Are pink diamond engagement rings more expensive? 

So you want to get a pink diamond engagement ring, but now you’re wondering about the cost of these babies. Maybe you’ve already looked at a few and noticed that they are a bit more expensive when compared to normal diamonds. Why is that?

Pink diamond engagement rings are more expensive because they are exceedingly rare. You don’t just walk into a jeweler and see loads of pink diamonds on display. And that’s because the process of creating a pink diamond (in nature) is more intense when it comes to using heat and pressure on the stone when it’s embedded in the earth’s crust.

Helpful tips

If you’re looking for a pink diamond that’s a large karat you might want to consider having a solitaire setting to allow the center stone to shine properly without any other stones or flourishes adding a distraction.

Another option to consider is a halo setting. Having a circle of smaller diamonds will draw one’s attention to the pink center stone. The halo setting will also help protect the expensive center stone more than an exposed solitaire.

And If your special someone really loves the idea of pink diamond engagement rings, another option you should consider is buying a rose gold setting to really amp the pink factor of the ring. Rose gold is one of the newest and hottest trends in settings. You really just can’t go wrong with them.
