D Color Emerald Cut in Platinum vs. G Color OMC in 18K Yellow Gold — which one do you prefer?
Here are two certified diamonds with very different vibes.
One is a D color emerald cut diamond set in platinum, and the other is a certified G color old mine cut diamond set in 18K yellow gold.
Which do you prefer — a very white, icy diamond, or a warmer diamond with a softer tone?
We can’t deny that platinum really makes a diamond appear whiter and brighter. On the other hand, 18K yellow gold already has such a warm tone, and when paired with a G color diamond, the whole ring feels noticeably warmer.
In sunlight, I would even say the G color diamond gives off a very light champagne tone, although it is still a very subtle warmth.
Normally, the difference between D and G color diamonds is not extremely dramatic, but because of the contrast from the metal settings, these two rings look surprisingly different.
Which one would you choose? I’d love to know your thoughts!
