Hi there all,

Thanks for being SO HELPFUL thus far in my search for the perfect OEC. I think I'm almost there, and want to think settings. I'm going to have Erica at JBEG make the setting for me, because I like the idea of a one-stop shop and not shipping the stone around. Plus, I like their settings :D

I've taken so much inspiration from Pricescopers' rings - which I hope is ok - and wanted to show a couple of my favorites to get at what I'm going for. I'd like to do a solitaire with split claw prongs in 18k rose gold, but I don't know just how simple I want it to be. So essentially, the simplest, cleanest version would be a play on the much loved (for obvious reasons) ksmom LM ring:

I also am completely and totally in love with valmanin's OWD setting, which I would do in rose gold and set a little lower:

And then finally, there are some JBEG settings I could combine. The cathedral of the Jen:

with the split claw prongs and pave band of the Kathryn:

Whew. A couple questions: any reason to go for one over the others, other than preference? My diamond will be a GIA J - is this going to be ok in rose gold, or will it look more tinted? Any other thoughts or suggestions? Thanks! And so much excitement for this continuing journey.
 
So you don't have to click links, here are pictures of the JBEG Jen:

You can't go wrong with any of these gorgeous settings!!
I love the Kathryn, but it's probably more vulnerable for everyday wear. I have a weak spot for ksmom's ring as well.
