How to choose
Choosing a 18K yellow gold ring
14K or 18K gold?
Both are solid gold. 14K is 58.3% gold and a little harder. 18K is 75% gold, with a richer color and a slightly higher price.
| 14K | 18K | |
|---|---|---|
| Gold content | 58.3% | 75% |
| Feel | Harder, everyday | Richer color |
Which diamond shapes suit yellow gold?
Warm gold flatters round, oval and cushion diamonds, and makes emerald cuts look vintage.
Will a wedding band match?
Choose the same karat and color for a perfect match. Mixing metals is also popular: a rose band beside a white gold ring, for example.
