All-around help on yellow gold setting

[Highhopes]

Does anyone have suggestions on 18K yellow gold (prongs too), round solitaire settings? There don't seem to be a ton of choices at the online vendors I was looking at, most seem to have white gold or platinum prongs.

Current front runner is this one from Enchanted Diamonds:
https://enchanteddiamonds.com/rings/view/SL5-8Y-R

Also looking for considerations on color for the diamond. Have read opposing opinions on going everything from F to J, and just not sure how it would look with the above setting or something similar.

Prefer to buy the diamond from either EA, James Allen, or Brian Gavin. Will be looking for:
>Cut: Near H&A or better b/c I'm seeking optimal light performance
>Clarity: SI1 to VS1
>Budget: $12K
>Carat: 1.0-1.7

Many thanks!

James Allen does carry some solitaire settings with all yellow gld including prongs. Here are three examples shown in 14k but you can get in 18k. In terms of color, I would suggest you go and look at some varied colors in person. I think a very white against the yellow gold is stunning, but I also like a warmer stone in yellow gold. This one is personal preference.

A lot of times you just have to tell the vendor you want the whole setting out of yellow gold. I think it can be done most
of the time at most vendors.

Here are a couple at JA that you can see "bought" rings in all gold.

There are others that are ever so slightly smaller for less.

Brian Gavin can do it too.

BGD lets you search for 18K YG -- if you scroll thru there are plenty of choices that are already YG with YG prongs.

These BGD ones are pretty

Also, most of the Sholdt settings in YG have YG prongs. Here are a few.

Thanks everyone!

Should I consider any added impact from fluorescence due to the all-yellow gold setting? I was thinking none or slight, but not sure if some fluorescence is better in this case?
