Oval bezel setting inspo
I am thinking about using the linked setting as inspiration to have a custom setting created for a 2.44 ct. oval, E/VVS2 that is on the way. I'd like the diamond set a bit higher than the ring in the link and a bit cleaner metalwork on the petals.
If this was done in all yellow gold, do you think it would make the stone look warmer? I paid for the E color for a reason, so I don't want to waste that money if I'm just going to warm it up with the setting. Maybe I should have the petals made out of platinum and the bezel and band in yellow gold? That would add strength and help avoid the diamond picking up some of the warmth from the yellow gold.
Should I even consider having the bezel made out of yellow gold or will 14k be too soft and platinum is the only answer?
