Hello Pricescope!

I've been lurking around for a few months and learning so much - it's been a nerve-racking but rewarding experience. I set out to find an e-ring for a $6000 budget and noticed a large price break at .9 and 1c. Then I regularly checked some of the recommended vendors and recently I found the following .894c signature diamond from BGD:

It looks gorgeous to my untrained eye and when I inquired about the inclusions I was told there was a darker colored crystal but no matter how closely I look at the magnified 360 view I can't find it myself. I was hoping to get some input and feedback on the idealoscope and diamond itself.

Two similar diamonds also just came instock as well but I can clearly see the inclusions on magnification alone and the expert at BGD also agrees the one I have reserved is the best of the bunch.

I'm also seeking recommendations on settings at BGD. I'm open to solitaire and pave but leaning more towards the solitaire, so if people could weigh in on the 6 prong tiffany replica half round, tapered half round, and knife-edge I would greatly appreciate it!
 
I agree. The stone you have on hold is gorgeous and budget friendly!!

I think you've got the best balance of value right there in the H color eyeclean Si1 at 6.1mm in spread.

Nice job!

How are you going to set it?
 
Thanks Gypsy!

The inclusion I can definitely see on magnification is the feather between the 9 o'clock and 10:30 arrows and I was hoping that I may be able to conceal a good amount of it with a prong. My girlfriend has expressed interest in either a Solitaire or a Pave but I'm leaning towards one of the 6 prong Tiffany's replica solitaires from BGD. She's not currently a ring wearer and I wanted to make sure she had a timeless comfortable ring that she could wear on a daily basis and with a future wedding band too if she wants. Do you have any recommendations between the three they offer?

Edit: her ring size is 4.25 if that helps!
 
Have you asked if that feather needs to be hidden? It may not need to be hidden.

As for settings. I think the 6 prongs are very timeless but I don't tend to love them on stones that are at or under a carat, personally. I feel that there's too much prong. If you don't mind I'll post a couple others for your consideration.

These are some 4 prong settings that you might like to consider that would set off that center stone nicely:
