Bezel emerald cut studs ? rose vs white gold?

[e2the3rd]

I found bezel set 1ctw emerald cut studs for a nice price ending today. I’ve been considering them for days ! I'm hesitating because I’m wondering will they perform ok on the ear at .50ct each? I’ve never owned anything EC but I’ve always wanted one, especially bezeled.

I love how they look in rose gold in the photos. But I only ever wear white metal so that’s what I’m leaning towards. But might be fun to have something different… also would the cuts stand out better with the contrast of the rose gold? I’ve been searching for photos and videos elsewhere but not having a lot of luck. Thought I’d check and see if anyone here has input re emerald cuts as studs and set in rose gold vs white? Thanks!

I hesitate to buy non symmetrical studs due to the spinability of them in the ear.

I saw that’s a common complaint but it doesn’t really bother me

@e2the3rd whilst I don’t have a RG vs WG comparison, I do have a 0.39ct E emerald cut set in YG, with I and J coloured pears. The asscher in my e-ring is an I colour.

I would say that the emerald cut seems to take on the colour of the yellow gold more - and so if you’re looking to “continue” that visual line of steps right to the edge of the setting then maybe WG bezel is best? Of course, if you’d like variety, then go for RG!

Oh @Pomelo how I love every single piece of yours. Thank you! I ordered the white gold. I’m excited for my first little ECs!
