Renowned for its warm, lustrous hue, yellow gold has long been a favourite choice for jewellery, celebrated for its timeless elegance and classic appeal. It is typically a mix of pure gold with copper and silver. The higher the gold content (measured in karats), the richer and softer the colour will be. The composition includes:
- 24K gold: 99.9% pure gold - very yellow, but soft.
- 18K gold: 75% gold, 25% alloy - durable and richly coloured.
- 14K gold: 58.5% gold, 41.5% alloy - stronger, paler yellow, and more affordable.
- 9K gold: 37.5% gold, 62.5% alloy - highly durable, lightest in colour, and the most budget-friendly option.

What are the benefits of choosing a yellow gold engagement ring?
Yellow gold is durable, elegant, and highlights the brilliance of diamonds beautifully. It pairs well with any ring design and diamond shape making it versatile across engagement ring styles. It’s one of the most timeless choices for couples seeking classic elegance. Many clients also appreciate how yellow gold develops a soft patina over time, adding character to the ring. This makes it a meaningful choice for those who love diamond jewellery that grows more beautiful with age.
How does yellow gold compare to other gold options?
Yellow gold vs white gold rings is a common debate. Yellow retains a classic appeal, while white gold offers modern sophistication. Rose gold is romantic and contemporary, showing the diversity of engagement rings available in our collection. Each metal offers certain benefits depending on your style preference and skin tone. For those seeking timeless charm, yellow gold remains the most enduring choice.
How does 18K yellow gold compare to 24K yellow gold?
18K yellow gold offers the perfect balance of beauty and durability, containing 75% pure gold blended with other metals for added strength, making it ideal for engagement rings that are worn daily.
In contrast, 24K gold is pure gold, with a richer, more vibrant yellow hue, but it is softer and more prone to scratching or bending. While 24K gold is often reserved for investment pieces, 18K gold is generally preferred for engagement rings, wedding rings and other fine jewellery due to its strength, resilience, and lasting elegance, ensuring your ring remains as radiant as the love it represents.
What options are available for yellow gold engagement rings?
We offer 18K yellow gold as the most popular choice, balancing durability with sparkle. Explore our collection to view options across timeless and modern engagement ring styles. Some clients also opt for 14K as a more affordable yet durable option. Book an appointment with our consultants, who will guide you through the differences so you can select with confidence.
Which centre stones look best with yellow gold diamond rings?
Solitaires with an oval diamond, round, or emerald cut look stunning. Many clients choose yellow gold diamond rings to enhance brilliance and highlight sparkle. Coloured stones, such as sapphires or rubies, also look striking against yellow gold. The warmth of the metal complements both traditional and modern designs beautifully.

From engraving initials to selecting special diamonds, the process is entirely personal. Every bespoke creation is made to match your unique taste and timeless style by our master Hatton Garden jewellers.
Is yellow gold more expensive than other metals?
Not necessarily. Yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold generally cost about the same when they have the same gold purity (for example, 18K or 14K). The difference in colour comes from the metals mixed with the gold, which have only a small effect on price. However, platinum is typically more expensive than gold. It’s denser and usually used in higher purity, so more material is required to make the same piece of jewellery.
Overall cost can still vary depending on design, craftsmanship, and maintenance. For example, white gold rings often need periodic rhodium plating to maintain its bright white finish, which adds to its upkeep cost over time.
