Hi all,
New to the diamond world, but upon lots or research, my boyfriend & I decided that an Old European Cut diamond is what we would both love in an engagement ring. I found two diamonds with Old World Diamonds (per previous thread recommendations) and would like advice based on the info below. Would the J color look noticeably yellow tinted with a white gold setting (here's the setting we're planning to use)? Anything we should look out for on either of the two options?
Trying to stay somewhere between 1.3 - 1.6 carats and getting the best bang for our buck while it still remaining beautiful to the naked eye.
Also, is it difficult to set these types of diamonds? Hoping to purchase just the setting (upon providing all the dimensions) from a jeweler & then get this diamond set it in.
Would love to hear opinions!
