Hi everyone!
Start with a diamond that has a bit of body color.
GIA called it K.

In the above photo it looks totally colorless.
IN the photo below I can notice the slight tint.


The same holds true in real life.
Diamonds' appearance changes based on many different factors- ambient light chief among them.
Let's remember though that a D color's appearance will also change based on the light under which you view it.
I love D colors.
You can certainly see what the bru-haha is about- a totally colorless diamond has a certain type of beauty unlike anything else.
Of course, I'd say that a K does too.


Anyway, one day I said to myself, "Self- you should set a K next to some yellow trills to see how it looks"

See, using a D next to yellow trills is a no brainer, because the contrast will be maximum.
What if the contrast was slightly less?


ITEM #: R1378
Platinum and 18Karat Yellow Gold Diamond Ring

STONE 1:
  WEIGHT: 2.16ct
  SHAPE: Cushion Cut
  COLOR: K
  CLARITY: VVS2
  MEASUREMENTS: 8.36 x 7.20 x 4.72 mm
  TOTAL DEPTH: 65.6%
  TABLE SIZE: 61%
  POLISH: VG
  SYMMETRY: VG
  FLUORESCENCE: NONE
  GIA REPORT #: 15063159

SIDE STONES:
  TOTAL WEIGHT: 0.60cts
  QUANTITY: 2
  SHAPE: Trilliant
  COLOR: Fancy Yellow
  CLARITY: SI1

I think it proves the point that even if the contrast is softer, yellow diamonds look quite nice as side diamonds.....

A warmer center looks better IMHO, a whiter one just looks...odd?

I have to agree EMJ!!! Wow, I have looked at that cushion a few times, and I must say I didn't give it a fair chance.  It's lovely!!! I think a WHITE center would have looked ok, but warmer it is!!!

  Confused42 I would not have believed it until I have seen the pics.  As always David you never cease to amaze me!    If I didn't know it myself, I think you are really liking setting yellow sidestones next to a white center.    Always enjoy seeing the finished product........it somehow seals the deal!~Ronda

YES!!!!

I love that ring. The K color looks fabulous with the yellow sides! I'm not sensitive to color, but even if I was, I'd still love it! I think the yellow sides makes the center stone appear whiter. I think this is a better look than using colorless sidestones----that would be too noticeable & would clash.
