Is there a thread that just has yellow gold solitaires in it? I found several threads asking about prong color recommendations, and an old thread asking to show me your yellow gold e rings, but no thread on yellow gold solitaires only.

Given yellow gold has increased a lot in popularity over last several years I think this would be great.

Also this is random but several years ago (I’m talking circa 2011-2013) a woman posted a gorgeous simple yellow gold solitaire. The picture was of her hand outside on a sunny day. Anyway any long timers here let me know if you recall this thread/poster. Thank you!!!

The old pic you’re thinking of - it had yellow prongs too? I might recall it.

I just got my new setting today and I am in LOVE. 2237E58D-CBFB-4E9D-8830-8B3FDF486091.jpeg BE3C0DE7-BAA7-4120-8FE0-28DF9B01D9C1.jpeg F5F3E33E-6D4A-482D-832A-B5FA32DC667B.jpeg
setting was from adiamor (low profile basket) yellow gold with platinum prongs...set by local jeweler. Perfect for me because I wear gloves everyday. Now to change the wedding band

This is stunning. I’d love to know the stats on your stone!

Thanks so much! It’s 2.41 ct J SI1 ACA from Whiteflash! I actually got it with the help and knowledge of everyone here :)

Oh yes!! I actually think I was looking at your 1.9 I! Is it listed on WF now? How do you like the yellow gold with your J? Does it make it look different than your old setting?

just found it! I love it with yellow gold. Haven’t seen much of a difference in the stone I guess since the prongs are white but the contrast and simplicity of it is exactly what I wanted. I’m color sensitive and I don’t feel like it’s a J at all. Actually with the white gold I felt it was a bit more obvious

it’s stunning. I had WF set mine in white gold but I’m thinking about doing yellow instead. Is there a reason you didn’t have WF so the setting? Did they just not have one that you loved?

My ring is 3 stone yg with yg prongs. I have only done prong repair once in 15 years. I love the look of the gold prong on the white stone.

Yep! I searched high and low for a setting and I liked their solitaires but I really just wanted one with a thinner shank which they didn’t have. I would’ve loved to have them do it, they went above and beyond for me during the stone ordering. Do it! Yellow gold is SO beautiful!!

Gosh @Begonia this is a beautiful ring! Both diamond and setting are heavenly! May I ask where you acquired the setting? I have a loose diamond sitting in my safe.

I am so happy you started this thread!
I am currently planning to reset my original engagement ring stone. It was originally in a yg solitaire, which I still have with an ugly cz in it :( It's now I a wg setting that I'm not loving anymore, so I'm debating a new yg or making it into a yg three stone.

The fun of the planning!

Oh my goodness what a gorgeous setting. The yellow gold flatters your skin tone so much. Thank you for sharing!
