Anyone else have a gold engagement ring!? My fiancée and I wanted to use his grandmother’s gold wedding band so we wanted the engagement ring to match! I love the vintage look, especially with the champagne diamonds What are your thoughts on a gold engagement ring? Would it be a deal breaker for you when accepting a family heirloom? Should the wedding band and engagement ring always match? I an curious to hear what others think! Happy Planning
I think gold is coming back as a trend and honestly it seems to be a really nice sentiment to get a part of the family history. I myself prefer white gold or platinum since majority of my jewelry is white gold. However, that being said, i've seen a lot of mixed stacking and it looks nice. Really depends on what your preference is.
My fiance preferred the gold and while I always thought I'd want a silver colour, as soon as I went ring shopping with a friend and tried on a yellow gold ring I fell in love! My fiance ended up choosing the ring himself and made a few design changes from the original style. It turned out perfect!

I'm very excited!and happy our struggle is living at my parents till we can save and planning is going very well. Thank you do you have photos of your big day on here?
While my engagement ring is rose gold (rather than yellow gold), I love both! I wouldn’t have rejected my fiancé’s proposal had he done it with a white gold ring, but I would’ve asked politely if we could change it as I don’t wear white gold usually.
I prefer matching rings, but some people pull off the mixed metal look well!
I LOVEEE my yellow gold ring! My FH knew this when designing my ring luckily. I love how timeless and classic yellow gold is. I know white gold has become very popular but personally its just not my thing so my wedding band will be yellow gold as well 😊
I think that although yellow gold isn't my preference - had my Fiancé been the one to propose to me I would have accepted any ring he would have given me. I would find a special connection to it in one way or another. For instance - yellow gold would remind me of my Mom and Dad because those were their first set of engagement/wedding bands (they got new ones for their 25th anniversary) so it would make me think of them and the fact that just like them - we will be together forever and have a wonderful marriage.
For matching - I agree completely with Holly, as long as they look good together they can be whatever colour your heart desires (and whatever the jeweller can do).
P.S. Congrats on the engagement!! Your ring looks incredible, and I think your wedding date is thebomb.com
Oh and to answer the other things you asked in your post. I was more than happy to have this ring!! I honestly wouldn't want anything else. For me this ring is perfect in so many ways. I'm actually looking into getting a white gold band instead of a gold band. I do have his grandmother's wedding band too but I have had my eyes on a certain style for a while now. But we will see!! I definitely don't think they have to be super matching but as long as they look good together then that's fine!
Yes!! It does have some white gold on it but it's mainly gold! It was his grandmother's engagement ring. Just after his grandfather met her he went and bought the ring because he knew he would marry her, and he did! She was actually currently engaged to someone else but eventually fell for him and broke the other engagement off. When he proposed he told her this one was forever, it's a forever ring and it was. Now it's my forever ring ❤️
I honestly would be happy with it so long as it's a style I like. Mind you, I could never imagine rejecting any engagement ring my FH could have proposed with. I don't think they need to be matching whatsoever! I'm personally a little turned off by matchy-matchy sets tbh lol.
My engagement ring is a family heirloom. It is my FH's grandmother's wedding ring and it is gold. I love that they trusted me with a special family heirloom. My wedding band is also gold but doesn't completely match the engagement band.
