A 9ct yellow gold engagement ring has a soft, warm colour that suits vintage-inspired and everyday styles alike, and it costs less than 18ct. Choose any setting below and we make it to order in 9ct yellow gold with the certified natural or lab grown diamond you pick.
The Colour of 9ct Yellow Gold
9ct yellow gold is 37.5% gold, hallmarked 375. With less pure gold than 18ct it is a paler, softer yellow rather than a deep buttery one. Many people like that it sits easily with other jewellery and with silver-toned watches. Unlike white gold it is not plated, so the colour never wears off.
Diamonds in Yellow Gold
Yellow gold reflects a little warmth into the diamond, so a near-colourless stone in the G to J range looks just as good as a whiter, pricier one. That is another way 9ct yellow gold helps your budget go further. See our natural diamonds and lab grown diamonds.
