Sadly, these are not mine, but I thought it'd be fun to throw them up for the extra eye candy.

Both out of Trabert's Jewelry in SF. The 8 prong is an OEC M and the 4 prong is an OEC N. Erika Winter settings - I wanted to see the settings in person. Maybe it was the store's lighting, but I could hardly notice the warmth in the stone, even against my J.

Thanks for posting, Yimmers! Always appreciate seeing Erika's work. Is the yellow gold greenish in real life?

Imdoubler are there more pictures of this beautiful ring? I am loving the setting and I would really like to see more pictures of it, the engraving looks so pretty, what's the side view like?

I want to know, too! If I'm not mistaken, it's a Lilybell setting by JYB Jewels, which is my new cushion cut dream project :love:

Skhii, I think the yellow gold appears that way, but it's pretty yellow. If I remember, I wore an olive shirt that day and my wedding band is 18k rose gold, also EW. I think EW does 18k gold/rose gold.

IMG_2782.JPG Here is Mr. Kaplan in her new setting! She is a 2.22 GIA M OEC from Jewels by Grace. She wasn't popping in rose gold or in a halo, but in yellow gold she is flashing around like the star she is! I'm posting in her lots of threads lol, sorry!

I decided to post this since I could never find an M color Emerald cut photo for comps. I though I would like a warmer stone but I didn't like it as an EC next to my band. This pic barely shows the contrast I saw IRL. It was a 2.4ct M loosely placed on a cathedral setting at a jewelry store (I "tried on" several that day) Very nice shape the color as an EC just wasn't for me but someone else might like it! For reference I'm a 7.5 size. The shadow of my phone, boo.

I do think the OECs in a warm color are divine!!! And cushions, rounds but not an EC.

Here's my warm collection. All stones are GIA certified:
An M .60 Si2 AVR that I traded in (and still miss!)
A .90 N Premium Vintage Cushion from GOG in its current setting (it was in a WG soli at first)
A .41 M VVS emerald cut (I have had the crooked prong straightened since this photo.)

I just ordered a Q/R heart diamond and I’m really hoping you can see the color in it!

Here is my 2.12ct M I1 bluffy oval which just arrived today. I thought it would be much more yellow but it's fairly white.
I've got it photographed next to my F colour marquise. In some lighting you can definitely see the difference. In others, not so much! IMG_1682.JPG IMG_1681.JPG IMG_1680.JPG IMG_1679.JPG IMG_1678.JPG

I'm trying to work out if I want a traditional or east/west setting! The there's metal colour and prong setting. I love a first world problem!
