Well,they are accurate, as they haven't been doctored at all, and they are the color I saw at the time.elle_chris|1420303538|3811315 said:In the first pic, it looks best against the penny. Thing is, the color isn't accurate in the change pictures. Your skin tone is different in them as well.
In the second pic, where the the stone is in the settings, I prefer it in the yellow gold.
Yeah, if I got it in rose gold I'd have to give up that dream of a tiffany twist. BUT, maybe that's not the worst thing, as they are very expensive for what they are..junebug17|1420304098|3811320 said:I like the RG! I like the idea of the combination of the marquise and the somewhat newer look of the RG. Just a cool combination IMO. And as the years pass if you get tired of the rg you can always reset to yg. My only thought is you mentioned you'd like to get a Tiffany twist band at some point, and I think that would look best with the YG setting. Can't go wrong either way, whatever you decide will look lovely on you!
I agree the brushed metal is lovely. I wonder if I'd want to do that with rose?misskittycat|1420319339|3811423 said:I think your stone looks brighter in the rose gold setting, if that's what you are after (i.e. making it look a tad whiter). I love the brushed yellow gold on the JbG ring though - it's just sensational. What a gorgeous ring!!! And I do think the NSEW prong setting will make it look more modern.

Haha! Perfect thanks.packrat|1420327723|3811475 said:I love brushed finish. Sooo I vote brushed and rg. Ta da!

The white is more so just to keep the stone whitest, in general white metal kinda bores me, so that's just why it wasn't. But you're right, if I went 18k, it would get a totally different look, like yours... But I think at that point I want yellow or rose because the warmth is unique (at least where I live) and looks better on me.
Here's an example of two tone head/shank. I think ita fairly seamless. This picture also makes me want the matte finish![]()

I love this ring! Would you consider setting it E-W? I have this exact type of setting on my ever-growing-I-want-everything PS wish listI know that you said you're doing N-S, but this is so yummy! Either way do the shank brushed

I actually decided yellow gold. Which was hard because I know a lot of you guys thought rose would be better. But jon at gog said originally he felt yellow gold would make it look whiter. Then I sent it off to dk and he said he thinks yellow gold with a white head would be best. And sense those are the only two vendors who have seen the stone and held it in hand with other metals, I feel like I trust their judgment. Plus, I really do like yellow better. Means I can get that twist eventually.![]()
I've already told him I wanted a matte finish. I hear I'm getting drawing today.

YESSSSSSSS! So glad you chose yellow gold. I didn't weigh in on this thread bc I feel like I'm boring with my yg obsession. I think matte or brushed will be awesome, how wide will the shank be?

Gah I don't know. I was thinking 2.1, maybe 2.2... But I need some cads to visualize the width in relation to the center stone.
PS I never tire of your yellow gold obsession!

I think it's a good idea that you're not going with a super thin shank and using brush/matte finish (it's not a bad idea either). I like when brush/matte finishes on rings are noticeable. I've tried a couple of super thin brushed style rings on and, to me, it's barely noticeable. With a slightly thicker shank, you'll be able to appreciate that detail. Hope I'm making sense.
