Here's an interesting data plot of diamond pricing (from Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/5u05br/diamond_prices_by_carat_and_clarity_oc/) of http://diamondse.info/ a few years ago. The horizontal line of no-data at ~$1500 is because the web scraper missed a page. And someone did the same data set based on colour:

Lets talk rings/mounting - found a local designer that I think will work out (same style cohesion), but have a couple of questions. Looking at an emerald (rectangular emerald cut) as the main stone. In keeping with a traditional deco style, been looking at a white gold band but was heavily cautioned about that due to differences in material strength/breakage. So I'm wondering/researching about the alternatives were mentioned: platinum or palladium, or doing a two tone setup of the gem mount in gold, and the main ring in white gold. These viable or just alternatives that just aren't that ideal? Also is it common that the designer sends out the ring/gem to be mounted by someone else?

Claes Oldenburger posted:Setting emeralds in any metal comes with risk, but white gold slightly more so. It's tougher to move and requires more force to get it to do things compared to setting in yellow/rose golds and platinum group metals. It's possible, and gets done often, the designer is just being extra careful because of the risk associated with the design. Just as a followup, the designer found a different setter who had experience in doing emeralds in white gold, and the ring came out amazingly and we're both very happy with it. lovely cell phone pic, doesn't properly show the level of engraved detail on the sides.
