A difficult choice... Green diamond in it Platinum or rose gold?

[colordiamondfreak]

So I bought a Fancy Grayish Yellowish Green. I've not received it yet but I am daydreaming about it. Are there professional Jewelers or collectors who could give me advice on which metal color will work the best: Yellow, Rose Gold or Platinum? I'm attaching a few videos of what vendor sent me.

I don't have pictures. I have videos of the Stone.
I tried to attach videos that did not work. I'm including the screenshot from the videos.

Is it coming to you loose? If so, then I would suggest putting it next to all three metal colors and see which you like best. I think it's a personal thing and what I might like, may not be the same as your choice.

No. It is coming set. I selected Platinum to keep it simple and let stone be the center of attention. But now I am doubting my choice. I was torn between plat and rose gold.

Personally for the type of color stone, I like rose gold for the enhanced contrast…

Here is an excerpt I found online:
“

• Best Green Diamond Engagement Ring Styles​

  The style of your engagement ring setting can make your green diamond look more or less green. Even if your diamond is light green or fancy light green, you can make the color look more saturated by doing two things. First, surround the diamond with rose gold prongs or a rose gold bezel. The entire basket that holds the diamond should be rose gold if possible. Then accent the ring with bright white diamonds in while gold or platinum. The reflection from the rose gold, combined with the contrast with the white diamond in platinum or white gold, makes a paler green diamond look more intense.
  
  The contrast effect means that halo green diamond halo engagement rings are a popular choice. Three-stone engagement rings with a green diamond center stone and white diamond side stones are another way to add contrast and make the color of your green diamond look richer.
  
  If you are in love with green diamonds but a green diamond center stone isn’t in your budget, you can add the romance of green diamonds to your ring by adding a green diamond halo to a colorless diamond center stone. We can also add small green diamond accents to an eternity ring or wedding ring.”

Does yours have fluorescence of any kind? That might help or hinder, maybe.
I feel the same about coordinating contrasting metals to stone colors. I think a few vendors have before said it’s absolutely a guessing game what an enhancing mount will do for a stone until it’s set.

Not the same at all as you, but general concept,
I had a slight pinkish cast GIA brown k pear set in rose. Sometimes the stone picked up that pink in certain lightings and blended. In other lightings the pear looked yellow and it amped contrast.
The same with a GIA VLPB cushion. It was a range that depended on lighting and enhance vs contrast. Plus I think what developed was it’s an inner mindset on ‘I’m fooling the eyes’ vs ‘that’s all the stones doing’, color enhance wise. Neither is wrong, though!

This thread was the same GIA color designation as yours, but I’m sure the range it encompasses is noticeable.

I've been lurking around this forum for nearly 10 years. And each time I am about to purchase a gemstone or decide on a setting (e.g. will a bezel setting deepen the colour of my sapphire?), I would immediately log on here to check out what all of you had to say. Your knowledge and experiences have helped me navigate a potentially perilous world of coloured gemstones.

Anyway, when I was about to purchase a green diamond, I logged on here to try learn as much as possible. Perhaps because consumers aren't that well acquainted with green diamonds, I wasn't able to find as much information...

I hope you come back with many photos when you receive it, and tell us what you think about it.

I would also go rose gold!

My diamond is Fancy Grayish Yellowish Green with faint fluorescence.
Since fluorescence is faint, GIA would not comment on it's color.

Also, it is VVS1 so I don't expect inclusions to interfere.
