Hello,
First, thank you. I have spent months reading (obsessing over) this site and found it so extremely helpful. Thank you for the help thus far and the particular help you will give me!
A little background. My partner is absolutely incredible - smart, hilarious, down to earth, very active, not flashy in the slightest. She has never really been the type to dream about a diamond or engagement ring, so after I learned enough to be dangerous on this site, we went to Tiffany to get some ideas and learn her ring size. She fell in love with the Tiffany Harmony - both the 4 prongs, how it is set (lower), and how it feels on her finger.
She would like a 1.3-1.4 carat diamond (she felt 1.5 carats was too large), F/G color, VS2 or higher clarity. The budget is about 20,000, though I don't think I will use it all.
Here are the diamonds I am considering, any preferences:

The bigger question is the setting. My partner likes the low set nature and feel of the Harmony. She is active, runs, plays soccer, and travels a lot for work, so I think the way the diamond set was really important to her.
I've looked for replicas and I think the closest are:
http://www.whiteflash.com/engagement-rings/diamond-settings/flush-fit-diamond-engagement-ring-42.htm [seems much thicker than the Harmony]
https://leonmege.com/portfolio/custom-work/solitaires/ideal-cut-round-diamond-solitaire-engagement-ring-detail [hard to tell, but I think his work is beautiful]
https://www.victorcanera.com/rings/engagement/the-trueste-solitaire [the bars are "swinging" the wrong direction]
http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/melissa-platinum-5366p [seems set too high]
Is there an option I have missed that is closer to the Harmony? Do you believe the Harmony is something that could be replicated? Who would you recommend to replicate it?
Thank you so much for any and all recommendations. I have included a Harmony picture for reference.
