Are 18ct Yellow Gold Round Engagement Rings Expensive?
Round diamonds are typically more expensive than other shapes due to the cutting process, which results in more material waste, and their high demand globally. When paired with 18ct yellow gold, the investment reflects both the quality of the diamond and the luxurious metal, making these rings a worthy symbol of everlasting love.
Why Are Round Diamond Engagement Rings So Popular?
Round diamonds have been the hallmark of engagement rings for decades, thanks to their unparalleled brilliance and timeless charm. Popularised in the 20th century, the round cut’s precise proportions maximise sparkle, creating a dazzling effect that makes it the preferred choice for classic and modern designs alike.
Best Ring Styles for Round Diamonds in 18ct Yellow Gold
Solitaire: A simple, elegant setting that highlights the diamond's brilliance and pairs seamlessly with the warm glow of yellow gold.
Halo: Surround the central round diamond with smaller stones to enhance its size and sparkle while adding vintage-inspired charm.
Diamond-Set Band: Rows of diamonds along the shoulders create extra brilliance and a luxurious touch to the overall design.
Do Round Diamonds Appear Larger Than Other Shapes?
Round diamonds tend to have a more compact appearance compared to elongated shapes like ovals or pears of the same carat weight. This is due to their carat weight being distributed under the crown rather than across the surface. However, the exceptional fire and scintillation of the round brilliant cut ensure that its brilliance outshines other shapes, creating a striking visual impact.
Why Pair Round Diamonds with 18ct Yellow Gold?
The warm tones of 18ct yellow gold beautifully enhance the brilliance of a round diamond, creating a striking contrast that emphasises the diamond’s sparkle. Additionally, yellow gold is durable and hypoallergenic, ensuring the ring retains its beauty for generations to come.
