Yellow Gold Black Diamond Contemporary Engagement Rings by Tony Rodrigues

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for yellow gold black diamond contemporary engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. When you are shopping for black diamonds, you need to forget everything you learned about shopping for colorless diamonds. Black diamonds are real diamonds but they don't sparkle. They have an inky dark color that is essentially opaque. Gemvara's black diamonds are as dark as midnight but their faceted surface has diamond's adamantine luster. Lustrous 14-karat yellow gold, which is 58.5% pure gold, is the most popular yellow gold alloy. It has superior hardness without sacrificing that classic golden glow. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Damon Washington, Jessica Behzad, David West, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Clean yellow gold black diamond contemporary engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality yellow gold black diamond contemporary engagement rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Tony Rodrigues is a classically trained master goldsmith but his passion is jewelry design. In addition to jewelry, his distinguished design commissions include Olympic Gold Medals, a set of custom designed "Diablo" cufflinks for the head of Lamborghini, and a reliquary for a Vatican-certified piece of the cross of the crucifixion.

A master of line and proportion, Tony's designs often feature graceful, elegant curves that make them as feminine as they are modern for the woman who is both.

Unusual and mysterious, black diamond jewelry is elegant with a bold impact. Black diamonds are unique because their value factors are unlike those of colorless diamonds. Black diamonds have an inky, opaque color so the 4Cs (color, clarity, cut, and carat weight) don't apply. It is not unusual for black diamonds to have minor surface flaws and polishing lines. Their black color is caused by graphite inclusions or enhancement through a harmless form of irradiation and heat. Gemvara offers enhanced black diamond rings because they have superior color and fewer imperfections, making them as resilient as colorless diamonds. Black diamonds generally weigh a bit more than colorless diamonds, yet a one-carat black diamond will be smaller than a one-carat colorless diamond. Gemvara is the world's leading source for black diamonds- we sell more black diamonds than colorless ones! All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality black diamond will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine black diamond jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
