What makes yellow gold appealing for an engagement ring?

Pure gold is yellow in its natural form, no additional alloys necessary. The purity of this metal’s chemical composition makes it hypoallergenic and reduces maintenance requirements. Yellow gold also tends to compliment those with warm skin tones and darker features such as hair and eye color.

How can I care for my yellow gold band?

Many ring shoppers choose yellow gold bands not only for their eye-catching appearance but also for their strength and durability. Regularly caring for a yellow gold band engagement ring can ensure it maintains its quality and lasts for decades to come. Cleaning and polishing a yellow gold band are two ways to preserve its quality over time. To clean your yellow gold band engagement ring, simply combine warm water with your choice of detergent-free soap and use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush your band. When combined with sporadic professional polishing, your yellow gold band engagement ring will almost certainly last a lifetime.

The oval cut diamond has earned, and maintained, its popularity for good reason. This elongated diamond shape provides abundant finger coverage with a longer length measurement than other fancy-shaped diamonds. Despite the generous finger coverage, the oval cut diamond appears delicate and dainty with a slimming effect on the finger. Oval cut diamonds with a higher ratio of 1.4:1 to 1.6:1 are more popular with our clients, providing more finger coverage and a narrower appearance. The most popular setting for oval engagement rings is a yellow gold solitaire band.
