A round engagement ring is a ring that features a round cut gemstone in the setting. Round cut stones are one of the most sought after because of their inherent brilliance. Each round gemstone is cut to have 58 facets, which means it has more sparkle than other cuts. They are also great at masking any discoloration, so even if you have a slightly less clear diamond in your setting, it will still look radiant.

There are three types of gold you can choose from when shopping at Shane Co.: yellow, rose, or white gold. There is no best choice, it’s up to preference and considerations like personal style and skin tone. Our yellow gold engagement rings are a mix of pure gold and alloy metals like copper and zinc. The proportion of pure gold to other metals in a yellow gold engagement ring depends on the ring’s karatage. For example, 24 karat yellow gold is 99.9% pure gold while 14 karat yellow gold is 58.3% pure gold. Keep in mind that higher gold concentrations may also mean the metal is less durable, which is why many people opt for 14k or 18k when buying yellow gold engagement rings.

Aside from them being incredibly beautiful, here are some benefits of our unique yellow gold engagement rings:

More hypoallergenic than the other two gold colors
Yellow gold has been widely used in history and offers a traditional look well suited for vintage ring styles
Easier to maintain than white or rose gold
Malleable and easily able to be adjusted by jewelers
Complements olive or darker skin tones

Shane Co.’s yellow gold engagement rings can be set with any style and setting you want. There are plenty of options to choose from once you’re ready to start looking. Since you’ve found the metal you want for your setting, the next thing you’ll need to consider is the setting and style you want for your ring. There are many types of gold engagement rings for women including yellow gold pave, vintage, and classic styles. Once you find the perfect style, you’ll want to decide on the cut of your center stone. These can include pear, round, marquise, princess, and more.

Just about any gemstone and diamond will match beautifully with your yellow gold engagement ring. If you are buying a yellow gold diamond ring, you’ll need to keep the 4Cs – color, clarity, cut, and carat weight – in mind when finding the best center stone that fits into your budget. You’ll want to pay special attention to the last C, carat weight, for traditional solitaire ring styles so you can ensure that you proportion your ring correctly.
