Will this setting take too much away from the diamond?

Good afternoon. I recently purchased an ACA .903 diamond from Whiteflash. The diamond is posted here:
http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-2982243.htm

The reasons going for this diamond were that i had a budget for the diamond of around $8000 and in that range, i could either go bigger (1 ct and reduce the cut, or stick with this one) I chose this one as my g/f isnt particular on having a 1 ct diamond. And all the posts I read, when its set, its pretty difficult to even notice the difference between .9 and 1. So I chose to go with a better cut than size. In doing so, I had a little extra money left over to go with a better setting. I have been eyeing this particular setting and keep going back to it...

Id like an opinion on if this setting would possibly take away from the actual diamond based on the diamond's size, of if you think the two will still look fine together. In blue nile's gallery, they only showcase diamonds above 1.5 carat in the setting, so i dont get a real good idea on if it will look fine or not...
Thank you!!
 
I think it would be lovely :)
 
I don't think that setting will be too much for a .9ct stone! It will be beautiful!
 
Thanks for your input! Was just worried having more carat diamond on the setting might take away from the stone. looks like the one ill go with! :)


anndddddd...no choice now. BlueNile restricts that setting to you have to purchase their diamond with the setting and cannot be purchased by itself. stupid BlueNile...
 
To be honest, in my eyes that setting makes that 1.5 stone look small. I don't know if its the larger pave prongs or what.
I still think its a pretty setting but I would want to see a pic with a stone closer to your size setting in it.
 
Beautiful I am envious...............................
