Is Yellow Gold Pure Gold?

18kt yellow gold is chosen for its soft, rich yellow colour that lends itself beautifully to diamond engagement rings. 24 karat gold is too soft for jewellery use so it's alloyed with other metals to make it harder.

Hallmarking Engagement Rings

'Hallmarking' is the process of testing the metal of a product and validating it with a stamp, confirming it is what we say it is. Your engagement ring is sent to the London Assay Office at the prestigious Goldsmiths Hall to be hallmarked. All items described as containing precious metal legally have to be tested, assayed and hallmarked in the United Kingdom.

Inside your ring, you will find 3 stamps. You can see examples of these below.
