I just purchased a diamond with these specs:
SHAPE: Round
CARAT WEIGHT: 1.51
COLOR: K
CLARITY: VS1
CUT: Excellent
POLISH: Excellent
SYMMETRY: Excellent
FLUORESCENCE: None
L/W/D (MM): 7.52*7.48*4.50
L/W RATIO: 1.01
DEPTH %: 60.10
GIRDLE: Thin
TABLE %: 56.00
CULET: None
CERTIFICATE: GIA
CROWN ∠: 33.00
CROWN %: 14.50
PAVILION ∠: 40.80
PAVILION %: 43.00
I am going to be putting the diamond in a white gold setting with side "i color" diamonds. I have 3 questions:
1) Because the diamond will have a faint yellow color, I remember reading somewhere that with WG or Platinum prongs, the diamond will reflect that color, in turn hindering the faint yellow color. If that theory holds true, does anyone know what type of head would work best, white gold or Platinum?
2) Would a 6 prong work better than a 4 prong? My assumption is that it would hide the side view of it a little more and make it reflect more of the white gold color.
3) The sales person told me a 6 prong head will make the diamond appear more round and bigger, is this true? If so, would that take away from the brilliance and fire of the stone?
Thanks
