24 Best Pink Diamond Engagement Rings of 2023

While white diamond is the classic choice for engagement rings, colored gemstones are perfect for those who like to stand out. And pink diamonds are particularly elegant, feminine, and undeniably romantic. For future brides that love the prettier things in life, it's certainly worth the investment.

Pink diamonds are incredibly rare and, according to the Gemological Institute of America, make up only about one percent of diamond production worldwide. This rarity probably explains why they’re something of a celebrity favorite: Pink diamond engagement rings have been spotted on the fingers of stars like Blake Lively, Victoria Beckham, and Mariah Carey.

Of course, the most obvious difference between pink and white diamonds is the color. Pink diamonds can come in a range of saturations, from a light, subtle pink to a bright hot pink. According to Au Xchange founder Azra Mehdi, pink diamonds are, “20 times more expensive than white diamonds of the same size because of their rarity and limited supply."

Like white diamonds, pink diamonds are extremely durable, making them an excellent engagement ring stone. “They are the hardest known natural substance, and only another diamond can scratch your diamond,” certified diamontologist Kim Kanary says. “Diamonds are known for their high dispersion and brilliance, which cause the scintillating flashes of color and light that everyone loves.” Basically, you get the durability and strength of a white diamond in a pretty hue.

To help you find a gorgeous pink ring, we've researched and narrowed down the best pink diamond engagement rings that are perfect for any proposal. For something more dainty and sweet, we love the Lustergems Cushion Pink Diamond Engagement Ring and the Astteria Fancy Purple Pink Diamond Ring. Going for something totally bold?

What to Look For When Choosing a Pink Diamond Engagement Ring

Metal

In this case, the metal you select for your engagement ring goes beyond your personal taste. The metal pink diamonds are set in largely contribute to the shade of pink that shimmers from the stone. "The metal type you choose will actually bring out different hues in the pink of your center stone," says buyer Amanda Treviso. "Choose white gold or platinum if you want a pale pink. Choose rose gold to really give a deep rich color to your pink."

Band

When you say yes to a pink diamond engagement ring, you're already stepping outside the box, so have some fun with the band you choose, too! "Don't feel like you have to match the color in your bands. Diamond bands always complement a colorful center nicely, so don't limit your options. I would recommend a diamond or all metal band to really showcase your center stone color," suggests Treviso.

Style

Your engagement ring should be a complete and utter representation of your personal style as well as you and your fiancée's love. "This is totally personal and up to you, but any style will work nicely. It depends on if you want your ring to be romantic, modern, trendy, etc.," Treviso explains. However you may style your pink diamond engagement ring, go in the direction that feels true to you.
