Designing my 20th Anniversary Ring

[Lookinagain]

@Lookinagain I noticed in an old thread I came across that you have a ring that is yellow gold and unplated white. What karat are the golds? And I wonder if you can comment on the look of unplated wg compared to platinum with your old cuts?

Sorry, I just saw this question. The golds are both 14k. The yellow is NOT the antique yellow. I tried to get a photo of the unplated white basket next to platinum for you. I think the fact that the unplated white is covered in milgrain makes it a bit harder to tell that it is in fact, unplated. And that stone is very warm, but I do like the unplated white with it and it really looks pretty white for it's color face up in those unplated prongs.

Thank you! You raise a good point about engraving and texture affecting how color is perceived. I will need to give that more thought.

I realize I didn't answer you question about unplated white vs. platinum with my old cuts but I don't really think I can comment as none of my other old cuts are as warm as this one, and also that ring is the only one I have with unplated white.
