Inspired by the beauty of HDer's 2 carat ring, I have decided to look further into darker colored diamonds. I need ideas for settings that go well with those specific diamonds. I won't reach 2 carats myself, I'm looking towards 1.25 to 1.50. All shapes welcomed!! :razz: :roll2:

Oh, and thank you in advance for posting your ring's specs.
 
I have a GIA L 2.20ct antique cushion in the process of being reset into a halo. I would not consider mine dark though. I love it and you can get more for your diamond buck if color doesn’t bother you.

The side stones in my e-ring are both I colour, and the centre is a J. A great cut lower colour can still look super white! I don't see any colour in mine at all.

Here are all my K‘s. The pendant is from JA, the studs are from a local jeweler in Dubai. All of the stones are GIA graded K.

I think K stones are really white, and I almost have never seen any tint in the rounds, only in the heart, but that is also more steely, not yellow.
 
I will say, you can’t judge diamond color in photos, and even less so of photos online, due to camera settings, lighting situations, and monitor settings. That said, this is my friend’s M that I helped her fiancé pick out. She snapped this shot with the worlds worst background color!

So many beautiful stones and settings, this is delightful :geek2:
Thank you to everyone who is participating!

@jadesilver - no I haven't seen any in real life, I so would love to though.

@missy - thank you for the thread!

Mine is a 1.59 J si2 gia I’ve collected some pictures in platinum and yellow gold. Tried to find some that showed body color and profile photos to get side color

This is my 1.02ct oval J I1 diamond ring with 12 brilliant cut natutally enhanced black diamonds for a tcw of 1.62
All set in 14k white gold and the prongs for the black diamond are black gold. Not the best quality diamond but it's still quite beautiful! 20180208_173928.jpgScreenshot_20180208-174043.jpg

For comparison sake here is my L with different color OECs to compare and contrast. Bea (my 4.56 GIA LVS1) is on my pointer finger first pic. Comparison with a GIA 4.28 IVVS OEC.
