I think you should go with your gut. My original e ring was yellow gold and it sat in my drawer for 10 years until I dipped it now I wear it all the time. But yellow has made a come back and it your like it then go with it.
What he said!I am a bit surprised a professional jeweler would tell a customer to not go with the look he/she likes - the jeweler surely isn't intending to wear the ring. Your taste is your taste and, frankly, there are a lot of people who love yellow gold in an engagement ring - do what you love so you will love it everyday when you look at it.
I think it all comes down to what you prefer - whether that be knowing your colorless stone is looking the whitest possible with platinum or the contrast between it and yellow gold! I had the same dilemma - my husband proposed with a 1.8 D-VVS2 RB given to him by his mom. When I went to reset it with my future MIL & her jeweler, they both really pushed platinum/white gold. I was swayed by their arguments since I didn't know much, even though I always had preferred yellow gold jewelry. 2 years later I still wanted yellow gold and had it reset in 18k yellow gold, prongs and everything
Can’t wait on show the final result in platinum! Thanks for helping me decide, everyone. Yellow gold is luxe and beautiful but I decided to buy a different ring in yellow gold
