Give a solitaire ring a contemporary twist

Diamonds are found in a wide spectrum of natural colors. These range from pale champagne diamonds, through vibrant canary yellow diamonds to darker hues such as chocolate or even black diamonds. Despite there being a wide range of different colored diamonds, until relatively recently, the most prized form of diamond for an engagement ring was a traditional white diamond. Over recent years, colored diamonds have become more highly prized and couples who want something a little different in their engagement ring are seeking out colored diamonds of all types. One of the most sought after types of diamonds for engagement rings is the pink diamond. As a result, pink diamond solitaire engagement rings are an extremely popular type of ring.

Pink diamond solitaire engagement rings offer classic styling with a contemporary twist. The pink diamond gives a highly individualized variation to the traditional solitaire style. When buying a pink diamond ring there are some important points to bear in mind:

Some precious stones such as pink diamonds are treated to alter or stabilize the color. A color treated diamond has therefore been artificially treated to give it its color. There are pros and cons for both color treated and untreated or natural diamonds. While naturally colored diamonds are the most highly prized – they are also the most expensive. A high quality naturally colored diamond can be extremely costly. Color treated diamonds are less expensive and more readily available.

Solitaire settings feature a single stone. This allows the stone to be the star of the design and as such there are a wide variety of shapes perfect for this type of ring. These shapes include round or brilliant cut diamonds plus other shapes such as princess, marquise, emerald or pear.

The setting is an important feature of a solitaire ring. With only a single stone to display, the setting needs to enhance the natural beauty of the stone without the ring appearing too stark. Types of solitaire settings include Bezel and flush settings as well as the traditional pronged settings.

When choosing a solitaire engagement ring set with a pink diamond, it is important to pick a setting that complements the diamond's color. A very pale pink colored diamond, for instance, may get overshadowed by the rich tones of yellow gold. Platinum, palladium or white gold might be a better choice in this instance. Most high quality jewelry stores will be able to show diamonds in a selection of different colored settings.

Selecting an engagement ring is an exciting and emotional time. Whether the man is choosing the ring and surprising his intended or the couple is picking the ring together, the wide choice of ring and the excitement of the day can soon result in more money being spent than had been planned. This is particularly the case with pink diamond solitaire engagement rings as the cost of the diamond can be quite significant. Setting a budget before starting to look for rings can help to avoid future disappointment.

One of the most important ways of looking after a pink diamond ring is to ensure that it is kept clean. All diamond rings benefit from regular cleaning. A gentle rub with a lint and acid free cloth will help to keep the surface clean from dust and grease which can attract dirt. While this is fine for everyday cleaning, a diamond ring should be regularly cleaned by a specialist jeweler who will also check the setting of the ring. This is important to ensure that the setting does not become damaged which might result in the diamond getting lost.

A pink solitaire ring combines the classic beauty of the solitaire style with a contemporary pink diamond. This is the perfect combination for people who are looking for a ring that is unusual and individual yet also has a timeless style.
