What color gold setting for my diamond studs?

[AliPfefferman]

For everyday jewelry, I always wear my engagement and wedding rings, both set in platinum, and usually a white gold (tiny) "diamonds by the yard" necklace. Sometimes I swap out the white gold necklace for an antique yellow gold one. For going out I often wear a larger "fun" faux yellow gold necklace.

I have a big birthday coming up and in response to my very strong "hint" my DH is going to buy me a pair of diamond studs, probably around .5 - .75 carats each. Somehow I've always pictured that they would be yellow gold, like my mum has. But would that clash with my other white gold/platinum jewelry? How much do you even notice the setting on diamonds studs anyway?

Thanks much!

Why don't you buy 2 pairs of fake earrings, one pair in yellow gold plate, one in white and wear them for a while to see what you prefer/find more versatile, before you buy your real ones. You can test out how thry look against your clothes/make up/other jewellery.
It's a lot of money to spend without knowing for sure what you want.

I also second the idea of getting screwbacks - I have lost so many earrings over the years, that I now only wear cheapish ones.

I'd always go for a white metal setting, I like yellow gold on its own, but think stones look much better with a white metal setting, somehow yellow gold detracts from the beauty of the stone.

The dias in the yellow are probably better quality if they sparkle more.

No, the white gold ones I own are better quality. The yellow gold provides a nice contrast, that's all.

I think if you are going to buy nice diiamond studs platinum can't be beat. It makes the setting disappear, showing off the stones. I chose a martini glad setting for mine and safety backs.

Love the cartwheel jackets! Shall have to check them out.
