The Rise of Light Yellow Diamonds in Engagement Ring Trends

In recent years Morgan & Co have seen the trend for engagement ring diamonds shifting towards more unique and non-traditional colours. While white diamonds remain the most popular choice, light yellow diamonds have been gaining popularity in the engagement ring market. These diamonds fall under the M to Z diamond colour range and can even range into canary diamond hues - click here for some additional education which details a diamond colour chart. Yellow diamonds offer a distinct and warm glow, adding an element of sophistication and individuality to the ring. Light yellow diamonds have become increasingly popular with those who want to break away from traditional engagement ring styles and are looking for something unique. Morgan & Co will be delighted to show you their beautiful range of loose yellow diamonds. You can make your complimentary consultation here and meet the bespoke team at their intimate Buderim studio, located half an hour from popular destinations such as Perigian Beach and Noosa

Why Are Light Yellow Diamonds Gaining Popularity?

One of the primary reasons why light yellow diamonds are gaining popularity is because of their uniqueness. Unlike the traditional white diamonds, these diamonds boast a subtle, yet striking, hue that adds an element of uniqueness to the engagement ring. Another reason is the affordability factor, as these diamonds tend to be priced lower than the traditional D to Z diamond colour scale. The canary diamond, which is a type of yellow diamond, has been particularly popular among celebrities, adding to its allure. Furthermore, the versatility of light yellow diamonds allows them to be set in different metals, making them an ideal choice for all engagement ring styles, from vintage to contemporary. Whether you prefer a cushion-cut or a pear-shaped diamond, a light yellow diamond can add an element of interest and character to your engagement ring.

How to Choose the Perfect Light Yellow Diamond for Your Engagement Ring?

When choosing a light yellow diamond for your engagement ring, it's important to consider the diamond's cut, clarity, and carat weight, in addition to its colour. A diamond with an M to Z diamond colour rating will have more of a yellow tint, whereas a diamond with a higher colour rating will have less. You'll want to find the perfect balance of yellow hue that fits your style and budget. Consider also the setting and metal choice for your ring. A yellow gold band can complement the yellow tones in the diamond, while a white gold or platinum band can provide a subtle contrast. Morgan & Co can guide you on choosing the perfect light yellow diamond for your engagement ring. You can make your virtual or in studio consultation here. The Morgan & Co studio is a local jeweller and is based on Australia's Sunshine Coast in Buderim. Morgan & Co is a short drive from Perigian Beach and Noosa

Adding white diamonds to a light yellow centre stone 

One way to add more sparkle to a light yellow diamond engagement ring is by pairing it with white diamonds. The contrast between the two colours can create a stunning effect that will make your ring stand out. However, it's important to choose the right quality of white diamonds to complement your light yellow centre stone. If the white diamonds have a lower clarity or a warmer colour they may not match well with the light yellow diamond and could detract from its beauty. Morgan & Co will help you select the right white diamonds for your engagement ring. Ultimately, it's all about finding the perfect balance and making sure your engagement ring reflects your personal style and tastes. Book your free consultation here to discuss your engagement ring options. 

Do yellow diamonds suit all skin types? 

Yellow diamonds are a versatile option that can flatter any skin tone. However, it's essential to choose the right shade of yellow that compliments your skin tone. If you have warm undertones, choose a yellow diamond with a brown or peachy tint. If you have cool undertones, a light yellow diamond with a hint of green or blue undertones will suit you best. If you're unsure about which shade to choose, visit a jeweller, such as Morgan & Co, who specialises in yellow diamonds, and they will help you select the perfect diamond for your engagement ring.

Another factor to consider when choosing a yellow diamond for your engagement ring is the colour of the metal setting. A yellow gold setting complements the yellow tones in the diamond, while a white gold or platinum setting can make the yellow diamond appear brighter and more vivid.

Ultimately, the most crucial factor when choosing an engagement ring is personal preference. If you love the unique and vibrant look of a light yellow diamond, then it's the perfect choice for you, regardless of your skin tone. Just remember to take the time to choose the right shade, setting, and shape to create the perfect engagement ring that you'll cherish for a lifetime.

Are yellow diamonds cheaper than clear diamonds?

Contrary to what some may believe, the price of a yellow diamond does not necessarily correlate with its colour intensity. Other factors such as carat weight, clarity, and cut quality can also affect the price. However, in general, yellow diamonds can be slightly less expensive than colourless diamonds due to their relative rarity and less demand in the market. Nevertheless, larger or more vividly coloured yellow diamonds can still command a high price, just like any other diamond.

It's important to note that the value of a yellow diamond is still determined by the same 4Cs (cut, clarity, carat, and colour) as any other diamond. In summary, while yellow diamonds can be a more budget-friendly option compared to colourless diamonds, it's important to remember that they are still a valuable and precious gemstone. Ultimately, the value and price of a yellow diamond engagement ring depend on the specific characteristics of the stone, as well as personal preference and style.

Can you buy lab grown yellow diamonds?

Yes, you can absolutely buy lab grown yellow diamonds. These diamonds are made in a laboratory and are essentially the same as natural diamonds, except they are created under controlled conditions. Lab Grown yellow diamonds are becoming increasingly popular as they offer a more affordable option compared to natural yellow diamonds. Additionally, lab grown diamonds are an eco-friendly, ethical, alternative as they don't involve any mining.

One thing to keep in mind is that not all lab grown diamonds are created equal. Morgan & Co Lab grown diamonds are ethical, follow sustainable practices and are of the finest quality. Book your consultation here to find out more. 

Conclusion

Whether you choose a natural or lab grown yellow diamond for your engagement ring, the most important thing is to choose a diamond that speaks to you and your style. At the end of the day, the colour of the diamond should complement your personal taste and be a reflection of your unique love story.

Top Trends in Wedding Rings and How to Style Them

Ever held a wedding ring in your hand? Felt the weight of it, turned it around to catch glimpses of sparkling gems or sleek metal catching the light?

If you have, then you know that this tiny piece of jewellery tells its own tale. Each design choice whispers a love story; each glinting stone is a promise.

But what if we told you that today's top trends in wedding rings are about more than just gold and diamonds? They're increasingly becoming an extension of personal style and individuality - offering couples unique ways to express their bond.

Wondering how your ring finger can get in on this fashion revolution? Well, hang tight as we're about to explore the newest trends sweeping across engagement rings and wedding bands - it's all about blending metals for a contemporary spin, while also cherishing eternity bands that carry deep symbolism.

Mixed Shape Diamond Wedding Bands: The Latest Trend in Bridal Jewellery

When it comes to choosing the perfect wedding ring, today's brides and grooms are spoilt for choice. One of the top trends in wedding rings that has captured hearts all over the world is mixed shape diamond wedding bands. This unique style features a combination of different cuts such as round, baguette, princess cut and more.

The Charm of Mixed Cut Diamonds

A mixed shape diamond band breaks away from traditional uniformity by showcasing an array of diamond shapes on one single band. It's this diversity that adds depth and dimension to your ring making it truly stand out. Whether you prefer a blend of vintage-inspired baguettes with modern round brilliants or love the contrast between marquise and pear-shaped diamonds - there's no limit to how creative you can get with these rings.

Why Choose Mixed Shape Diamond Bands?

Beyond their stunning aesthetics, mixed shape diamond bands are also a practical choice. They offer greater flexibility in terms of budget as you can opt for smaller diamonds of different cuts which could be more affordable than one large stone. Moreover, they're an excellent way to incorporate family heirloom stones or personalise your ring with birthstones.

No matter what your style preference is - whether it's bold and extravagant or simple and chic - there's a mixed shape diamond band that perfectly encapsulates your love story at Morgan & Co

We invite you to explore our collection featuring exquisite mixed shape diamond wedding bands such as The Austria and The Barcelona. Book your complimentary consultation and find your dream ring with the help of our experts.

Tips for Styling Your Mixed Shape Band

  • Match your metal: Whether you prefer white gold, yellow gold or rose gold; ensure your mixed-shape band matches the rest of your jewellery for seamless elegance.
  • Pick complementary shapes: Choose diamond shapes that work well together visually—for instance; oval and round diamonds pair beautifully due to their similar curves.
  • Add some colour: Don’t be afraid to include coloured diamonds or gemstones among your mix—it adds an extra pop and personal touch!

Whether you're a bride-to-be seeking something different or a groom on the hunt for that perfect ring, consider mixed shape diamond wedding bands. Not only are they at the forefront of bridal jewellery trends, but they also offer an opportunity to express individuality and style in a truly sparkling way.

The Significance of Eternity Bands

Picture this: a ring with an unbroken line of diamonds, sparkling on your finger. This isn't just any ring; it's an eternity ring. More than a mere fashion statement, these bands carry deep symbolism and significance.

Eternity bands are often gifted to celebrate special anniversaries or milestones in relationships. The continuous loop of the band symbolises everlasting love and commitment - hence its name 'eternity'. These rings have become one of the top trends in wedding rings as they embody the markers that chronicle our most treasured moments.

But don't think eternity rings are confined to marriage alone. Many choose them as unique tokens for significant events such as the birth of a child or even personal achievements. It's all about encapsulating those pivotal moments into something tangible, something beautiful you can wear every day.

The designs vary widely too, allowing each wearer to find their perfect match. From full-set diamond-encrusted styles shimmering around the entire band to half-set options offering understated elegance – there’s truly an eternity band out there for everyone.

A Mark Of Timeless Love Stories

An eternity ring, with its endless circle of diamonds or gemstones is indeed symbolic. But it also represents so much more—it tells your unique love story.

Beyond aesthetics, what makes these rings extra special is how they're linked directly to personal experiences and memories—whether it's recalling the thrill when first falling in love or celebrating decades spent together.

In essence, wearing one not only signifies eternal affection but serves as a precious reminder of shared life experiences. If you want to express something more than the typical, an eternity band might be what you're after.

Double-Band Rings: A Trending Style Statement

If you're looking for a wedding ring that's unique, stylish and makes a bold statement, consider this top trend in wedding rings, the double-banded ring. These exquisite pieces are gaining popularity amongst modern brides and grooms on Australia's Sunshine Coast and beyond.

The Appeal of Double-Band Wedding Rings

A double-band ring offers twice the beauty with two bands adorning your finger instead of one. The dual bands can be identical or contrasting in design to create an intriguing visual appeal. Some couples opt for different metals like yellow gold and white gold, while others choose matching bands adorned with ethically sourced diamonds from Morgan & Co.

Styling Your Double-Band Ring

When it comes to styling your double-band wedding ring, there are no hard-and-fast rules - it’s all about personal preference! If you have other significant rings such as eternity rings or family heirlooms, wearing these alongside your double-banded piece can create an eclectic yet harmonious ensemble.

  • Mix Metals: Don't shy away from mixing metals when styling your double-banded ring. Pairing rose gold with white gold creates a warm contrast that is aesthetically pleasing.
  • Create Balance: Striking balance is key when layering jewellery. If your double-band ring is a statement piece, keep other hand accessories minimalistic.

Ultimately, the beauty of choosing a double-band wedding ring lies in its versatility and the opportunity it presents to express your personal style. Whether you're going for an elegant or edgy look, this trend can be tailored to suit any personality and taste.

The Allure of Petite Diamond Wedding Rings

Petite, delicate diamond wedding bands have become the go-to choice for many modern brides. With their finer widths and intricate details, these bands are an elegant addition to any bridal set.

The Trend Towards Finer Widths and Intricate Details

Gone are the days when chunky rings dominated the jewellery scene. Today, it's all about subtle elegance - one of the top trends in wedding rings, delicate diamond wedding bands, clearly reflects this statement. These fine pieces use less metal to let each stone truly shine on its own.

Brides adore how this design adds a touch of radiance without overpowering their engagement ring. It’s like adding a cherry atop your favourite sundae; just enough dazzle to enhance, not steal away from the main showpiece.

This approach towards simplicity also allows more room for personal style expressions. Some opt for alternating white diamonds with coloured stones or metals giving an individual twist that makes them unique. Morgan & Co has seen an uptick in couples wanting custom designs that tell their love stories through symbols etched into these slender wonders.

Incorporating personal elements such as initials or special dates can make sure your band isn't just another piece of jewellery but a wearable narrative of your journey together. Now doesn’t that sound incredibly romantic?

Finding the perfect match to express yourself might seem daunting at first glance, especially considering you’ll be wearing this symbol forever. But rest assured, our team is here ready with advice born from years of crafting beautiful pieces.

From your initial question about design choices to the moment you slide that sparkling band onto your ring finger, we’re here to help make this experience as unforgettable as your love story itself. So why not give delicate diamond wedding bands such as our Prague Ring a closer look?

Key Takeaway: 

 

Modern brides are leaning towards delicate diamond wedding bands, appreciating their subtle elegance and room for personal expression. These slender rings use less metal, letting each stone stand out while not overpowering the engagement ring. Custom designs with special symbols or dates make these pieces more than just jewellery - they're wearable love stories.
