So I'm proceeding to set my marquise. As much as I love seeing all the vintage settings, I know from personal past experiences that its just not me. I like my jewelry to have a lot of simplicity, and a lot of gold
I need advise about the color of metal I should go with.
Yellow gold pros:
1.It feels very throwback 80s, but in the best way.
2.I eventually want to get a Tiffany twist, and it would match that, not too much metal mixing
Cons:
1. I'm not sure if its the most flattering color for my stone
2. It'll be more expensive as itl be 18k
Rose gold pros:
1. 14k will be more affordable
2. I think it might flatter my stone better
Cons:
1. Is it too trendy
2. I'm afraid of getting too many mixed metals going on
The other question is which looks best with my skin tone.
I've attached some photos of my setting idea, the stone next to some colors, and the metal color on my hand. Keep in mind I will have the head in unplated 14k white, so that's decided already.
