Yellow Gold Engagement Rings (18 Carat)

18k Gold Engagement Ring Quality

All our pieces are crafted in 18 carat gold, containing 75% pure gold alloyed with other metals for durability. This balance provides the rich colour you expect while ensuring your engagement ring withstands everyday wear. Each piece carries a UK hallmark as your guarantee of metal purity. The 18k standard is preferred by fine jewellers worldwide for its combination of beauty and strength, making it the ideal choice for a piece you will treasure for a lifetime.

Lab Grown Options

Our lab grown collection offers the same brilliance as mined stones at a fraction of the cost. These are real stones with identical physical and optical properties, created in controlled conditions rather than extracted from the earth. Choosing lab grown means you can often select a larger carat size within the same budget, or invest in a higher quality setting. For couples who value ethics alongside aesthetics, this is something truly meaningful.

Finding the Right Setting

The setting you choose affects both the appearance and practicality of your engagement ring. A solitaire places full focus on the centre stone with minimal metal visible. A halo surrounds it with smaller stones for extra sparkle and perceived size. Shoulder set designs feature stones along the band, catching light from every angle. Consider your lifestyle when making this decision, as some options are better suited to active hands than others. Our collection covers all popular choices.

Pairing With Other Metals

While this collection focuses on one metal colour, many couples mix metals in their jewellery. A gold engagement ring pairs beautifully with a white gold or platinum band for contrast, or with a matching band for a coordinated look. Two-tone designs are also available, featuring a white metal mount to enhance the stone's colour while keeping the warm band. Our team can advise on combinations that work well together.

FAQs

Is gold ok for an engagement ring

Absolutely. Gold has been the traditional choice for centuries and remains one of the most popular metals today. 18 carat offers excellent durability for everyday wear while maintaining its beautiful warm colour.

What is the difference between 18k and 9k

18k contains 75% pure gold while 9k contains 37.5%. The higher content in 18 carat pieces gives a richer colour and is less likely to cause skin reactions. We use 18k for all our pieces in this collection.

Will the colour fade over time?

No. Unlike plated jewellery, solid 18k gold maintains its colour permanently. With proper care, your engagement ring will look as beautiful in decades as it does today.
