Hi All - new member but longtime lurker here. I am thinking about resetting my ering into 14k yellow gold. I generally prefer yellow gold to white gold/platinum (just a personal preference). The stone in my ering belonged to my MIL. Many years ago, she lost her own ering and decided to buy three RB diamonds at the time for her sons to give to their future wives. She wore them as earrings/pendant for a while until my husband proposed to me. When he proposed, it was in a temporary setting and said we could go to his mother's jeweler to pick out a setting I would like.
When we went to pick out the setting, I was very clear in my preferences: simple setting, either yellow or rose gold. The jeweler and my MIL said that would be such a shame as the diamond is colorless and I should really go with white gold or platinum. Well, what did I know! So I picked out a simple platinum setting and called it a day. We've been married 3 years now, and I do like my setting but always think about resetting it in yellow gold. DH doesn't have a preference, he just wants me to be happy. MIL would not be seriously upset/offended, she's pretty easy going. My question is, do you think it would be a shame since the diamond is colorless? I know ultimately this is a personal preference, but would love to hear your opinions and cons that I haven't thought of yet. One thing I do like is the 4 prongs can give the illusion of it being a cushion cut, would this be more or less pronounced in yellow gold?
Here's the GIA report for reference. She bought it before they started grading cut - TIA!

Depth: 59.8%

Girdle: thin to med, faceted
