One more interesting thing to point out:

What do you do for a living? The answer to this question can affect the metal your diamond is set in.

If you use your hands to do much more than type or write (do you work with children? Do you repair anything? Do you work in a lab?), you might want to consider platinum or titanium, which are stronger and more scratch-resistant. As a librarian, I spend my days with paper, and when I found out that higher grades of gold can be damaged by the acids in paper (especially in older books, which my library has a lot of), I opted for pt instead of white gold.
