Yellow diamond engagement ring: a romantic twist

Posted by JacquelinePlatt on January 26th, 2021

More and more people are looking for something slightly different from traditional diamond engagement rings. With a yellow diamond engagement ring, you can add a very unique and romantic sparkle. Because these diamonds are very rare, yellow diamond engagement rings are very rare and will certainly cause some disgust.

All colored diamonds are very rare. In fact, only one in every 10,000 diamonds found in nature has a visible color. During the formation of diamonds, when carbon molecules are subjected to extremely high pressures for thousands of years, other elements are sometimes trapped inside the diamond. In very rare special cases, the content of other elements is just right to give the diamond a distinct color without changing its structure and strength. For yellow diamonds, nitrogen gives the diamond its unique color.

The yellow hue of these diamonds can range from very light yellow to deep and vivid yellow. The lightest yellow grade that is considered a "yellow diamond" is called U-V. The color deepens in the V-W and W-X grades. After these, diamonds begin to have a very deep yellow color and are called "fancy". These fancy yellow diamonds are the most precious for their color depth and vividness, and they are the best choice for yellow diamond engagement rings.

Because yellow diamond engagement rings are so special, extra care needs to be taken to ensure that the unique properties of the diamond stand out and make the best impression. An important factor in this is the cut of the diamond. If the yellow is lighter and more subtle, bright cuts (such as cushion cuts) will better emphasize the color. For darker yellows, the hue is usually vivid enough to look beautiful in any cut. The metal of the belt is another important consideration. Gold can conflict with the color of diamonds, so platinum is a popular choice for yellow diamond engagement rings. Another option is to combine gold with platinum or platinum. If handled properly, a touch of gold decoration can complement the unique color of the diamond.

Yellow diamond engagement rings have recently attracted the attention of the public, especially with many celebrities wearing such glamorous jewelry. However, they are not just for the rich and famous. Colored diamonds can now be made in the laboratory. This means that you can find quality gems at a more affordable price to add a touch of charm and romance to your engagement ring.
