The pink colour in pink diamonds is formed through rare natural occurrences, which is why the colour brilliance of each pink diamond determines its value.

Pink diamonds are most commonly paired with white gold and rose gold, however can be uniquely crafted in yellow gold metal; rose gold is a favourite choice as it complements pink diamonds.

Not only does rose gold magnify the allure of your pink diamond, but it also adds a harmonious contrast to any skin tone.
Alternative settings in white and yellow gold
