Hi all,
I''m in the market for an approximately 2 carat cushion cut diamond, which I''m hoping to put in a pave bezel setting (i.e., diamonds all the way around the face of the stone).
I think I''d be fine with getting a center stone in an H color (as long as the stone faces up rather white), but my concern is that many of the settings I like (for example, those by Michael B and Daniel K) may well contain stones that rank higher up on the color scale (say F or G). Since the pave will be right up against the stone, I''m worried that I might see an unpleasant color contrast between the setting stones and the center stone. Do you think I''ll need to go for a more colorless center stone for this reason?
Advice is appreciated.
