The most basic, traditional symbol of a couple’s commitment is a simple gold band, yellow gold to be specific. And while this year platinum is expected to soar and bridal fashion has gotten fancier, there are still some stars out there that favor the classic look of yellow gold.
She may be facing a bit of personal turmoil lately, but when Scarlet Johansson accepted Ryan Reynolds proposal she began sporting a very traditional engagement ring style. Featuring a 3 carat Round cut diamond center set onto a yellow gold band, her ring was a far cry from the showy bling so often seen on modern day celebrities. The couple, who was never very publically demonstrative or affection, likes to keep things away from the limelight of Hollywood, so it isn’t surprising that Reynolds picked the perfect ring to symbolize their marriage, short lived though it was.
The Insignia 7021 from Verragio is the perfect style for people who like the look of Johansson’s low-key engagement ring. Featuring a Single Round cut solitaire Diamond, the classic design is made a bit more modern with Verragio’s exclusive Lumino setting, which allows much more of the diamond to show. And because all of Verragio’s rings are custom designed and made to order, the INS 7021 can be made to match Johansson’s traditional yellow look.
Known to light up a runway, model Heidi Klum’s engagement ring is one of the most unique in Hollywood, and unlike Johansson’s classic look, yellow gold it used to create a trendy modern feel. The fancy yellow cushion cut center diamond has been estimated to be about 10 carats, and is set onto a pave’ set yellow gold band. The unique engagement ring, which is valued around $1.5 million, creates a gilded look by combining the fancy yellow color of the diamond and the yellow gold.
With the news of a fourth baby on the way for Victoria and David Beckham, there is more reason than ever to idolize the fashionable family, and with a decade of marriage and already three kids under their belt, they are indeed a rare breed in Hollywood. Their relationship began in 1997 when Beckham took one look at Victoria and told a friend he has found the woman he was going to marry. He proposed a year into their relationship with a diamond engagement ring he had custom made for her: an over 3 carat Marquis cut diamond set onto a yellow band. Rumor has it that Victoria later had a matching masculine version made up for Beckham.
Fashions may come and go, but the traditional look of yellow gold is a timeless way to capture on antique look, but more than that it is perfect for another trend that has been slowly on the rise lately. Like peanut butter and jelly, green and gold with forever go together, and the recent rise of the Emerald paired with the look of yellow gold is a match made in heaven. Imagine the Couture 0379 from Verragio with a Square cut Emerald center set into a slightly twisted, pave set yellow gold band. That would really be an engagement ring you’ve never seen before.
