Enough of the gloom and doom of the past couple of years, we all want to look at the world through colored lenses. It has taken a little bit of time for the trend of engagement rings with colored gemstones to take flight in the US. It’s been a very popular trend in Europe and other parts of the world for centuries. I am so happy it is finally in demand here too.  Picking a colored gemstones as your center stone is the easiest way to  get a truly one-of-a-kind engagement ring. We talked about yellow diamond engagement rings earlier this year, bright colors are still very popular. We are also seeing deeper reds, greens and blues on brides-to-be fingers.

For this ring, a magnificent emerald cut stone is the star, flanked by a duo of stepped baguette diamonds on each side. The platinum mounting exemplifies Kwiat craftsmanship and engineering, with minimal metal for an airy, elegant design that allows maximum light flow into the gemstones, enhancing their color and brilliance.

The 4 following rings feature stones with fascinating and rare hues. First up is a ring by Parle Gems  with a mesmerizing peacock tanzanite. While traditional tanzanite displays a violet to violet-blue color, peacock tanzanite displays violet, blue and green. Hence the name Peacock. I love the design of this ring, especially the pear-cut diamond accents, it will give an elongated look to your finger.
