How To Pair A Yellow Gold Solitaire Ring

Yellow gold solitaire rings are both timeless and elegant, making them a popular choice for engagement rings. In this blog post, we'll explore how to perfectly pair your ring and give tips on how to make the most of this classic style.

What is a Solitaire Ring?

A solitaire ring features a single center stone, whether it be a diamond or a gemstone. At Lauren B, we consider all single-stone rings with plain bands as solitaire rings. The simplicity of a solitaire setting allows one to show off the brilliance and beauty of your center stone.

At Lauren B, we still consider rings with diamonds on the prongs and/or basket as solitaire rings.

What is Yellow Gold?

Pure gold is yellow in its natural form, no additional alloys necessary. The purity of yellow gold’s chemical composition makes it hypoallergenic and reduces maintenance requirements. While yellow gold is pure, it might still require replating due to everyday wear.

Yellow gold is a great metal choice if you prefer a traditional engagement ring aesthetic, which is certainly increasing in popularity.

Why Yellow Gold?

Yellow gold is a popular choice for those with warmer or neutral skin tones. If you’re not sure if you have a warm undertone, you can check the following:

Do you have green veins on your wrist?

Does your skin tan easily and rarely burn?

Do you have brown, green or hazel eyes and/or brown, red or black hair?

If you answered yes to a combination of these, you have warm undertones and yellow gold would look great on you!

Most Popular Yellow Gold Solitaire Rings

Over the last five years, oval shaped engagement rings have surged in popularity and have easily become the most sought-after shape today. Its elongated shape creates the illusion of greater carat size and gives off plenty of brilliance, giving them a stunning look.

Elongated shapes are trending, with elongated cushions and radiants growing in popularity as well. These cuts offer sophistication and a modern look. Similar to the oval, the slimming effect and the finger and visual size make them a favorable choice.

Selecting the Perfect Wedding Band

When it comes to selecting a wedding band, you’ll need to decide on a metal color. Depending on your preferences and personal style, you may want to match the color of your engagement ring band or you may be thinking outside of the box and end up with a wedding band that’s truly unique.

Since a yellow gold solitaire engagement ring doesn’t have any diamonds on the band, you may want to opt for a simple pave wedding band to add a little sparkle to your stack.

Mixing and matching metals has been really popular lately so why not pair a white gold or platinum wedding band with your yellow gold solitaire ring?
