Surpassing all trends, the warmth of the yellow gold metal makes it a perfect choice for many ring styles. Considered a classic since time immemorial, it has a distinctive color known for its everlasting antiquity. The rich and bright yellow color compliments the skin tone of all shades, especially being a perfect match for those with a warm tone. Choose from a variety of yellow gold engagement ring settings and create your own yellow gold ring with Friendly Diamonds.
For hundreds of centuries, yellow gold has been the precious metal of choice for almost every type of jewelry. In many cultures, yellow gold is considered the purest substance and when given to a loved one, it signifies that their relationship is pure and holds immense value for each other. Even in modern times, yellow gold jewelry, especially a diamond engagement ring, is considered the emblem of wealth, power, and adulation.
Since gold in its purest form is too soft for everyday wear, it is often alloyed with other types of metals. The most popular alloys of yellow gold are 14 karat and 18 karat. In 14 karat yellow gold, 58.3% of pure gold is mixed with other alloyed metals like copper and silver. The mixing of other alloys helps make it stronger and more durable. 18 karat yellow gold consists of 75% pure gold, while the remaining percentage consists of copper and silver to make it stronger for daily wear. When alloyed, yellow gold, also deemed a traditional beauty, becomes far more resistant to scratches and dents. Many jewelers and individuals prefer the beauty of 14kt and 18kt for their engagement rings because this precious metal not only holds the diamond strongly but also has a warm sheen to it.
When formed in rings of different types of settings, yellow gold engagement ring exudes a warm shine that complements people of every age, gender, and complexion. From simple yet elegant solitaires, heavenly halos, and beautiful bezels to rings that channel a vintage-inspired charm, you can find yellow gold rings that beautify her fingers.
