Marquise Yellow Diamond Engagement Ring in 18k Gold

Centre stone Fancy Very Light Yellow marquise diamond with round brilliant sides in 18k two-tone gold. London hallmarked. IGL certificate.

A rare Fancy Very Light Yellow marquise diamond sits at the centre. Yellow diamonds are graded by colour intensity on a fancy scale and Fancy Very Light marks the subtle end of that spectrum, giving a refined wash of colour rather than a bold canary tone.

The marquise silhouette gives graceful length on the hand and a generous face-up look for the carat weight. Expert guidance for this cut notes that a balanced marquise should show lively contrast without an overly dark bow-tie, which preserves brightness through the centre.

Flanking round brilliant side stones add crisp white sparkle, sharpening the outline and drawing the eye to the elongated centre. The ring is crafted in two colours of 18k gold, white around the setting for a bright frame and yellow through the shank for warmth and depth. Each piece is bench-made in London and hallmarked.

Coloured diamond engagement rings offer a distinctive alternative to classic white. Natural fancy-colour diamonds appear in nuanced hues from soft yellow, champagne and cognac to rarer pinks and greens, with the same durability as white diamonds for everyday wear. Colour is assessed on the fancy scale from Faint to Fancy Vivid, so you can choose an elegant whisper of colour or a bolder statement.

For many modern couples a coloured diamond feels personal and memorable. Each stone’s tone is unique, it photographs beautifully and pairs cleanly with a slim 18k band. At Lena Cohen Jewellery every ring is handcrafted in London with natural diamonds and London hallmarking, and enquiries are answered directly by the jewellers. Bespoke options include selecting the hue and intensity, the cut and proportions, and the exact setting details so the ring reflects your style from weekday to evening.
