Can Engagement Rings Be Colored?

The short answer is yes! Your engagement ring should be a reflection of your personal style, so it can be any color you want it to be. Engagement rings with colored stones have soared in popularity in recent years thanks in part to celebrity rings like Blake Lively's blush pink diamond engagement ring and Kate Middleton's sapphire engagement ring, among others.

Colored engagement rings are made of either colored diamonds or colored gemstones. Whether you opt for a colorful center stone or accent colors, you can choose how much color, if any, you want to include in your engagement ring. Many love the idea of a birthstone engagement ring or some small birthstone accents for an extra meaningful touch.

Where to Buy Colored Engagement Rings

When shopping for engagement rings, it's important to find jewelers that carry a wide selection of colored rings so you have plenty to choose from. Below, we share our favorite brands that specialize in colored engagement rings. The Knot Vendor Marketplace is another great resource for locating jewelers near you.

Catbird: Brooklyn-based Catbird was started in 2004 out of a tiny storefront in Williamsburg. The store carried art supplies, jeans, candles and jewelry and quickly jewelry became the main focus of the brand. While they began producing affordable 14k gold jewelry for everyday wear, their engagement ring collection—dubbed "The Swans"—is a standout of the brand. Their ethically sourced and lab-grown diamonds as well as gemstone rings provide a unique selection. You can visit their Wedding Annex for in-person ring appointments or shop online. They even offer an at-home try-on kit so you can bring the Catbird studio to the comfort of your home.

Berlinger: Based in Los Angeles, Berlinger is a woman-owned and operated jewelry company best known for their "art deco-inspired rings and diamond mosaic collection, which combine a vintage aesthetic (so think more decorative, floral motifs, a lot of smaller diamonds in a unique pattern rather than a traditional single stone) with a ring made for modern women," designer and founder Michelle Berlinger tells us. To-be-weds seeking a modern engagement ring with elements of vintage design will love their selection of unique rings, many of which are made from colorful gemstones. In addition to the rings available on the website, you can also schedule a consultation to create a bespoke ring.

Sarah O. Jewelry: Sarah O. Jewelry is a woman and Latina-owned jewelry brand that is best known for its unique diamond, gemstone and custom fine jewelry. Owner Sarah Ortega grew up working alongside her mother, who owns a jewelry boutique in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she sparked a passion for jewelry design. After opening a Denver location of her mother's store, Ortega eventually morphed the business into Sarah O. Jewelry. Today, Ortega works with clients around the globe and loves getting to be a part of their special life milestones. Ortega values inclusion and strives to make her brand a welcoming space for everyone.

Staghead Designs: Brad Eaves and his wife Liz started Staghead Designs in 2012 after finding inspiration in an antler shed they discovered near their home. They were underwhelmed with the engagement ring selection available on the market and decided to use this antler to craft something completely unique. They spent countless hours refining their skills to create beautiful artisan jewelry out of the antler. Today, they still create unique designs with the intention of becoming the next set of family heirlooms to be passed down for generations.

Alexis Russell: Alexis Russell Jewelry prides itself on "artistry with intention." They carefully select ethically sourced stones and recycled materials to create their jewelry, which is all hand-crafted in their design studio in Buffalo, New York. Alexis and her team adhere to the highest standards of fine jewelry design while also using only conflict-free stones in compliance with the Kimberley Process. In particular, the brand's selection of colored engagement rings stands out as one of the best out there.
