I just wanted to post a quick thanks to neatfreak, Lorelei, and everyone else who has helped me here.
Finally, after months of looking and debating, I purchased a custom ring from WF. It''s a 3-stone setting based on this setting from Jareds. However, two stones in the pave (on each side) will be sapphires (1st and 3rd). I did lower the size of the center diamond (a little bit [.62 to .55]) in order to keep the total cost under $3k. I ended up with this center diamond.
Once I receive the CAD drawings, I''ll be sure to post them here.
