Engagement Ring Metals and Settings
Rose Gold and Yellow Gold
White gold engagement rings are always popular but in recent years, rose gold and yellow gold have gained popularity as well. Yellow gold is classic and when paired with a vintage style can have a nostalgic feel. Rose gold adds a soft touch of color.
