What color gold to set my new peach pink mahenge garnet?

[userangl28212003]

Hi. I bought a lovely mahenge garnet from earth treasury. I plan on setting it in a setting that does not have diamond accents. Becuase of this I ruled out rose gold because I feel it will blend too much without any contrast of diamonds. It is down to white or yellow. I love the contrast with the white gold, but I feel it might bring out the pinker side, while I love the warmth with it in the yellow gold which I feel might bring out the more peachy side which is what I want. I might be totaly wrong but here are pics in different room lightings. I will try to get some daylight pics on the weekend to see how the stone looks next to each color gold. Please let me know your opinions (i am leaning more towards yellow gold)?

I like it better with yellow gold. It’s very pretty!

Yellow gold for me too! Looks gorgeous and makes the colour pop!

Thanks looks more pink in house lighting so I am Curious to see the more peaChy side in daylight

I'm actually a bit shocked by what doesn't go with rose gold. I had a stone I was 100% committed to thinking it would be perfect in RG and then it just clashed in the strangest of ways.

Another vote for yellow gold. White seems to wash out the stone.

It’s so interesting for me! I’ve just bought a similar stone from the same vendor, but it’s still not here. I can’t wait to get it!

How was your stone described! Peachy-pink? If so, we got very similar stones.

I plan to set it in WG, but I’m curious to see, what you decide. I really love the second picture with WG, but I want to bring out the pink more.

Hi. It was described as peach-pink like a nice padparadscha sapphire. I know he said it was more pink in incasdesent light. I spend most of my work day in a classroom with natural light with big windows as well in my house when the sun is out, so I can't wait to see the more peachy side of it. Unfortunately I go to work in the dark and go home in the dark so I have to wait until saturday to see it in natural daylight.

I vote for YG, although WG looks nice too

Yellow gold if you love the peach! Looks great.

FWIW I prefer the white gold as I LOVE the pink.
But it looks gorgeous with the yellow gold to bring out the peachiness. Beautiful and peachy!
