Colored diamonds offer a pop of shimmering color. Ranging in hues from vivid yellow to muted lemon, electric blue to sea teal, and bright pink to warm blush, colored diamonds are a superb alternative choice as the center stone for a ring or piece of fine jewelry. Natural colored diamonds are incredibly rare, and their price reflects it, while lab grown colored diamonds offer a more affordable option.

Colored diamonds are created when trace elements interact with carbon atoms in a diamond's creation. Chemical elements such as nitrogen, sulphur or boron can color diamonds in shades of canary yellow, green, and blue. Pink natural diamonds, however, form from a distortion within the crystal itself that grows under intense heat and pressure. These naturally occurring processes are replicated in laboratories to craft man-made diamonds with fabulous and bright hues.

Which engagement ring setting styles work well with colored diamonds?

Colored diamonds pair beautifully with a variety of settings, including solitaire, halo, bezel, three-stone, and pavé styles, as well as vintage-inspired designs. Brilliant Earth offers these settings in metals such as platinum, 14K and 18K yellow, white, and rose gold to complement different hues.

What shapes are available in colored diamonds?

Colored diamonds are available in many popular shapes, including oval, round, pear, cushion, radiant, emerald, marquise, princess, asscher, and heart. Both natural and lab grown colored diamonds are offered across these shapes.

What length-to-width ratios or dimensions are typical for fancy-shaped colored diamonds?

How can two colored diamonds with similar grades look different?

Differences in hue, saturation, cut proportions, length-to-width ratio, and fluorescence can make diamonds with similar grades appear distinct to the eye. Photographs and measurements help reveal how those factors influence color distribution and overall appearance.
