I would like to get a setting for my engagement ring with an 18karat yellow gold band and 4 white prongs. However, I don't know whether I should get white gold or platinum prongs. I plan on having a 1 carat diamond in the middle with two .2 carats on either side so I don't know whether having 3 stones makes any difference. Any suggestions on whether white gold or platinum prongs are better matches (compatibility, strength) for a yellow gold band?
Some jewellers have told me that it's better to use white gold with yellow gold because the melting properties are the same rather than platinum with yellow gold since the 2 have very different properties. Is this true?
