If you are one of those people who want to create your own custom engagement rings, then you will probably be considering not just white diamonds, but also colored diamonds. When Jennifer Lopez received her unique pink diamond engagement ring from Ben Affleck, it captured the public’s attention and many women began to look for pink diamond custom engagement rings. However romantic pink is, there are still many more colors available to choose from when customizing a ring.
You can use a white diamond as the centerpiece of the ring and put colored diamonds on either side to mix a traditional engagement ring concept with a newer more colorful display. Diamonds come in many colors, which include pink, blue, red, green, orange, purple and yellow. Diamonds with naturally occurring colors are called fancy color diamonds. If you get a report from the GIA, the Gemological Institute of America, the color will even be graded from light, intense, to dark, with many more gradings in between.
Some diamond colors are very popular and can increase the price of the diamond, like blue and pink. Other colors like yellow and brown are less desirable and can decrease the value of the diamond. If you are choosing to border a white diamond with some colored diamonds be aware that it may be a bit hard to match the color unless you have them graded first. Giving and receiving a fancy color diamond is thrilling in that you can be assured it will stand out from all the other custom engagement rings as a unique design.
