The pink diamond is one of the most popular types of colored diamonds available today. Its popularity stems from the multimillion dollar pink diamond engagement rings that have graced the red carpet by many celebrity brides to be. The most famous one of course is Jennifer Lopez who received a huge square pink diamond engagement ring given to her by Ben Affleck. Ever since then pink diamonds both natural and treated have been in demand for pink diamond three stone rings, pink diamond solitaire engagement rings, pink diamond right-hand rings and pink diamond anniversary ring.
The fascination with pink diamonds has resulted in an improvement in the quality of pink treated diamonds on the market. Natural pink diamonds are horrendously expensive because they come from only one mine in the world and that is the Argyle diamond mine in Australia. From the huge annual production that comes from this mine only a couple dozen or so pink diamonds of any significant size make it to the selling block.
These diamonds are so rare that the only way to buy them is through auction. Prices vary but they start from a few hundred thousand dollars per carat to more than $1 million per carat depending of course on the size and quality of the pink color. The more saturated the pink and the cleaner the stone the pricier it is.
For the ordinarily fashion conscious woman who just wants a nice pair of pink diamond studs, the best option is of course treated diamonds which are available at most major retailers like Amazon.com and other diamond retailers online. Pink diamond earrings, pink diamond rings and other assorted pink diamond jewelry are also available at your local jeweler.
Before the quality of treated pink diamonds became good enough for public sale the other treated colored diamond options were blue, green and orange. The most popular treated diamond are the blue diamonds and now the pink diamonds. Most women like the idea of colored diamonds because they combine color with a gemstone that symbolizes value, longevity, durability and of course love and beauty.
The most popular piece of pink jewelry is of course the bridal pink diamond ring. Pink is a wonderfully feminine color and many women love how it expresses their femininity and at the same time the specialness of their marriage. It is the married woman’s right-hand ring so to speak. It is also popular as a center stone in three stone ring and solitaire rings.
