Setting opinions on a Y colored oval

[BrownGinger]

Hi everyone! I have an oval Y colored diamond that I’m trying to figure out how to set. I think I’m hoping to play up the yellow. From my google “research”, it seems that a popular method of playing up the yellow is by bezeling it and putting it next to whiter diamonds but what I was leaning towards before I got to play with it in real life was this brushed gold setting.

Here’s the setting I’ve been coveting.

And here’s a few terrible pics of the stone

When I placed it next to some G/H’s, I began having second thoughts. Do you think the brushed gold setting will help bring out the yellow?

 

[farrahlyn]

oh, it is LOVELY! i LOVE the brushed gold setting, i think that will play up the color nicely. I wouldn't set it with whiter stones, she is gorgeous by herself and i'd let her be the star of the show!

 

[MamaBee]

I love your diamond! The color is breathtaking! I would definitely set it in that yellow gold setting by herself! Yum!

You can have a yellow gold cup added to enhance the color as well.

Heres a thread of @KKJohnson's beauty, which is a marquise shaped lovelie.

Another yes to the yellow cup or a yellow gold bezel around the stone, if you do a white diamond halo. Diamonds by Lauren does a ton of these and it really plays up the yellow. I have a ring from them that's an end of the alphabet but it is enhanced by the setting. Mine is below. I gave you two photos because the second shows the yellow gold bezel clearly.

Oh yes! I'd definitely bezel it with YG! Not a Y, but (close enough) a U-V OEC in YG bezel with white diamonds surrounding:

I love that brushed yellow gold setting that you posted...ugh, I love the one msop posted also! Tough choice! Both lovely!

 

[Matilda]

I adore the brushed gold setting BUT I do think the setting @msop04 posted would also really help bring out the yellow in the diamond. Though I don't think you can go wrong with either setting. I think with either setting the yellow cup idea is excellent!

 

[BlingObsession]

I also like the MSOP setting but I like the 3 stone idea too. I am not a fan of the brushed gold setting personally. In other words, I like the contrast of white diamonds next to the Y diamond which is gorgeous.

I can’t wait to see what you decide on.

Ugh that diamond is absolutely delicious

I would go for the gold as it were with this CvB setting. Or the second style by David Klass. They’re both under my “saved” settings.

Love the idea of a true yellow gold setting with bright white diamonds for the halo. I think the contrast between the bright white small diamonds and the yellow oval would be gorgeous!

Or something like these:

This is my Q OEC set with a yellow gold shank, set with a yellow gold basket and a platinum halo. The yellow gold basket set off the color of the stone. Your stone would look fabulous set with a yellow gold basket with a platinum halo! Wow!!! I would definitely play on the color of that beautiful stone! Buttery delicious.

And this is my K set in a brushed yellow gold setting.

 

[Sabrina31]

That yellow is soo buttery and pretty!

I love this ring

Your ring is seriously gorgeous!

Sigh....this ring is one of my top 10 favorites on Pricescope.

Those are both so gorgeous—I was actually really considering the first one and setting it east west but I love it most with a rose cut and have therefore put it on my future jewelry goals (more likely fantasy) list.

 

[BrownGinger]

And this is my K set in a brushed yellow gold setting.

Sooo stunning! And even more tempting is how very different in style it is from my other rings. Thanks for sharing.

Would east-west setting appeal?
