Yellow Diamond Engagement Rings

If you have recently become engaged or if you are about to become engaged, you may want to get a ring that will be not only gorgeous, but will also be very unique.  Yellow diamond engagement rings certainly fit that description, gorgeous and also very unique.  Want to know more about fancy yellow diamond engagement rings?

Yellow diamonds are the second most common diamond color, right after colorless diamonds.  Not all yellow diamonds are the same yellow color; some people may even think that all yellow diamonds are called “canary” yellow diamonds.  This is not totally accurate.  They are broken down into several major groups: pastel, dark and deep, and vivid and intense.  Pastel, or light yellow diamonds are the least rare and also less expensive than their darker cousins. Canary yellow diamond engagement rings are considered to be in the vivid and intense group and are among the most expensive yellow diamonds.

Something to remember, especially if you are restricted by your budget, is that a lighter yellow diamond will look much darker and richer if it is surrounded by yellow gold.  Don’t worry, even if you prefer white gold, you can get light yellow diamond engagement rings that have a white gold shank, and only the actual prong setting is yellow gold.  That way it will still look like a darker yellow diamond, and the rest of the ring will be the silvery white gold color you love.  Some people naturally prefer the lovely softer tones of light yellow diamonds, so if you do, by all means choose a pastel yellow diamond for your ring.

Because they are not among the most rare of diamond colors, that makes them still affordable for most people.  Very beautiful yellow diamond engagement rings can be found for $2500 and under, in both yellow and white gold.  You may have to shop around, and be aware that not all jewelry stores will carry yellow diamond engagement rings.  Also, if you are interested in vintage jewelry, antique yellow diamond engagement rings can be found at estate sales and also at specialty jewelry stores.  Online jewelers are also a great source for antique yellow diamond rings.  As always, ask to see a gemological certificate for the diamond before you purchase any expensive gemstone jewelry.

Yellow diamonds have long been considered to be very classy and are part of many fashionable women’s jewelry wardrobe.  They will look fabulous with many other types of jewelry, like emerald rings and Pandora bracelets.  From movie stars to First Ladies of the United States, you can find yellow diamonds on the best dressed women, and you can be sure you will are in good company if you love yellow diamond engagement rings!
