Your Coloured Gemstones Guide
Your Coloured Gemstones Guide
Spice up your engagement ring with a little colour and a lot of personal pizzazz. Coloured gems have long been the favored betrothal gift for royal families — Princess Diana sported a blue sapphire now worn by Princess Catherine, and Sarah Ferguson wore a ruby — and a must-have for the queen’s crown. Lately, brilliantly hued stones have become even more of a trend, catching on with celebs (remember the boulder-size pink diamond Ben Affleck gave to J.Lo?) and everyday brides alike (pink diamonds are the most requested gems, with pink sapphires often serving as stand-ins for the less financially endowed). Bonus: These fiery gems are often less expensive than diamonds, so you can afford a larger stone (coloured diamonds, which are rarer than clear diamonds, being the exception of course).
