Have you found the woman of your dreams? Are you facing one of the most important days of your life? Are you ready to propose to the woman of your dreams? If so and you are looking for the right engagement ring, then you have come to the right place. Choosing the right engagement ring is a difficult and complicated matter. On the one hand, it depends on the woman’s taste and on the other hand, you probably won’t have endless money at your disposal. To avoid spending a lot of money unnecessarily, I will explain in the next few paragraphs what you should look out for when choosing a classic yellow gold ring with a diamond. After reading this article, you should be able to make a qualified purchase decision and will have saved a lot of money by a few minutes of research. Let’s get started!
What Do All These Letters Mean?
As you may know, one of the most important criteria of a diamond is its color. The color of a diamond is indicated on a scale from D to Z. Did you know that A, B and C have been skipped to avoid confusion with other scales? Crazy, right? The color D of a diamond is a white, virtually colorless diamond. Such diamonds are very rare, difficult to find and extremely expensive. Diamonds of color Z, on the other hand, have a distinct yellowish shimmer and have little in common with the precious jewelry you have in mind for your future fiancée.
Any gradations between them differ minimally in color, the difference between an E diamond and an F diamond is only slight and can only be determined by a specialist with tools as explained on Your Diamond Teacher. Since the beauty of a diamond is, among other things, that it picks up its surroundings and reflects them by reflecting light, the color of a diamond appears different depending on the context in which you see it.
To determine the color of a diamond professionally, the diamonds are therefore placed on a white paper and sample stones of the different color categories are placed next to it for comparison. What I want to explain to you is that you will not be able to distinguish an F diamond from a G diamond if you see it on a woman’s ring. And that is good news for you and your wallet!
Why a Yellow Gold Engagement Ring Is a Good Choice?
If you want your engagement ring to be special, a yellow gold ring in combination with a diamond is a good choice. There are several reasons for this. On the one hand, a gold ring is very classic and highly appreciated by women as an engagement ring. Regardless of whether you choose a solitaire ring or several diamonds, a gold ring is always a good base. Before I come to the second point, let me briefly explain why it still makes a difference whether you choose a solitaire ring or not.
If there is only one diamond on the engagement ring, the diamond will be the eye-catcher. But if you plan to place several diamonds on the ring, for example three with a central diamond, your future fiancée will automatically compare the diamonds. Then it is important to make sure that you don’t save on the middle ring so that this ring is the eye-catcher and shines particularly colorlessly compared to the (possibly smaller) diamonds on the side! The second reason, which should be at least as important for you, is that diamonds mounted on a golden ring take on the color of the yellow gold ring and thus appear yellow golden regardless of the diamond color itself.
