Hello!
Thanks to a lot of help here in many existing threads, I have finally executed on a 1.7ct Q/R VS1 old european cut for an engagement ring.
7.23 - 7.43 x 5.10 mm. 46% table, 69.6% depth. I have not posted a video, but I think it is well cut and has a lot of light play.
As you can see from the stats, it's quite deep at over 69% and faces up smaller than its carat weight would indicate. She faces up warm but not overly yellow.
In terms of a setting, I'm thinking a simple yellow gold solitaire. Any views on whether this stone would be better served by platinum or white gold instead? Do you think the depth will put the stone too high in a solitaire? I have heard some people recommend bezels to accentuate warmer stones -- do you that applies here?
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!
