Colored gemstones are becoming more popular for engagement rings, as individual tastes and representation are becoming more popular. Individualism and symbols of marriage are not changing meaning, but no longer are white diamonds the exclusive gemstone to be worn for either engagement or wedding bands. By choosing a colored diamond, the symbolism of a forever commitment and lasting love is still represented, but the cost and unique flair are also part of the choice. Keep in mind that colored diamonds should be viewed in person to see the full effect of the gemstone in various lights, as multiple lighting conditions will impact how the naked eye interprets the colors of the stone.
