I like yellow gold jewelry and am looking for an engagement ring. I've noticed that the rings all have white gold prongs holding the diamond, even the yellow gold ones. Can you tell me the reason for this?
The reason jewelers use the white gold heads when they set the diamonds, is so the diamond will look whiter. Sometimes yellow gold will add a yellow cast to a diamond.
