I actually had my platinum wedding rings changed to yellow gold in the 80s because all my other jewelry was gold and I just thought it was "better".  Flash forward to about ten years ago when I finally realized how much better I look in cool tones and started buying/wearing silver and platinum.  Had to get the rings changed back too.  [/quote]

The finish on yellow gold in the 80s was more yellow and brassy, though. Also, the ring settings would be gaudier, with these big settings with a million prongs.

Now the look is a softer color, not rose gold but less bright yellow, and often done in a matte finish instead of high shine. Ring settings are smaller and sit closer to the rest of the ring. It’s a more understated look.

I have a sapphire ring from the 80s that has sentimental value to me but the yellow gold setting is just garish. I’m having it reset in another yellow gold setting but the look is much more subtle and current.[/quote]
