The History of Yellow Gold in Jewelry Making

Yellow gold's history in jewelry making dates back thousands of years, with its warm glow symbolizing the sun's power and eternal light. Ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians and Romans, prized yellow gold for its beauty and rarity, often adorning themselves with gold jewelry as a status symbol and a form of protection. For centuries now, yellow gold has been the metal color associated with gold itself. Although white and rose-colored variations exist, yellow is still considered the standard, making it perfect for those wanting something traditional or timeless.

Why Yellow Gold Is the Choice for a Sustainable Engagement Ring

In today's eco-conscious world, choosing yellow gold for your engagement ring goes beyond aesthetics. Its durability and the ability to be recycled make it a sustainable choice. When set with VRAI created diamonds, which are gently grown in America’s Pacific West with a zero-emission process, a recycled yellow gold engagement ring becomes a testament to thoughtful and responsible jewelry design.

Designing Your Perfect Yellow Gold Engagement Ring

The details to take into consideration when it comes to finding the one meant for you.

Choosing the Right Diamond for Your Yellow Gold Setting

The radiant warmth of yellow gold beautifully complements the sparkling brilliance of diamonds. However, not all diamond grades are necessarily the right match for yellow gold. Colorless diamonds (D-F) and even some Near Colorless diamonds (G-I) can be imbued with color from a yellow or rose gold setting. So for those who love yellow gold, consider opting for a diamond with Slight Color (J-L) or choosing a Two-Tone ring with platinum prongs to highlight your colorless center stone.

Customization Options

VRAI offers a range of customization options, allowing couples to create bespoke yellow gold engagement rings that truly symbolize their unique bond. From selecting the diamond's cut and setting to personalizing the band with intimate engravings and pavé details, engagement rings featuring VRAI created diamonds can be made into a unique representation of your love.

Routine Cleaning and Maintenance Tips

To ensure your yellow gold engagement ring retains its luster, regular cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap solution is recommended. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and store your ring in a fabric-lined jewelry box when not worn.

Professional Care

Annual check-ups with a professional jeweler can help maintain the structural integrity of your ring. These sessions can include deep cleaning, prong tightening, and polish restoration, ensuring your ring remains as beautiful as the day it was crafted.
