Princess Cut Yellow Gold Engagement Rings

No! A yellow gold princess cut engagement ring is actually significantly less expensive than a ring with a round center stone. This is for two reasons: demand and diamond crystal efficiency. First, princess cut diamonds are the second most popular diamond shape, second only to round. Consequently, because round diamonds are in a bit higher demand, they come at a higher cost premium. So, princess cut diamonds cost less than rounds! Secondly, because most diamonds grow in octahedron form (back to back pyramids with a square center), princess cuts waste less diamond rough. As a result, you get a better price for this efficiency, too!

Yellow gold is also a great choice for your princess cut engagement ring. This is because it is durable, pure, and beautiful! Gold is naturally yellow, so, choosing yellow gold for your ring means you will have less upkeep than a white gold ring (which requires rhodium plating). 14k gold is also a great choice because it strikes a balance between purity and durability. Compared with 18k gold, which is softer, 14k gold holds stones more securely and is better at resisting scratches. Finally, 14k gold is significantly less expensive than platinum, making it a great option for those seeking value!
