Three Stone Design Question....which one do I chose?

[rocksjust4me]

I am in the process of building a three stone ring to wear as a RHR. I am torn between designs, even though it is a RHR and not an engagement ring, I still would like the center stone to sit up just a little higher because I do not like the straight line look or stones appearing at all the same height (if that makes sense).

I am looking at the BG Truth x3 (I love the profile view) http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/engagement-rings/three-stone/truth-x-3-18k-white-gold-5450w18

and the BG Open Gallery. http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/engagement-rings/open-gallery-accented-18k-white-gold-5448w18

The uploaded image is from a local jeweler and I really like it but you have to buy it with the preset side stones and I already have all three stones. Have you seen a setting like the picture below? How long do BG custom orders take?

My stones will be Center: 1.33 center and .50 sides. What do you think?

Thank you!

What a fun project rocksjust4me. Call BG up and they will be able to answer all your questions.
A 1.33 w/ .50 sides will be lovely.

What an exciting project! 2.3 ctw will make substantial presentation for a right-hand ring. I prefer the second setting you've chosen. It has more of an "integrated" look, whereas with the first ring, the setting for the center stone looks almost like a peg head.

I vote for the Truth - I've seen handshots and close ups on PS and it's very nice.

I don't like that you have to go with the pre-selected side stones. Those stones are 2/3 of your ring! What if they are not nice performers? Would much rather be able to pick them myself.

What a fun project! I think they would all be nice but I really like the truth setting. I would also want to pick all of my own diamonds. I will watch for your finished project.
