It is a common belief there is no such thing as colored diamond engagement ring. But it is just a myth.

If you’re looking for something different, here are your best choices:
Natural Pink Diamond Engagement Rings
Pink diamonds are the rarest of them all. There is a chance you thought they weren’t even natural. There is only one commercial source of pink diamonds in the entire world. It is in the remote North West Kimberley region of Australia.
Take for example the Pink Star, formerly known as the Steinmetz Pink. This Fancy Vivid Pink colored diamond weighs a whopping 59.6 carats. It was auctioned off in 2013 and sold for over 83 million dollars, setting a world record.
The second most expensive diamond is pink – it was supposed to be sold for over 50 million dollars.
But the buyer, a New York diamond cutter named Isaac Wolf, couldn’t afford it. So the pink diamond was taken back by the auction house.
So, you can see that pink diamonds are the rarest of them all. But if you’re looking for colored diamond engagement rings, design matters. Here’s where you can find some of the best designs available.
