In the end she went with a darker colour than I would have chosen, and a different one from her initial thought
I hadn't thought about it like that, I initially assumed she'd want a silver one but after I strategically showed her an episode of antiques roadshow with someone getting a some Cartiers valued, she said "ohh the gold, it would look much better with my skin tone!".
Best not to assume, everyone is correct, thanks.
Re: Boxes.
There seems to be two main styles, that I'll call cushion and mount for want of correct terms ;
cushion
and mount
There seems to be a lot of fakes from china, and mostly they are cushion style (presumably as their easier to make) So I think mount is a safer bet...

This is what I did with my OH's GP. In the end she went with a darker colour than I would have chosen, and a different one from her initial thought. Overall the final one was the correct choice.
Plus she enjoyed the process.
