Diamond Color vs. Gold Color? Anyone help?

[_BUQARI_]

Hi all,

I've been searching PS for answers regarding my question already but cant find a decent answer.
So I'll ask you guys myself ..

I got a 3.10 carat "NATURAL Fancy Vivid Yellowish Green" Diamond (Cushion Cut).
It's in for recutting to Radiant Cut (approx 2.70 - 2.90 carat) - Ideal Cut.

My question is which color of Gold (mounting) I chould choose to enhance the Green color, and NOT the Yellowish?
Any ideas??

As far as I know for example Demantoids (Green) look amazing in Rose Gold - enhance it's color and sparkle.
Emerald's with Bluish/Green - Green/Green color looks AMAZING in White Gold - make the color more Vivid.
Emerald's in Yellow Gold (I dont like that) enhance the "Yellow" in the Emerald - but it does look warmer in color.

I know it do excist Green Gold but I've never seen a Green Gemstone in Green Gold before.
Anyone? Pictures?

So which color to choose to enhance the Green Color of the Diamond??
If White Gold is the best I'll go with PT950 Platinum.

To make it really simple, if anyone understand the Original Color Wheel (I dont) - it's no problem to answer me.
For example: Purple occupies a position on the color wheel halfway between red and blue. Pure gold is itself a highly saturated yellow. Set a purplish-red ruby in yellow and the yellow neutralizes its complement blue leaving the stone appearing to be pure red in the setting.

So which Gold color neautrilizes Yellow and/or complement the Blue (Yellow + Blue = Green)???
I'd rather go with a "Bluish Green" diamond than a "Yellowish Green".

Or is the answer so easy and simple as Purple Gold would make the Diamond look Greener?!
If I understand correct, yes - hence the Rose Gold, Red Gold would make the Green hazy (washed out)??

Unfortunately, there is no quick and easy answer to your question. Posting a picture with an as accurate colour will be helpful.

Technically, yellow gold is supposed to bring out the green in a yellowish green stone. I set my chartruese chrysoberyl in 18K and think it worked for me. Then again, there are also a whole host of other factors, with tone and saturation playing an important role, including personal opinion. For me, I think emeralds look superb in yellow (which should enhance the blue) but that's just me.

If you look for Mochi, Chrysoberyl and Whiteflash all together, you'll find pictures of her stone set in 18K green gold.

IIRC, I've seen green diamonds in rose gold and I thought it looked great! BTW, purple gold is not recommended because of its brittleness.

Thank you so much for your reply, I appreciate it!

I've ordered some different types of sheets (Gold, Silver, Bronze/Copper).
I will put the diamond on each of them so I'll be able to see how the color of the diamond is reacting to each color - without purchasing different semi-mounts.

Mochi probably changed name to "Upgradable"?

Yes, I've seen plenty of Green Diamonds in Rose Gold as well, so that was my first thought.
But then I started to read about the Color Wheel (complementary colors etc.) and as far as I understand: the Red color in the Rose Gold would make he Green less Green, and Purple or Blue would enhance the Green color. I might be wrong tho'!

The picture attached is NOT of the actual diamond but the color is more or less identical.
I've set the cutting on hold for a couple of days, first thought was to get it cutted into an Radiant Cut but at the same time I love the Asscher Cut.

But as far as I've been reading - the Radiant Cut would enhance the Vivid Yellowish Green color, and the Asscher Cut can make the diamond look "hazy".
I dont know if this is correct 'cause I've never seen a NATURAL Green Diamond with an Asscher Cut at all.
