hey all
first time poster and looking for some advice. i am in south korea and doing some online shopping for my ring because the rings over here are either way too pricey or of a dodgy quality. anyway, i am looking to spend around 2 to 2.5 grand on an engagement ring and wanted to design my ring on a reliable website. i like the look of adding some blue sapphires to the setting as well.
in any event, i am going to throw a few different designs from different companies up here. i have read a lot about choosing a diamond and checked some feedback on some of the online vendors, but am looking to see what other advice (or vendor options) that others with more experience might have for me.
i will do everything online so i want this to be as smooth as possible.
the first setting is from union. i thought it was a bit spendy for the setting.

the second is from blue nile and is the one i am leaning towards.

and the last is from tom shane. i have read some negative feedback on this place but i did like their online set-up.

i should mention that my girlfriends hands are tiny (bout 4.5) and that she doesnt want a big rock. i will probably choose around .67 for my diamond and i have done some research in terms of the 4 c''s. i hope its ok to post the links here. just looking for some feedback on which one people think is the best design, price, and vendor and if any one has any other places they might recommend.
