So my gorgeous Jeff White 10 x 8mm rubellite has been cut and should reach me this week. I'll give it the once over, then ship it on to DKJ to be set.
This is where it all becomes tricky....
I want to set it north/south in a halo of 5 point diamonds, in yellow gold. And my question is *this*:
Should I set the diamonds in yellow gold, like the rest of the setting, or should I set the rubellite in yellow, have the shank in yellow, but set the diamonds in platinum?
Does anyone have any photos of a halo setting in all yellow, where the center stone is a colored gem? And - equally useful - does anyone have any photos of a halo'd setting where the shank and center colored gem are in yellow gold, but the diamonds are in a white metal?
In lieu of that - I'll take any photos of halo'd colored gems!
Thank you, all!
