Hey everybody -- we got in touch with Good Old Gold to ask about the possibility of custom-making a wedding band using warmer colored diamonds. My engagement ring is a M color AVC in a platinum solitaire setting, so we need a platinum wedding band. I bought this ring:
Which I absolutely love, but I worry that the diamonds are going to contrast too much with my AVC, pictured here:
The band is currently too small and in need of a polishing, so it's hard to compare the color contrast. My engagement ring setting is split-claw prong, so I'd like a wedding band with a more vintage feel. Good Old Gold couldn't source anything like the wedding band that I love, but they recommended this ring from Unique Settings of NY that can be custom set with M-N color melee.
It's similar to a style from Blue Nile that I like, but the diamonds are full 1 pointers instead of Blue Niles .06-0.07 pointers.

What would you guys do? Do you think the band Good Old Gold recommended will look good with my engagement ring? Will 1 pointers overwhelm my ring? That might be a stupid question, but I can't really comprehend the size difference without seeing them in person.
Will the diamonds in the band be so small that the color won't be noticeable and they will still look whiter than my AVC because they're just giving off really small flashes? We're worried about making a custom order that we won't be able to return.
The price is comparable to Blue Nile's ring, so that's not an issue. I really love the style of that first vintage ring -- I'm wondering if we should get that one polished and sized to see how big the contrast really is.
Sorry for all the questions!
