18k yellow gold and lab-grown diamonds

Choosing a yellow gold lab-grown diamond engagement ring

Yellow gold brings a warm tone to a white lab-grown diamond engagement ring. The designs in this collection use 18k yellow gold, an alloy containing 75% gold, with other metals added to make it suitable for jewellery.

Consider how much of the setting you want to see around the diamond. A simple solitaire highlights the centre stone, a bezel gives it a defined gold outline, and a trilogy creates a broader arrangement across the finger. View the setting from the side as well as above, and compare the available diamond sizes with the band width.

When choosing a wedding band, compare its colour, profile and fit with your engagement ring. A matching yellow gold band can create a coordinated look, but the way the two settings sit together is just as important. Our team can help you assess suitable combinations.

For routine care, use warm water, mild washing-up liquid and a soft brush, then rinse carefully and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and remove the ring before swimming or using household chemicals. If you prefer a pinker metal tone, compare our rose gold lab-grown diamond engagement rings.
