I've nothing helpful to add. I just wanted to say I love your jewelry collection!

I am a yellow gold person too My e-ring is yellow gold with micropave diamonds and I think it looks gorgeous. To me the diamonds glitter and stand out more as they don't get lost in the color of the white gold or palladium, imho of course Of COURSE I drool over the non-yellow gold rings with pave I see around here, I just prefer yellow gold for myself.

Here is a picture of my square brilliant Amora with micropave diamonds on the sides:

That one is gorgeous Nikki! I wish there was a firther away shot though, to see the stones in the metal from a distance. I love the way the side stones are set too. What is that called?

Thanks RaiKai, I can´t believe I´m as old as I am and had never heard about Undertones. I´m not big into make up or fashion, or maybe I just live under a rock :-)

But i do have to say that all your yays and nays on wearing colors are right on for me, so I guess I do have a warm skin tone and never realized it. Cool to know, I think i´ll do a little more research on this!

It looks best with people with warm undertones. This has nothing to do with how fair or dark you are! I see people often say "I am pale so yellow is no good" or "I am olive skinned so yellow looks best". No, it all has to do with the UNDERtones! You can be pale with warm undertones, or very dark with cool undertones, and vice versa!

I am pasty pale as a natural redhead (e.taylor is also a redhead with pale skin!) but my undertones are warm and yellow metals look best. Yellow metals brighten up my skin, warm it up. My husband is constantly telling me how great I look in yellow gold. White metals wash me out. They make me look cold and clammy! It is just like wearing earthtone fabrics on me (awesome) or jewel colours (ick), or browns and other earthy colour makeups (smashing) or pastels and bright colours (clown like).

Cool undertones look best with white metals.

I have learned that only 10% of the population has warm undertones!

most of my jewelry is rose gold... which would give you a better idea of how any given piece would look in yellow gold, i would think, than trying to imagine it in yellow, based off of looking at it in white gold...

if that makes sense?

such as:




with a yellow band:

yellow gold + pave = bling
