Diamonds and Gold: A Pairing for the Ages (and April)

[PinkDiamond]

Here's a good one for our April babies since diamond is April's main birthstone, and there are some fabulous pieces in this, and quite a few of them so you'll surely find more than one item you love. I have to wonder how the flexible flower ring is flexible, and I also wonder where the 'toi' is in the 'toi et moi' bracelet since I only see one gemstone, and notice the difference in the color of the gold in the heart wraparound ring which is in 20kt gold versus the color of the gold in the earrings below it at only 14kt gold; big difference. I like the design of the eyelet cuff bracelet, and for some reason the Shibuya stud earring with the gold balls and diamonds really appeal to me, and the third piece I like is the Veritage signature bracelet so check these out and see which ones appeal to you.

Diamonds and Gold: A Pairing for the Ages (and April)
By Brittany Siminitz | April 03, 2024



"Despite the rise in popularity of white metals, yellow gold is still holding strong, particularly in fashion jewelry.

Many will argue the benefits of white metal for a diamond—the way platinum, for instance, sets off the stone’s sparkle, melding with it in ways that make it brighter, appearing larger and ever more glittery. And they’re right, of course—it makes sense that cool-color metals would truly set a diamond’s fire aflame. They also might argue that yellow gold could bring out any yellowish tones in a diamond (especially a lower color-graded one), and again they’d be right.

Yet here we are: We still love our diamonds in yellow gold. For earrings, pendants, stackable rings, tennis bracelets, and necklaces, yellow gold has achieved an “it” status that keeps designers using it and consumers wearing it. Its warmth is comfortable, a contrast with the gemstones that really pops.

We won’t analyze what yellow gold gives to (or takes away from) a diamond, since most of the jewels below consist of more than one focal stone. You just can’t argue with the appeal of diamonds in yellow gold—for anyone, though they’re perfect for April birthdays in particular.
