The Beauty of Colored Diamonds
When brides think about their wedding jewelry it often becomes a very limited “palette”. There will be the silver or gold and then the crystal clarity of the diamonds. Some might think about the fiery sparkle of a stone like an opal or even mother of pearl, but not until recent years have many considered adding colored diamonds to their wedding apparel.
Today, however, there are many brides who happily add a bit of pink, yellow, pale blue or even lilac to their wedding day look with the purchase of colored diamond jewelry. They also are beginning to include these valuable stones in the pieces worn by the entire bridal party as well.
The reasons for the popularity of colored diamonds are many, and include the fact that many celebrities choose them over the more “traditional” colorless diamonds and inspire “everyday” people to emulate them; that they are extremely valuable and only appreciate with age; and that they make a remarkable and unique statement.
Not many people realize that some of the world’s most famous diamonds are also colored diamonds – consider the “Hope Diamond”, which is a blue stone or the “Uncle Sam” which is a pink diamond. The colors occur naturally and range through every hue and shade imaginable. This means that they offer an endless variety of options for anyone who wants a truly unique piece of jewelry, particularly a bride to be.
Imagine a necklace, bracelet and earrings for a bride that is accented with pale yellow or pink diamonds. Such an option could be expanded to include the colors of the bridal party’s clothing and accessories as well. The colored diamonds could even coordinate with the flowers and linens if that was something a bride and groom should want to do.
Choosing colored diamonds allows a bride and groom to own very valuable jewelry that offers a unique form of style and appeal that will only increase as the years pass.
