Good morning,
I have question regarding diamond’s colour.
I’ve read on your website that colour of the diamond (round shape) when ring setting is gold could be with index I or even K because diamond can absorb yellow colour from the ring and in that case became more yellowish so there is no point to go higher with index level if budget is reduced.
What about if gold ring has head (crown) made of white metal?
It’s true that for a yellow gold solitaire setting with yellow gold prongs you can go as low as K color. White gold prongs might make the color more obvious so I’d go one grade up (J) to ensure the colorless impression.
Do you want me to suggest some diamonds to you?
I have already chose two diamonds on bluenile website but I have still some concerns.
Blue Nile LD11871910
Blue Nile LD12250817
My budget for a diamond is maximum 1600 pounds but basically I am looking for something around 1400 and cheaper if its possible. Generally, I want diamond whitch has beautiful brilliance and sparkle obviously and be still in my budget.
My setting is made of 18k gold with six prongs made by platinum. So far only bluenile.com website is the best what I could find because they have shipping within EU which is what I need to avoid any taxes, duty od fees.
