If there's anything that Formula 1 driver George Russel and Carmen Montero Mundt's engagement showed us, it's that yellow diamonds are the next it-girl engagement ring trend. These stones have the power to feel like a glimmer of sunshine on your finger, reading warmer, brighter, and a little less predictable than the traditional white diamond. The color also has a range most people don't expect: a canary yellow reads playful, a deeper cognac tone reads closer to whiskey, and both still reflect light in a way clear stones can't compete with. We rounded up 28 yellow diamond and sapphire engagement ring designs that capture the essence of Carmen's stone, from subtle tones to bold center cuts that lean the whole ring toward gold. Consider this your shortlist if you've already decided that a colored stone is the only option.
