OOOh! What colour diamond shall I have in my diamond ring?
Contrary to what many people may think, diamonds come in many different colours ranging from white (colourless), through yellow, green, pink, orange, blue, purple to black and with red being the rarest, so the choice for a diamond ring is potentially enormous.
Diamond rings par excellence
At an auction in Geneva this Spring a 3.7 carat oval-shaped vivid blue diamond ring about the size of a pistachio shell was sold for just under £2.5 million. Not on this occasion snapped up by a celebrity for whom money is no object but, not surprisingly, it went to a top-class London jewellers who will no doubt find a very good buyer for it. Diamond rings displaying exceptionally beautiful coloured diamonds usually hit the headlines when they’re being worn by someone in the public eye, like Victoria Beckham, who received a diamond ring with a beautiful pink diamond in it for her 30th birthday, but perhaps showbiz events like the Oscars provide the most spectacular showcase for diamond rings with diamonds of all colours.
Those particular diamond rings may be way beyond the means of most people but knowing that diamonds exist in such a range of colours opens up all sorts of possibilities for anyone seeking a diamond ring that is unique and special to them, although of course the rarity of coloured diamonds is reflected in their price.
Diamond ring diversity
When you think diamond ring your thoughts may well turn first to engagement rings but the diversity and versatility of diamond rings today is making it easy to choose a diamond ring that looks equally good worn as a dress ring, an eternity ring, a wedding ring or an engagement ring. That doesn’t mean you have to stop at one diamond ring though because it’s always nice to have the option of ringing the changes.
White Fire vs Dazzling Colour
Although there’s a growing interest in diamonds in colours other that the universally loved “white” diamond, it is still the “white” diamond that features in the majority of diamond rings today. And no wonder, for the “white” diamond is often dubbed “white fire” because of its resemblance to a blazing fire as it reflects light in exquisite flashes from its setting in a diamond ring. However, whether the diamond ring you eventually choose has a white diamond or you seek a diamond ring with a coloured diamond you’ll be amazed at the myriad choice of diamond rings on offer today.
