Colored Engagement Rings: Yellow, Pink, Green, Blue

Quick answer: Colored engagement rings, with yellow, pink, green or blue center stones, are a bold, personal alternative to a classic white diamond. The most popular choices are fancy color lab grown diamonds, colored moissanite and natural sapphires. Choose a color that suits her style and skin tone, pick a shape that concentrates color (radiant, cushion and oval are great), and frame it with white stones for contrast and extra sparkle.

Color has become one of the biggest engagement ring trends in the US, and it is easy to see why. A colored ring feels unique from the first glance and says something about the person wearing it. Here is everything you need to choose one with confidence.

Your Three Main Stone Options

Fancy color lab grown diamonds

Real diamonds in pink, yellow, blue and green, with the same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale) as white diamonds. They cost a fraction of natural colored diamonds, which can be extremely rare and expensive. Look for an IGI report that lists the color grade, such as Fancy Intense or Fancy Vivid, and discloses any treatment.

Colored moissanite

Moissanite is a different gemstone, silicon carbide, rated about 9.25 on the Mohs scale. Colored moissanite offers bold color and lots of rainbow fire at a lower price than colored diamonds. It is a great choice for a large statement stone on a budget.

Natural sapphire

Sapphires are natural gemstones rated 9 on the Mohs scale and come in blue, pink, yellow and more. They have a rich, deep color and a long history as engagement stones.

How to Choose the Right Colored Ring

Match her existing style

Look at the colors she wears most often, in clothes and jewelry. Someone who loves gold and warm tones may adore a yellow or champagne stone; someone who wears silver and cool colors may prefer blue or pink.

Choose a shape that shows color

Radiant, cushion and oval shapes concentrate color, so the stone looks richer. Round brilliants return lots of white light, which can make color look lighter. Emerald cuts show color evenly through their open facets.

Decide how bold to go

A softer Fancy Light or pastel shade feels subtle and everyday. Fancy Intense and Fancy Vivid grades give saturated, eye-catching color.

Add white stones for contrast

A white halo, side stones or a pave band makes the color pop and adds brilliance. Trillion, baguette and trapezoid side stones are popular with colored radiants.

Setting and Metal Tips

Yellow stones glow in yellow gold, which deepens their color.
Pink stones look romantic in rose gold, or striking against white gold.
Blue and green stones look crisp in 14K or 18K white gold.
Prong color matters: yellow prongs can intensify a yellow stone; white prongs keep a white halo looking icy.
