Help decide 6.5ct light yellow or 5ct fancy light yellow?

[joelly]

I guess I am happy with the price I paid! After all, there is not a huge difference on color. Some don’t consider fancy light as fancy yellow as well.

Imho, the radiant has better color than the cushion. You made the right decision by keeping the radiant. Can we talk setting now? I’m looking forward to see how you set this to-die-for stone

Which one loooks better to your eyes when moving? That's how I'd choose. I was originally wanted an m-z stone and but found a fancy light eventually...face up color looks the same imho the only added value may be in an eventual resale

I didn’t see the cushion in person, and from judging from the photos, I like the radiant better. David told me the cut is better on the radiant as well. I don’t think I will resale. I had never sold my jewelery, maybe upgrade in the future.

Honestly I need to stop coming here for a while after I set this Diamond.

I am not sure if I want the gold enhancer yet.

That setting is really pretty. I bet dbl could tell you if the cup will deepen the color or not. What i didn't explain well above is i thought i would get a deeper color or something with the official fancy light designation but that didn't turn out to be the case really, it's a subtle difference. So I'd probably take the bigger, better cut stone in this case enjoy!

Your ring is really unique! I am looking for something unique for this radiant as well. The setting I see from DBL is very pretty and it will be very versatile, but I feel that it’s not uncommon, I kinda want something more special.So I am still searching to make sure I make a good decision.

I have a secret weakness for the pink lemonade settings, like this one: http://www.diamondsbylauren.com/index.php/jewelry/502ct-yellow-si2-radiant-diamond-ring-r7788

What about something like this?

I don’t want the yellow melee and I would like the band to be plain platinum or 18k gold.

Do you think is too much to wear for everyday?

 

[diamondnewbieny]

The key to this for me is your statement that you "like" the radiant and are unsure about whether you should switch to the cushion. That tells me you don't LOVE the radiant. Please don't keep a stone you don't love. You'll know when you find one that you love. It doesn't matter if radiants are harder to find. That may be because honestly, radiants aren't all that favored at least on PS. (I know David loves them.)

Of those two, I'd take the cushion any day. But I'd personally prefer an antique cut light yellow stone, and I have a couple but neither are fancy. I think the setting choice would have a lot to do with the shape of the stone you end up choosing.

Here's a gorgeous 5 ct yellow cushion owned by @grateful4life and setting by CVB Inspired Design:

Omg this is gorgeous! I love her ring, but for my style the vintage look is not for me. I did find something similar and probably modify it.

The one you post is drop dead gorgeous!!!!!

Do you think I should tell them to keep the yellow meelee or I can do ok without it?

Also I want the band to be yellow gold so I don’t have to worry about the plating coming off. In addition I don’t want the band to have any Pavé, just plain band. I feel the Pavé would be too much for this style. I want the main stone and halo stand out, not the band.

My vision of how the setting should look. Anyone can help me with how it should look like?

Do without the yellow melee. Let the radiant be the star of the setting. I love your idea of no pave, just plain band.

Perfect in my humble opinion.

That's a beautiful setting, but what are the dimensions of the radiant? Because I think the large halo works well with a smaller, deeper cut stone like a cushion, but I definitely think a large halo is more of a cocktail ring and not an everyday ring.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I'm just going to show you a couple of my favorite settings for a stone that is radiant or emerald cut shape. This one is by Caysie of CVB Inspired Design. I have a few rings made by her and her pieces are more unique and very well made.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Victor Canera is the master of the classic micropave halo, and I'd recommend this over a large diamond halo on a radiant. Here's a large emerald cut sapphire ring that he set. This one happens to be a double halo, but I agree that I'd just do the white diamond halo.

I am selling one of my beautiful ring to support this project. Please share if you find anyone looking into something similar.

I am broke after buying this 6.5ct diamond.
