Gorgeous! Crop em even more so the diamond fills the whole plane
This is the money shot
I love all the pictures! They are better than the vendor’s - the stone looks way whiter in your pics and vids. I think you cannot go wrong with platinum in terms of metal.
Wow the stone is looking so beautiful! So happy you found your dream stone! I should really get one of those ASET tools too like you suggested, looks awesome!
As for metal, I think if you really like rose gold, you should go for the two-tone!
I asked Alara for photos of their two-tone rose gold and platinum Margot pear stacked with both platinum and rose gold. I don't see myself doing a two-tone stack for everyday unless it has two bands instead of just one. That doesn't mean rose gold is out of the running! It just means I would do a matchy-matchy stack instead of a mismatched band to start with. As mentioned above, because I'm torn on metal color and people here are saying both, I think I'm going back to letting my partner decide in talking to Alara and Erika Winters. There will also be the decision on which setting, though I think it will be the Grace cathedral for girdle protection since the Willa is functionally only 4 prongs.
So the plan is for me to have a little longer to just admire the stone while we wait for insurance to kick in, then off she goes for her setting and then into hiding. I have braces on and, as silly as it sounds, I want them off before getting engaged because I know I'll be grinning like crazy in every photo and I want my teeth to be straight with no metal mouth! I don't really mind being in my 30's with braces but I don't want that recorded for all time
Here are the photos Alara sent me of their two-tone ring. Thanks again everyone for all of the kind words and for weighing in!
She sends off enough rainbows in the sun to distract my cats too.
Love the two tone setting paired with a band the same color as the shank on the ering.
And I feel very vindicated regarding the colorI knew there was something weird in those first images as my experience is that J is very white indeed.
Worst case I just repaint all of the walls in a future house to make sure to avoid the original unflattering lighting I saw her in -- it would still cost less than the upgrade in color! 
Two-toned has that extra punch of special subtle uniqueness that I think suits you, and you really pull off the rose gold like no other. Another consideration on the band would be if you want it to be matchy/complimentary with your fiance's wedding band. Some people may want that, but it's all personal preference.
Love the pictures and videos.
Thank you!
I feel like he'll probably end up with silicone or titanium, he's hard on his hands and goes rock climbing regularly. I made him a little turquoise and silver beaded bracelet a couple of months ago and just realized that the beads are nowhere close to round anymore
I love the idea of giving him one of the 20k California gold bands for him to wear occasionally, though. https://brackenjewelers.com/rare-collections/california-gold-wedding-bands
Good news, I still like her!
Two videos with all of my diamond jewelry today:
Maybe it's because I'm blonde and my phone camera lens is dark but I never see as much contrast and darkness as I do in these photos and videos. But I definitely see the big facets turning on and off like in the videos, which is just so fun to watch!
You may want to google the dangers of a titanium band, especially if he's a rock climber. Titanium seems to be particularly dangerous to hands that have swollen, and emergency personnel sometimes can't remove them.TI feel like he'll probably end up with silicone or titanium, he's hard on his hands and goes rock climbing regularly.
