Has anyone got 14k or 18k yellow or rose gold from DK to show me the difference?

I'm not sure what kind of design you are planning, but maybe use unplated wg around the stone ( is a lovely slightly warmish color unplated) and then your yg for shank. That way the yg color is not right next to your stone.

Here are my CADs I don’t think it will look right to make it two tone.

Just gone back through the thread and sussed that the apricot gold @mrs-b mentioned and linked to a pic (just the chain) on DK Instagram is one in the same as what he recommended (50/50 yellow/rose) so I am feeling more confident now about this going forward.

Oh that's going to be a knockout! And I love the 50/50 blend.

Thanks stepcutnut. I think it’s doubly difficult as I haven’t seen the stone in person, if I had I would have worked it all out I’m sure
Hopefully I’ll make a decision soon, I really just want to get the thing now!

I understand completely, I never saw either of these two stones in person prior to having them set so felt it was a bit of a guessing game. You want the metal to go with your skintone and the stone, all while never having seen the stone in person and wanting to have the ring asap-I get it

Ooo just saw your CADs-it will be lovely and I think peach gold will be a nice color!

Yep you have nailed it. Very pricey guessing game and I am already worried enough about the unseen stone. Never again
Thanks for the CAD compliment hopefully it all works out. I am definitely feeling better about that color gold, will double check with DK and see if it is the same one. I am going ahead with the emerald wrap so he is sourcing stones for that. I have also asked him to do an eternity at the same time which he is going to try to source lower color OECs for. It will be so difficult to match when he no longer has my stone so I figure on doing it now. In short - who knows how long I could be waiting!

I agree on the pricey guessing game and worrying about the unseen stone, I told myself never again but have four other projects in the works with stones I have not seen in person, so I guess I didn't learn my lesson An emerald wrap sounds lovely and an eternity will be a great addition also! Can't wait to see all three!!!

Aww thank you and I’m glad I’m not the only one biting my nails!
