How to Choose a Yellow Gold Diamond Ring

Yellow gold is a popular, versatile ring metal, well-suited for various occasions. The yellow tone of the ring complements many skin tones, adding that statement piece to any outfit, whether that is for work, an evening dinner, a Saturday shopping trip or a lavish wedding look. Shining Diamonds explores what to consider when choosing a yellow-gold diamond ring. 

Consider the Shape Against Your Yellow Gold Ring

When buying your yellow gold ring, consider the diamond shape you choose. Round-cut diamonds are a popular shape to select for your yellow-gold band. The yellow gold and round-cut diamond showcases the stone’s vivacious sparkle. Oval and emerald cuts are shapes that bring a contemporary touch to the traditional yellow-gold band. If you are unsure what shape you like with your ring, speak to one of our friendly consultants at our London, Brighton or Birmingham showrooms.

Diamonds or Gemstones?

Selecting whether you want a yellow gold diamond ring or a gemstone ring is entirely up to you. While diamonds look stunning on a yellow-gold ring, many gemstones also work well on a yellow-gold ring whether you want to create a contemporary rub over a fancy-shaped diamond ring, a vibrant emerald ring or a vintage detailed blue sapphire yellow gold piece, you know you will not be short of options with this popular metal choice. 

Consider the Stone’s Colour Grade

The diamond’s colour grade and ring setting type can be crucial for making the perfect ring. The diamond can seem more yellow when set in a yellow-gold setting. If you have selected a colourless D-F graded diamond for your engagement ring you may want to check the setting to make sure the yellow gold is not reflecting through the diamond too heavily, as this can create the illusion that the diamond is not colourless. Typically, a white diamond with an H-graded colour can sometimes be a great choice in a yellow-gold setting as you will not see the colour change so drastically and you will have a huge price difference between an H-graded diamond compared to a colourless diamond. You should always double-check and compare a few different colour grades in a yellow-gold setting to see what you would prefer.

You Want a Ring That Lasts a Lifetime

While jewellery trends come and go, your yellow gold ring will remain timeless for decades. Therefore, this makes it a great choice if you want a ring that can be passed down to generations as a family heirloom. Over time, your children and children’s children can appreciate the beauty of your yellow gold ring.
