Yellow gold wedding bands are a fine jewelry staple. Revered as the most precious of metals, yellow gold stands the test of time. Pair a classic yellow gold wedding band, and a lab created diamond engagement ring for a wedding jewelry look that creates a timeless yet modern image. Gold wedding bands are a timeless choice and achieve understated elegance.

We believe in crafting beautiful jewelry that's environmentally responsible. That's why we only offer lab created diamond jewelry and use ethically sourced precious metals. Diamond and gold mines harm the environment both locally and worldwide. Mines can also create unethical working environments and severely underpay workers. We reduce the harmful effects of the mining industry by sourcing only responsible materials.

Our precious metals have been approved by the Responsible Jewellery Council. The RJC aims to aid jewelry companies providing ethical alternatives and practices.

Responsibly sourced metals have the same high quality and durability as newly mined metals. Your yellow gold engagement rings and wedding bands are just as high quality as if they were sourced directly from the earth.

Pure 24 karat gold is too soft for gold jewelry, so we use 14 karat and 18 karat gold. Mixing gold with other metals, also called alloys, makes gold strong enough for everyday wear. Zinc and copper are the specific alloys that make yellow gold more durable. Yellow gold is most similar to pure gold because yellow gold retains the precious metal's natural color.

The higher the gold content, the more yellow your gold wedding band will be. Therefore, an 18 karat gold band will have a warmer color than a 14 karat gold band. This is because 18 karat gold is 75% real gold while 14 karat gold is 58.5% real gold. The price also increases with the gold content.

Both 14 karat and 18 karat yellow gold are excellent options for your wedding jewelry. 14 karat gold may hold up better than 18 karat gold because 18 karat is slightly softer. Fortunately, our Forever Service Plan can cover any cosmetic repairs needed for your gold band. The Forever Service Plan is a one time investment that includes lifetime repair.
