Hello MIA, welcome. We will enable you like nothing else on Earth, don't worry!

Just one point: you may want to take a slightly different approach and get yourself a "real" yellow diamond, perhaps in W-X/Y-Z before you "graduate" to stronger colours and trade in your first ring. It would be more practical than trying to find a yellow that fits the size and proportions of your setting - finding yellows that are well cut and fairly priced is quite a bit harder than getting colourless diamonds in specific sizes and shapes (and even then...)

I second that motion:  the lower colors are nice to start with and the setting can be designed to make the diamond look more yellow (i.e. 18 Kt yellow gold).  Having white gold or platinum or white diamonds around it can bring out the color, even in the lower stones, just like the ring you posted in another thread.

I also have a Y-Z radiant that is set with 18 kt Yellow gold.  The color looks more saturated with the yellow gold.

I think this will go down in history as one of the DBL classics. I have seldom seen a bezel so well balanced and fitting the overall design.

Hey Mia!  Welcome to the (diamond) crazy house.  We will enable at will and whim.  Still, I agree with the earlier diagnoses.  Buy a lighter yellow diamond and trade up to what you ultimately want.  DBL trade up policy is insanely good.  You may find that the setting you love today won' really 'go' with your ultimate stone.  Here, there is some leeway to play and define your ultimate ring.

Sorry, threadjack not intended. But, you can see that a Y-Z has nice color to it, and when set in 18 KT yellow gold, the color appears to be even more saturated. 

No, no hand shots.  Maybe some day...

Daf, that stone looks like a FLY, more saturated than most Y-Z's...did you ever post pictures?  I'd love to see how you mounted it.  

Haha I love OMC right out of the gate with some great advice. He never lets us down does he?!

Welcome MIA-
I'm pretty new here too and have had noting but a warm welcome. Can't wait to see what floats your boat style wise.

What kind of setting are you looking at?? Also what kind of stone i.e. color, clarity,cut etc. etc.?

You guys make me blush... really.  I obviously love her and I wasn't even into bezels until Mrs. M started talking more about them.

I admit DAF I am jealous of your yellow collection you have already.  That stone is just a great addition.

Thank you everyone for your warm welcome.
I´m such a push over, you´ve already convinced me to find a lighter yellow and work my way from there. Those pics of a YZ are nothing like I could have imagined!!
And that bezel setting posted? OMG that´s heaven!
Actually my ideal ring for a long time was one of the tiffany bezette yellows. I just adore them. But lately I´ve found myself thinking that if I´m finally going to get my yellow I want something a little bit more sparkly, flashy....blingy, I guess.
I only wear yellow gold because it looks better on my olive complexion and I´ve definitely decided that I need some of those beautiful claw prongs. I can´t look at them enough.
I´m not really sure right now which way to go. I love three stone rings and yet since I decided to forgo the engagement ring back when I got married, I kind of feel like I´d love a beautiful solitaire  that i can one day give to my daughter.
The only thing I know is YELLOW! YELLOW!
 

Now don't you worry...just take your time looking and the one that makes your heart "sing" the most will shine through eventually.  Don't worry about gettting the "perfect" ring...because their all "perfect" in their own way!  And of course, over time, we both might have that halo and three stone rings that sparkles and flashes bling all around!!!     (Looking and dreaming is half the fun!)
