Shield cut engagement rings in yellow gold featuring VRAI Created Diamonds

Gold is an excellent choice for engagement rings. Most gold engagement rings feature 18k solid gold. Alloying pure gold with other metals is what makes it durable and long-lasting, an ideal for engagement rings. Couples can choose yellow, white, or rose gold for an engagement ring true to their individual style.

It depends on the function of the jewelry design. 18k gold is purer than 14k solid gold, which makes it more valuable and precious. For this reason, many choose 18k solid gold for sentimental fine jewelry, such as engagement rings and wedding bands. For other jewelry, such as necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, slightly more durable 14k solid gold is considered best for everyday wear.

VRAI uses solid gold, never plated or vermeil, so your 18k solid yellow gold engagement ring will not fade or tarnish over time. You should clean your diamond ring on a regular basis, however, to maintain its shine. VRAI also offers annual cleaning in its Lifetime Care Package.

Yellow gold engagement rings are the most popular or best-selling engagement rings. This is because yellow gold is the color most associated with gold itself — making these styles timelessly appealing to all.

Of course! While many choose matching wedding rings to the engagement ring color, a way of creating a bold and dramatic wedding ring set is to mix metal colors. This look is especially popular amongst those who already feature both yellow and white gold in their fine jewelry collection.
