is inexpensive).

In great shape, from Blue Nile and a GREAT price: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330691294261&ssPageName=ADME:X:eRTM:US:1123
