Enduring, eye-catching and gleaming with natural golden tones, yellow gold cubic zirconia engagement rings are a favorite amongst those who are to be betrothed. Since the advent of advanced gold alloy mixing, yellow gold engagement rings have had to compete against white gold, rose gold and even pink gold variants. Nonetheless, yellow gold engagement rings such as those made from cubic zirconia have held their ground and still command a loyal following. The sumptuous colour of the gold generates warmth and gives off a subtle glow. Even though it has been around for centuries, yellow gold remains a favorite of jewelry makers and is used to create a majority of the fine jewelry on the market today, and not just for engagement rings and wedding bands.

Yellow gold cubic zirconia engagement rings are instantly recognisable as gold unlike white gold bands which can only be distinguished from platinum or even silver upon closer inspection. The variations in gold alloy colors in fact has allowed for ring designers to mix them into wonderful multiband creations that contrast the different hues in sometimes spectacular fashion.

Such two tone and even three tone ring designs make for unique cubic zirconia engagement rings that are the best of both worlds. You don’t have to settle on just one single particular color of gold and they look great!

Yellow Gold Cubic Zirconia Engagement Rings by Band

Like the vast majority of gold jewelry, 100% pure 24 karat bullion is not used to fashion yellow gold cubic zirconia engagement rings. Pure gold, rather, is used generally for investment bullion purposes such as in the 24k American Gold Buffalo coin. Furthermore, within the US, lower purities such as 22 and 20 karat gold alloys are also not commonly popular. The most precious gold alloys readily available commercially in the US are in fact 18kt, 14kt and 10kt purities.

As the name suggests, 18k yellow gold cubic zirconia engagement rings are struck from 18k gold and are amongst the most valuable gold jewelry you can purchase because of the high bullion content of the alloy.

14k yellow gold cubic zirconia engagement rings on the other hand are struck from 58.3% pure gold and occupy the half-way point between more expensive 18kt gold rings and more affordable 10kt ones – all other things being equal.

The bands used to construct 10k yellow gold cubic zirconia engagement rings contain just over the minimum amount of gold by percentage required to be considered a form of gold as per US jewelry standards.

In order to create these various purities of yellow gold engagement rings, metals such as silver, zinc and copper are mixed with the gold. Naturally where all other things are equal, the lower purity bands are cheaper than the higher purity bands.

Yellow Gold Cubic Zirconia Engagement Rings by Cut

Like any cubic zirconia engagement ring, all stone cuts are available on yellow gold bands. Amongst the most popular are the princess-cut, the round-cut, the emerald-cut and the asscher-cut. All look great on a yellow gold band and it is simply a matter of choice as to which one you should choose.

Princess cut yellow gold cubic zirconia engagement rings are trendy, fashionable and modern whereas round-cut yellow gold cubic zirconia engagement rings, fashioned with a traditional round-cut stone, are timeless.

Yellow Gold Cubic Zirconia Engagement Rings by Carat

Given that CZ is so affordable, rather than wasting time with quarter carat and half carat stones, go straight for the kill and enter the synthetic gemstone market with a 1 carat beauty. These 1 carat yellow gold cubic zirconia engagement rings are sized to replicate a 1 carat diamond.

And if you are not the shy type, scale up to a 2 carat yellow gold cubic zirconia engagement ring or even 3! Price is not as limiting a factor when you buy CZ as it is with diamond.

Yellow Gold Cubic Zirconia Engagement Rings by Type

When it comes to styles of engagement rings, common choices are the classic solitaire, solitaires with sidestones, three-stone and even vintage yellow gold cubic zirconia engagement rings.

Yellow gold CZ solitaire engagement rings are those in which the band is set with a single stone. They can be striking as they bear a strong contrast between the single colorless cz stone and the surrounding yellow band.

A variant of this are yellow gold solitaire with sidestones CZ engagement rings which are made up of not only a central main stone, but also multiple smaller sidestones extending around and decorating the rest of the band.

A further variant is the three-stone yellow gold cubic zirconia engagement ring in which only two ‘shoulder’ stones, rather than several smaller stones, flank the central stone. Such designs are also known as Trilogy rings.

Finally, for those who want a different style altogether, immerse yourself back into the stately home and tophat days of Victorian England. Antique and vintage style yellow gold cubic zirconia engagement rings add a touch of grace and panache.

Choosing a Yellow Gold Cubic Zirconia Engagement Ring

Most importantly, remember who you are choosing the ring for. Think about other rings your fiance has commented on or the ones that she wears now. Does she like loud flashy jewelry or understated pieces? Make sure you also know her ring size. However this is not radically important as most rings can be made smaller.

If you want, you can secretly descend on her jewelry box and rummage through her prized possesions. Lookup a ring-sizer from the internet and use it to determine an approximate size.

All in all, yelllow gold cubic zirconia engagement rings are an affordable choice that will stand out and keep you dreaming of the magical day to come.
