About Our 18ct Yellow Gold Engagement Ring Collection
18ct yellow gold is a classic choice for engagement rings, prized for its warmth and the way it enhances a wide range of diamond cuts and settings. It suits a wide range of skin tones and complements non-round cuts such as oval, pear, marquise and radiant particularly well. At 18 carats, the gold content is 75% pure, giving the metal its characteristic depth of colour.
Our 18ct yellow gold diamond engagement rings span solitaire, three stone, halo, cluster and rub-over settings, with both natural and lab-grown diamonds available across the collection. Several designs also feature coloured gemstones including ruby, sapphire, emerald and opal, either as the central stone or alongside diamonds.
Yellow gold was the dominant metal for engagement rings for centuries before white gold and platinum rose to prominence in the early 20th century. It has seen a strong revival in recent years, driven by a renewed appreciation for warmer tones and vintage-inspired designs. Some designs combine yellow gold with white metal settings, a traditional technique that uses the contrast between the two metals to enhance the appearance of the central stone.
