Yellow Gold Diamond Engagement Rings

Yellow gold creates a warm contrast that enhances the brilliant white sparkle of the diamond, offering a style that is both classic and timeless. Alloyed at 18k (750/1000), it combines exceptional durability with a luminous color that stands the test of time. This marriage between the purity of the diamond and the warmth of yellow gold perfectly symbolizes the balance between tradition and elegance to celebrate an engagement.

All diamond shapes complement yellow gold beautifully, but certain cuts create particularly harmonious effects. The round brilliant diamond maximizes sparkle and offers a timeless style, while cushion or oval cuts bring a vintage touch that pairs magnificently with the golden warmth of the metal. Princess or emerald shapes suit more modern and geometric aesthetics.

The diamond embodies the eternity and invincibility of love through its exceptional hardness (10/10 on the Mohs scale), the highest among all gemstones. Its formation under extreme pressure over billions of years symbolizes the strength and purity of commitment. The birthstone for April, it represents clarity, sincerity, and the promise of an unbreakable bond.

Absolutely. 18k yellow gold (750/1000) offers the perfect balance between purity and strength for daily wear. Its alloy with silver and copper makes it robust enough to withstand everyday demands, while maintaining a warm and authentic color. At Mayuri, every ring comes with a 2-year warranty and can be polished in our workshop to restore its original brilliance.

Yellow gold creates a natural color harmony that beautifully showcases G-H color diamonds, offering excellent value. Unlike white gold, which can emphasize warm tones, yellow gold harmoniously integrates them within its golden reflection. Mayuri diamonds of VS-VVS quality at G-H minimum offer brilliant whiteness that contrasts magnificently with the warmth of the precious metal.

The solitaire ring features a single center diamond that captures all attention, symbolizing the uniqueness of love and offering a refined, timeless style. The pavé ring surrounds the center stone or setting with small set diamonds, creating maximum brilliance and a luxurious effect. The choice depends on your aesthetic preferences: minimalist elegance of the solitaire or generous sparkle of pavé.

Mayuri can create your personalized composition upon request.

Diamond quality is based on the 4Cs international standards: Carat (weight), Color, Clarity, and Cut. Mayuri diamonds feature VS to VVS clarity (inclusions invisible to the naked eye) and G-H minimum color (brilliant white). The cut, often overlooked, determines brilliance: our diamonds are cut to optimize their fire and sparkle, ensuring an exceptional stone.

Vintage and Art Deco styles are experiencing a remarkable resurgence for their unique character and timeless elegance. These creations stand out through refined details: hand engraving, geometric motifs, milgrain settings, or intricate halos. Yellow gold particularly enhances these aesthetics by recalling the golden age of jewelry, while offering a distinctive alternative to contemporary designs.

Mayuri diamonds come from ethical and traceable sources, primarily from Botswana, South Africa, and Canada, renowned for their responsible extraction standards. We prioritize channels that respect human rights and environmental standards, with over 80% recycled metals in our creations. Each diamond can be certified upon request, guaranteeing its traceability and authenticity.

Mayuri guides you in creating a unique piece that reflects your story. The bespoke process includes:

• Diamond selection: shape, size, quality according to your budget
• Setting design: solitaire, halo, pavé, vintage
• Personalization: setting style, engraving, custom dimensions
• Finishing: polishing, rhodium plating if desired

Each creation is crafted in our intimate workshops or RJC-certified ateliers.

Yes, an 18k yellow gold engagement ring with a diamond represents a lasting investment that spans generations. Gold retains its intrinsic value and can be recast, while the diamond, the hardest stone in the world, does not deteriorate over time. The combination of a timeless precious metal and an eternal gemstone makes this piece a precious family heirloom as much as a symbol of love.
