Rose gold or no rose gold???

[diamondringlover]

That is the question....I am probably going to go with the U prong silver double claw setting by Daniel M to set my pink tourmaline Now here is my problem should I use rose gold for the "head" I cant decide to go with rose gold/silver or all silver...what do you all think? it is a 6.8mm cut by Barry.

here is a really crappy picture of the stone:

Yes to rose! I'm sure you all are sick of me posting my ring but I want to drive home the point that it's a pretty combination!

Here's another one in silver and RG where the stone is a bit closer in color to yours.

 

[Arcadian]

Rose gold yes! I think it would prop up the pink in the stone nicely.

Kelpie, we could never get sick of that stunning ring

Arcadian, I agree, I think it will enhance the pink.

I just love the rose gold/silver combination, but I was afraid the stone would get lost in the setting a friend told me thats what she thought....but I personally think it will enhance it, the stone is actually more pink like the picture on my big fat hand, so I think it will work.

I am leaning strongly toward the rose gold/silver

If you have something in your home around the same color...say a penny, then put it next to the stone to see what it looks like. It would of course have to be a nice new shiny penny. Rose gold though can be different from each vendor but at the very least you get a better idea before you commit. (i admit, i'm still in the rose gold corner though )

I actually have a rose gold ring and I have one of Brian Garvin's rose gold pin's, so I do love rose gold

I vote yes to the rose gold!

 

[brandy_z28]

rose gold for sure!

 

[JewelFreak]

Another vote for rose gold. It would bring out the color of the stone so well. Nice one!

Thank you everyone, you all confirmed what I knew all along, rose gold and silver it is I will have to get with them and get the ball rolling I guess it will take around 4 weeks to get it done, that will be real close to my anniversary, so happy anniversary to me!!!

 

[Indylady]

Rose gold please!!

A little late, but count me in the rose gold camp too. I have a rhodolite garnet of similar color set in rose gold, and I think it looks fantastic.

 

[tefutefu]

I loooove rose gold so there's where my vote goes

Kelpie, those rings look absolutely fantastic

 

[ShellaMigg]

Rose gold is nice but real roses can be so lovely if someone would give me one.

 

[dragonfly411]

I vote definitely yes to rose gold!

 

[diamondringlover]

Thanks everyone, I am going to put my order in by the end of this week (after I get paid lol) I will share the ring once they get it done, I am excited about this, I have had the stone for some time and wasnt sure what to do with it as the price of gold is really high, so this is a nice way to have my cake and eat it to, lol.

Sorry I'm late to this thread but whenever I see the "shall I use rose gold" question I want to scream NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

However, even as the forum rose gold hater, I have to say that there are some gems that really work well with rose gold and yours is one of them. Just before you think I'm running a fever and have gone delirious, I need to add that the colour of the rose gold will be critical. If it's too yellow/copper it may look very wrong so I'd insist on having a much more delicate rose gold.

I think, looking at your photos - and assuming they're a fair representation of the colour you see, white gold/white metal of any sort might make the gem look very cold and icy so I think you're 100% right in the direction your thinking of.

You watch, TL will be along now to faint (it's a running joke between us about my rose gold aversion)!
