Men's Yellow Gold Rings

From Frank Sinatra’s signet to several of the stellar Super Bowl victory rings, men’s yellow gold rings are timeless and tantalizing. This allure can be traced back centuries, to some of the earth’s earliest cultures. With its name stemming from the Old English “gelo,” or “yellow,” yellow gold has been part of the human experience for over 6,000 years.

Since its discovery, gold has been an acclaimed commodity, with those who could afford it incorporating it into jewelry and other decorative designs. It became a universal symbol of status and wealth, connotations that the precious metal still casts today. Incredibly versatile in its applications, yellow gold lends itself to a remarkable range of design and makes yellow gold rings a perennial favorite among masculine figures.
