Good afternoon, all you lovely PS'ers!
So I have a follow-up question regarding an engagement ring I'm helping plan for my SIL. We live in Dallas, and have hit up multiple locations you all recommended (so many thanks!). For our most recent outing she decided she really wanted a twist pattern on the ring (called infinity?). She said she liked a halo, but if it ended up without one she would invest in a wedding ring later.
We're looking at well-cut to ideal diamonds K-L-M color. Two questions:
1) Would a halo with whiter melee stones look weird up against, say a K or M stone? Would it work with warmer, I-J stones?
2) Is 14k or 18k unplated WG a good option for warm diamonds?? She's not crazy about plated WG or 14k YG (the only thing she's seen in stores), and loves the barely yellow color of my 10k YG college ring. I never thought of unplated WG until today! @yssie has posted about different alloys and I'm trying to understand, has anyone had luck with unplated WG with warm MRB?
I attached 2 pictures of rings she seemed to like, before I contacted vendors like David Klass I wanted to ask the experts. And btw, these are the types of diamonds we've looked at in person, and would pursue with the ideal vendors:
