Three colored diamond rings

[T L]

Rose gold with 1.05 ct Grey Green and two 22 point pink sides and white diamond mellee.

 

[T L]

Light yellow 1/2 carat bezel set in a Tacori style mount with around 80 points of side diamonds

 

[T L]

Brownish pink 52 pointer in rose gold head and white gold shank with white diamond mellee.

 

[T L]

All three stacked up.

All three together on different fingers. My macro mode kills all sparkle.

The only way I can capture sparkle is to photograph out of focus. This was taken in a room on a cloudy day. Thanks for looking!

So prettty!!!

I love the style of all three - they look lovely all together, but gosh that''s a lot of bling! My fave is definitely the green diamond, green is my favourite colour. Yours is the chameleon green, am I right?

Wear them in good health!

 

[DiamanteBlu]

How cool! Lovely collection!

 

[vespergirl]

Beautiful! I love the pink diamond the best!

Awesome rings, TL! I can''t decide which is my favorite. Probably the three stone, since I''ve been thinking about making one for myself one of these days. So unique. You won''t find those at your local jewelers. Love, love, love colored diamonds.

All 3 are super pretty!!!! I think my fav is the split shank.

 

[MMT]

They are all beautiful, lucky girl

Thanks to everyone for their compliments. I think the green/pink three stone is my favorite as well. It is so hard to capture the actual sparkle and color of the green stone on camera. So many colors come off this stone, at times it looks teal, green, yellow, grey. Here's another pic (after taking a zillion) that gives a better idea, and the two pink diamonds on the side look more pink in this picture. They are pink, but again, my camera stinks. Believe it or not, the two pinks and the yellow and brownish pink have been sitting in a box for 12 to 15 years. I finally decided to do something with them.

This was an inspiration for my ring since the color of the main diamond is similar and it looked awesome to me in rose gold. Who would think to put the two colors together. I know some people would probably think it clashes, but I LOVE this metal and stone color combo.

I have waited for this ring to be made and she is worth the wait!

The choice of the pink diamonds on the sides is perfection. I was hoping you would do this when you were planning to set the green diamond. I love it in every way. WELL DONE!

i love the color combination!!! i''m drooling over that grey green stone.

 

[oobiecoo]

My favorite is the brownish pink diamond ring but they are all gorgeous!

 

[T L]

Thanks for the compliements everyone. I finally took the green and pink ring outside and it was the first time I saw the green in the sun. It turned a gorgeous shade of deep dark green that I have never seen before!! I was driving, and it was hard to keep my eyes on the road. I just love how some diamonds can change color in sunlight. The pinks on the side are just amazing as well.

[Burk]

Lovely rings! I love colored diamonds!

I remember when you started the green/pink 3-stone project. Love the way it turned out!

How did you get started with colored diamonds? I also love that yours are all soft in color, very distinctive and subtle.



I would love to have my own colored diamond piece someday. Do you have advice for me?

[marcy]

I actually got started with colored diamonds many years ago - before J.Lo, and all the celebs were all wearing them. Back then they were well priced well next to white diamonds (unless it's a vivid color of pink, blue, violet or green). I'm not really into colorless stones, including diamonds. I post mainly in the colored gemstone forum because I love colored gems, diamonds included. Very few people realize that diamonds come in every color of the rainbow.

Colored diamonds have become really expensive these days, even the champagnes and cognacs went up quite a bit, which is pretty shocking. However, if you really like them, there's a wide array for every budget. It depends on how much you are willing to spend and what colors you like.

Thanks to everyone for their compliments BTW!

I started looking for a colored diamond for a ring project this summer and got sticker shock right away... Lucky for me, I love the yellows...so they are more affordable...but they are definitely not bargains.

Your rings are so beautiful and unusual. Thank you for sharing them!

Yellows come in various shades. If you want a fancy vivid or intense, then yes, it is expensive. However, there are lighter yellows that are much more affordable such as Fancy light yellow or Fancy yellow. With the right kind of setting, the yellow can be further enhanced. I think DBL (Diamonds By Lauren) has a wide array of fancy yellows at prices all along the spectrum. DBL is definitely competitively priced.

Also, don't be afraid of clarity with fancy colors. The color tends to hide much more than a colorless diamond. DBL often has I-clarity stones that sparkle like crazy, you can't tell they're I-clarity because the color really hides the inclusions well. This also helps you to save a significant chunk of change when purchasing a fancy yellow.

I like the yellows that are very soft, almost pastel, so not so much the vivid or intense shades -- though those are pretty too.

I will check out the DBL listings Thanks for the tips!

I love your green diamond, with the pink halo it looks so unusual, and I like how the color seems to be iridescent.
