Lord Thompson Manor Colored Gemstones
Dec 10th, 2009 by Lord Thompson Manor
The Lord Thompson Manor has noticed an exciting and creative trend in the latest Engagement Rings: colored gemstones. More and more couples have been expressing the unique nature of their relationships by straying from the traditional white solitaire diamond and personalizing their Engagement Rings with beautiful, meaningful color.
Some couples achieve this personalization with colored diamonds. Many antique rings sport rich champagne-colored yellow diamonds. Brown is an accessible, indulgent warm option, with diamonds ranging from a glowing caramel color to a sparkling milk chocolate shade. Blue diamonds, like the renowned Hope Diamond, can be elegant and beautiful. Naturally, the most popular hue for colored diamonds is a romantic, feminine, graceful pink.
Other couples choose to accentuate the white diamond of their Engagement Rings with colored stones on the sides. Some choose three-stone settings, with a white diamond in the center and two smaller colored stones on either side. Others have their central diamond featured in a prong setting, with small colored stones embedded in the band. These accent stones are often rubies or sapphires in the traditional red or blue hues, but some couples express their unique style in shades of beautiful green, regal purple or even mysterious and unexpected black.
