Yellow Gold Engagement Rings
Yellow gold is the quintessential precious metal for engagement rings, still by far the most popular and enduring colour for that special moment. The tradition of a gold engagement ring dates to ancient Rome, with the first known diamond pairing in the 15th century. 'Yellow gold' retains the warm, yellowish hue of natural gold because it is blended with only silver and copper. Many people love the traditional look of yellow gold, particularly when it comes to picking out a classic and timeless engagement ring. The best part about the yellow gold engagement rings is the yellow colour. They stand out in stark contrast against the colourless diamond and are quite attractive to the eye. Additionally, the properties of gold such as durability, hypoallergenic and a safe investment option make the yellow gold engagement ring even more appealing.
Yellow Gold is one of our most in demand metal types when it comes to an engagement ring and has seen a surge in popularity in recent years. The warm tones of this metal are making a comeback in a big way and is perfect for any ring style of your choice, be it a classic solitaire or a more modern hidden halo engagement ring.

Popular Yellow Gold Engagement Ring Styles
Yellow gold engagement rings are eternal, classy and widely popular because of their radiant comfort and multipurpose nature. Yellow gold engagement ring comes in minimal and ornate styles to suit every taste. Among others, the classic gold engagement ring continues to be a top choice. It basically consists of a solitaire diamond placed in 18k or 14k yellow gold. Its minimalism highlights the stone while providing everlasting elegance.
For vintage lovers, halo settings with milgrain accents or artful filigree work awaken old-world elegance and workmanship. As contrast to vintage, modern trends include east-west set ovals, extended marquise cuts, and bezel set diamonds to represent a stylish and modern look. Also, bulky bands and hidden halos are subsequently rising in demand because of their ability to offer boldness without sacrificing subtlety. Moreover, three-stone designs and metal fusion accents put individualization, whereas lab-made diamonds on yellow gold bands appeal to the environmentally conscious. Regardless of the vintage or custom, yellow gold engagement rings provide supreme elegance, suitable for those seeking to blend tradition with modern style.
Pairing Diamonds with Yellow Gold engagement rings
There is no other setting that makes a diamond shine and glow as much as a yellow gold engagement ring would. The rich tone of the metal enhances both the classic and fancy-cut stones, forming a dramatic yet classic contrast. The most common combinations still are round and oval cuts that provide a gentle contrast to the bold glow of yellow gold. In more sophisticated vintage styles, emerald or cushion cuts that have milgrain or halo styles will work.
A diamond ring in yellow gold naturally emphasizes clarity and depth, generally with higher color grades, though almost-colorless stones (G-H) blend amazingly and cost less. Yellow gold engagement rings are also compatible with bezel, prong, or pavé settings which allow the designers to have freedom in both simple and elaborate styles. On a more contemporary note, pairing lab-made diamonds with a gold band engagement ring brings ethical appeal without compromising the refinement. Selecting the right cut and setting of any diamond turns any yellow gold engagement ring into a truly personal statement.
