Pink
diamonds, as with most
colored natural
diamonds, are extremely rare. Historically, the
colored gems have been mined from select
diamond mines in Africa and India, and in alluvial workings in Brazil. Since the late 1980’s, Australia’s Argyle mine has been the most significant source of pink
diamonds, no matter the rareness of the
gem even from that part of the world.
Many celebrities, including Anna Kournikova, own Argyle pink
diamond rings. When coupled with a matching outfit and a cool skin tone, even the standard
rings pink
diamond will look gorgeous and get people’s attention.
Since the pink
diamonds’ color is so treasured, it is rarely set in an
engagement ring with the
yellow gold band. The pink
gemstone has to stand out in a more pronounced way, so the
metal band that highlights the
color is favored more. Usually,
white metal bands complement the pink
diamonds in a better way than
yellow gold.
Think of an
engagement ring featuring
white gold or
platinum band and a double
halo of same
colored diamonds set around the centerpiece fancy vivid pink
diamond. Owning one of those
jewelry pieces is going to get you more attention in parties and public places – all eyes will be on the pink
ring.
