This is also true for other
metals used in jewelry, which is why there is a raging market for each, based on the type of
ring different consumers prefer.
Non-Halo Rings: When it comes to
yellow or rose gold,
diamonds set in them take on some of the
colors of the
metal. Even
‘D’ to
‘F’ stones can look a couple of
color grades lower because of this. However, there is a nice frame created for the
stone, which means the diamond will be more brilliant and will have a shine.
Halo Rings: When creating a
2-carat diamond halo ring with
yellow or rose gold, you normally want the
stone looking larger than it is, but it rarely works out that way.
White gold is a much smarter choice of
metal in such instances because it can render the illusion of the
stone is more of a focal point than it actually is.
For a delicate and uniform look though,
yellow or rose gold are your best options.
The
metal color is more pronounced in the center
metal when there is a
halo of smaller
gems around it.
