Colored diamond engagement rings can be a fun and unconventional departure from the classic colorless diamonds. Even if you are a fan of traditional diamonds, colored stones can be paired with them to create a stunning effect. Best of all, there is a huge range of styles, sizes, cuts and metals to choose from for a ring that’s simultaneously classy and totally you. Here are some of the many options available in colored diamond rings.

Colored Diamond Engagement Rings in Platinum or White Gold

Platinum is a good choice for any diamond ring because it’s strong and less easily marred or tarnished than silver or gold. It’s also one of the rarest metals, which means its use will add value to your ring. Platinum looks gorgeous when used in canary yellow diamond rings, as the contrasting colors offset one another nicely.

If you like the softness and sheen of gold but like silvery shades better, consider white gold. This material is also extremely valuable and malleable, so rings can be made in a variety of styles and shapes.
