Hello,
My girlfriend has decided she wants a simple yellow gold solitaire for her ring. Following the suggestions online about not overpaying for colour on a yellow gold ring, I bought her a 1.2 ct GIA J colour, SI1 eye clean with excellent cut. The stone faces up quite nicely, but you can see a tint from the side when scrutinizing it in certain lighting. I would like the diamond to look as white as possible, so how should I set it? The shank will be yellow gold, but should the 4 prongs be platinum or yellow gold for optimum stone whiteness? There seems to be conflicting opinions out there. She does not mind either set up.
Thank you forum-goers!
