Hi everyone!
This is my first time posting, although I have been lurking for quite a while and have really enjoyed learning so much from all of you!
I have a question about settings for K, L, and M color diamonds. My FF will be giving me a 2.8 slightly yellow rb diamond. It is a family diamond and I will of course be thrilled to receive it but I do have some concerns about the yellow tint. The jeweler who will be setting it thinks that GIA would grade it as an L or M and EGL would give it a K. He thinks that it will be graded a VS1 or VS2 depending on who we send it to. I’ve seen it and it’s beautiful, but does have a yellowish tinge in some types of lighting. Is there a way to choose a setting that will minimize the tinge? For example, can I have it set in a 6 prong tiffany style that will raise it to the light and allow it to sparkle more, thus diminishing the tinge to the naked eye? The ring is white in the shade and many types of lighting; it’s just in some natural lighting that it shows the yellow. I know many psers are against setting diamonds of this color in white settings but I have recently developed allergies to most metals and have been told that platinum is my best bet if I am going to be wearing my ring all the time. Sorry for the long post, I hope it makes sense. Thanks in advance for your help!
Ps- I don’t know the cut of the stone, but I can see arrows in the shade. Not sure if this extra info helps, but I thought it might mean that the cut is somewhat decent.

It actually faces up closer to 3 ct. Pricescope purity has gotten to me!
