I am constantly changing my mind about what I want to do for my new setting. I have a lot invested in two tone (watch, bracelets and a ton of David Yurman). Would you think it would look odd to have the split shank done in yellow gold and the top in platinum/white gold? What's your thoughts. I am going to visit a local custom designer on Tuesday and have to have SOME idea of what I am going to do. Although it is just an initial visit.

DiamondLil Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,405 Last Post: 6/1/2006 Member Since: 6/8/2003	I recently went through the same dilemma. I have a split-shank pave pear. Most of my jewelry is 2-tone with some pieces of yellow gold. I had no jewelery in all white metal. I went round and round trying to decide what to do. I love the pave look, but I'm not crazy about pave in yellow gold. I really wanted a split-shank with a halo and could not find anything I liked better for my pear. In the end, I went with a platinum setting and added a touch of yellow gold in the gallery as an accent. The yellow gold gallery is not obvious to the casual observer, but it added just enough yellow gold for my own 2-tone satisfaction.

You have a lot of options. DiamondLil ________________ "Diamonds are nothing more than chunks of coal that stuck to their jobs."

DiamondLil Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,405 Last Post: 6/1/2006 Member Since: 6/8/2003	Here is one with the yellow on the band and white on the halo. Sorry, it's for a rectangular stone and only a single shank, but I think you can imagine it. Can you tell I have a ton of these type pictures saved? I had the hardest time deciding what to do. I've got quite a few more if you need more options. DiamondLil ________________ "Diamonds are nothing more than chunks of coal that stuck to their jobs."

I do love your idea of putting the gold in the gallery. Hmmm..something to think about. At least I have some great pictures to take to the jeweler. Thank you so much for all of your posts! I appreciate it.

jewelryaddict Rough Rock Total Posts: 82 Last Post: 10/10/2005 Member Since: 5/13/2005	I've had a two tone for several years and thought I might want to go pure white gold. But then I started wearing it again knowing that it's days were numbered (at least as an engagement ring). I was amazed at how much that little touch of yellow gold made the sparkle of the diamond pop. I don't wear enough yellow gold to warrent a complete yellow gold ring, nor do I have the skin tone for it. Just a little yellow seems to look nice. I'm so excited to go talk to the jeweler now! Thanks everyone! I'll let you know what she says when I get back Tuesday night.

Unfortunately I don't think I am going to go with this jeweler. She was sort of ADD and couldn't really capture one idea without pulling tons of books out and going from one setting to the next without really listening to what I was saying. She must have shown me 20-25 settings in books. Some were similar to what I was talking about and others were her "opinion" of what would look good on my hand. I just got the feeling that she wouldn't listen to me when it came time to really sit down and design a ring. I'll keep you posted on my hunt.
