I have been looking for a setting for a ruby I got from Gene. It is a 0.7ct, 4.8mm cushion. This stone deserves a fabulous setting, but I am getting another stone pretty soon and I need to save for my 2010 or 2011 project. So, I decided to get an inexpensive setting for now, and upgrade it in the future. I want this stone on my finger!
I narrowed down to 3 LoGR alternatives:

I am afraid that the prongs will overwhelm the small melee in #2, but it has my favourite profile. #1 is daintier. Any of them will have to be customized to fit my stone, but I want to keep it minimal to avoid higher fees.
What do PSers think?
