MemberI am debating on arose gold ring but have heard to many jewlers say to stay away (especially since I have a J colored diamond) And then I have other people saying it will help make the diamond whiter. Help, I’m so confused!!! Which one is it???
PS: I am not a fan of the 2 different metals together. So white gold/platinum with rose gold would not be an option for me!
MemberMy ring is all rose gold and the diamond has no discoloration. My diamond is an H, so its pretty close but it also depends on the cut of your diamond and how it reflects. I have heard of people doing all rose gold with white gold on just the prongs. I know you say its not an option, but depending on the setting you want you may not even notice it. Would it bother you more to have an obviously discolored diamond or white gold prongs you hardly notice? You just have to decide what is best for you.
MemberI understand your worry and hesitation, the ring I’m having made at the moment will have a J coloured heart diamond (most would say nightmare due to it being a fancy cut with that colour however with its ideal cut and clarity it didn’t show any colour from the side or top and just looked like it has character). When I went to see it in person I got to put it in a temporary rose gold mount and the lovely lady from Samara James also brought out further examples and I have to say it just made it pop and look white.
Also, take a look around the forum because I have seen quite a few diamonds in this colour range in a setting of rose gold and they look very white and fantastic.
MemberI have diamonds in my halo and they look very white, there is a small dainty diamonds so they are low in color grade.
On the flipside of your question sometimes the Rosegold reflects into my stone, but it’s only in certain lights and it’s literally a reflection, like I can see the prong in reflecting off the stone. But no color from of the rose gold setting ever reflects into my stone.
MemberI always heard the opposite.. for a warmer diamond set them in yellow or rose gold to make it look whiter. Sounds like they just want to sell you a more expensive colorless diamond.

MemberNope! that was a concern of my fiance’s, although I decided I wouldn’t mind if it looked pinkish or whatever. turns out there was nothing to worry about. My diamond looks very white. 
MemberI don’t personally think the rose gold changes the color. Mine is h and it looks white. It doesn’t make it look yellow at all. 🙂
MemberI know you say you aren’t into two metals, but my band is rose gold and the prongs are platinum. You really cannot tell that there are two metals. Our jeweler suggested we do platinum to make the diamond brighter if that was a concern of ours.
MemberI did two tone but definitely got the prongs rose to enhance the white in my emerald. Also because i knew I wanted a rose gold wedding band (the sample band was yellow as shown in picture) I got the two so it looked like a set.
MemberI would just go for the rose gold. I have an asscher cut that’s a G color and it looks awesome in my rose gold setting. Nobody thinks my stone looks “yellow” or anything like that. I think if your stone is well cut you should be fine.
MemberI have a D color set in yellow gold and I honestly never see any sort of reflection. If it’s occuring, I certainly don’t notice.

There are several videos on YouTube where you can see rose gold engagement rings, you might find them helpful as well – here’s one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-BMJcPtg8o
MemberMy diamond is a G and it looks super white in my rose gold setting. I always thought that diamonds “popped” more in rose or yellow gold.
MemberI don’t think so my diamond is a M in color.
