Ha, tell my DD that! She's been drooling over my rings for years and asked if she could have them when she gets married.

I would simply reset the diamond, sell the setting. Trust me, your kids are not really going to want your ring. Tastes change (as you are experiencing).

Maybe just buy a new set?

Pete retired at least a year ago or more! But Huan is still there...

Well it's about your undertone, so clothing color and jewelry color are a part of that. Cool tones look better in silver, warm tones look better in gold. Neutral can do either. I changed from platinum to gold last year too, and it was more about the Halo that I wanted to get rid of, it made the engagement ring feel gaudy and very heavy. I wanted something simpler in style, kept the main diamond only.

I steer clear of anything with a yellow tone - yellow, orange, tomato red, beige. A deep blue/red is good though. Hard to find that shade. And definitely no gold jewelry.

Maybe I should just wear actual silver. Are you guys doing that? It reminds me of being a teen when we couldn’t afford anything but silver.

I thought most people looked better in yellow gold. Personally I have a golden olive complexion that tans very dark in the summer even with sunscreen. I look terrible in white metals. French/german ancestry

I think most do.

I look much better in white metal. Wish I didn't -- I keep wanting to wear yellow gold and then I buy something, and it's a nope -- doesn't look good.

My daughter looks great in yellow gold but we have very different coloring. I stick to the cool colors.

DP. I look horribly washed out and sallow in yellow gold. I always wear platinum or silver. I have a very cool complexion/dark brunette. Winter.
