Yellow Gold Engagement Rings

Yellow gold is a timeless and sophisticated choice when it comes to engagement rings. 

Highly versatile, yellow gold has a warm lustre that suits all skin tones, and pairs well with diamonds and other coloured gems. Explore the range at Michael Hill, from a yellow gold engagement ring with a regal sapphire, to a standalone diamond in a yellow gold solitaire engagement ring, you’ll find a gorgeous contrast between yellow gold and its gemstones. Its tones also add depth to warmer stones. 

Yellow gold has a soft romantic feel that’s helped maintain its popularity for decades, and is always a good choice for your engagement ring and wedding bands.

A yellow gold engagement ring can represent grandeur, prosperity, and cheer. Its warmth brings vintage cool, a modern sensibility or a deep sense of tradition to its wearer. 

As yellow gold has evolved over the years, so too has the symbolism behind it. Yellow gold was favoured by the pharaohs, emperors and kings of ages past, and seen as the ultimate status symbol, signifying wealth, power and success. In modern times, yellow gold has come to signify warmth, purity and romance, as well as opulence. 

Most importantly, your engagement ring in yellow gold should symbolise the deep love and commitment between you and your partner.

White and yellow gold engagement rings are both beautiful and popular choices, both offering a stunning option for your most precious jewellery. 

Yellow gold has a wide appeal thanks to its beautiful warm tones. Suiting all skin types, yellow gold will look beautiful on its own, or paired with diamonds and coloured gemstones.

White gold also suits all skin tones and complement all types of coloured gemstones. Thanks to its rhodium plating, white gold is a strong and durable precious metal, making it more resistant to scratches. 

When it comes to engagement rings, both white gold and yellow gold have universal appeal. Before deciding between the two, try on a few rings to see which one better fits your personal style.
