I am glad this thread got bumped! I love yellow gold, but usually prefer platinum or wg for diamonds. However when I decided to keep (read - hoard) my 2 ct oec when I upgraded to almost 4, the rings were too similar. So I decided to have DK set it in a yellow gold octagonal satin finish setting, and size it for my index or middle finger instead. I love pairing it with my other yg pieces. Unfortunately it seems to be camera shy and I cannot get a pic that quite captures how pretty it is:

That looks really comfy for a 2 carat ring.

It is really comfortable.

Did you ever do a smtb? I read through your post asking for design input and saw the pretty IG video but could not find a thread with the hundreds of pics that this ring deserves. If you haven’t done one, please do!

I’m so sorry that I just saw this reply (notifications are weird in that they sometimes don’t work!!). I never did! I haven’t gotten around to it but also can’t capture it in pics like I want! So eventually I will or add pics to the existing thread ;-)

Here's my 18k yellow gold 2.45ct Rosie in her CvB setting. I usually prefer wg or platinum for my skin tone but the yellow gold gives this such richness. I feel like Mary Queen of Scots when I wear it :razz: 20211126_132907.jpg 20211126_153350.jpg

Thank you! I wasn't even looking for another diamond ring at the time when I came upon it pre-loved. I knew I would forever regret not getting it so other projects have just been spinning their wheels for almost a year, lol.

Thank you both for being so kind. The spinel 18k ring is made by David Rudzinski.

Love the profile; had not seen that part of it before with the little diamonds. So cool.
