Do you love diamond rings but want something that’s just a little bit different? Why not pick a yellow diamond? The gorgeous gemstone is an absolute hit with Hollywood stars, and it could be the perfect addition to your future engagement ring, too.
Getting a Non-Traditional Ring
How can you get a non-traditional ring? The easiest way to get one is to go to a local jeweller that specializes in custom engagement rings. A custom jeweller offers their clients a variety of gemstones and band materials to work with so that they can craft the piece of their dreams. So, if you want a yellow diamond as a jaw-dropping centre stone, they can make that happen.
A custom jeweller can do more than help you find the right design for your ring. They can guide you to the best option for your budget, lifestyle and personal beliefs. For instance, if you don’t have a celebrity-sized budget, or want to make an environmentally conscious purchase, they might recommend that you pick lab grown diamonds. If this is the first you’re hearing of the concept, here are some differences between lab grown diamonds vs mined diamonds to get a better idea of your options. While lab grown diamonds are traditionally white/colourless, you can also find yellow lab grown diamond options.
