Ok friends, I've had this ring for a while and it never felt perfect.
I think I need to change it to yellow gold. What do you think? Do you think 14 or 18 kt YG? Or do you think leave platinum?
Also, the ring is shifting on my finger and I think I'm going to try euro shank. Does anyone have a euro shank and do they love it? I've realized that in a 3 stone I prefer it to stay centered on my finger. I don't mind a little spin on a solitaire.
Thank you for everyone's help!

First of all, I’m still totally obsessed with this ring. It’s gorgeous!
Now onto your question…I think yellow gold would be a lovely way to enhance the P color of your center diamond. If you feel like it’s not working for you as is, that may be a fun option. I also like the look of DK’s antique gold.
I had my M colored AVC ring set in DK's 14k antique yellow. I'm very happy with it. I mentioned that up thread in posts #14, 25 and @mrs-b's observation of it is in #26.
I'll add the photo again if you don't want to go back and look. I am definitely a fan of putting warmer diamonds in yellow gold (stones with yellow tint) or rose (stones with brown tint). It's just personal, but I don't like yellow or brown tinted stones in white metal. But just make sure it's the combo of the tint of the stone and the white metal you don't like. If it's just the spinning, maybe add some sizing cushions to keep it more in place? I can't speak to the euro shank so I'll leave that to others.
I love euro shanks! Super comfortable and stops ring from spinning!
I'd go with antique gold. It would really complement the tint of your diamonds. But I'd probably do a bezel. I'm not a fan of the way the sides seem to bleed into the center stone and the way that affects the look of their shape. Makes them look tapered, to my eye. So I'd go with an antique gold in a bezel setting; that would look beautiful.
Aside from not having a euro-shank, I think the CAD reflects everything you wish changed very nicelyThank you so much @Rfisher Yes, I'm changing metal color because I was feeling like the diamonds weren't as bright in platinum. I'm realizing that I like a 3 stone to sit perfectly centered on my finger. The off center drives me crazy. I'm ok with a solitaire twisting but it seems with 3 stone it bothers me. I'm hoping euro shank will fix that. The 6.25 was tight going over my knuckle and I didn't like that so I'm hoping 6.5 and euro will fix that.
I think the bezels will show off the diamonds better, vintage cushions, even though I do love the swoopy heart prongs.
I'm open to suggestions. Thank you everyone!

Thanks for the love everyone!
Hi Friends! I am very sorry for not updating this thread. Thank you for understanding.
Ok now, for the good stuff....so my wonderful friend @mrs-b Suggested yellow gold from the beginning and she was right! And she suggested bezel setting and that was the ticket to get these beautiful diamonds to shine beautifully!
Here are some pics!
And my favorite part about this ring is there is a hidden diamond in the shank with a beautiful butterfly inscribed. These are surprises from @mrs-b to symbolize transformation and that I'm always a sparkly girly girl! Thank you so much dear friend. This ring is beautiful and very special!
