COLORED ENGAGEMENT/WEDDING RINGS!
Everyone around me knows that I love to be unique when it comes to engagement/wedding rings. I have a true love for stones that have color to them and stand out in a crowd. There is always something to say about a beautiful classic wedding set based on the 4 c's that is pure and white. The beauty of a perfect colorless diamond makes anyone stop and take a second look.
Today more and more people are searching for alternatives to the classic look. Many celebrities are turning to colored diamonds and gemstones to enhance their wedding/engagement settings. Now there are so many choices out there to really make your own statement.
I have picked out some famous celebrities and their rings that I fell in love with. I have also listed alternative examples to achieve similar looks without the famous celebrity price tag.

Morganite is awesome substitute for Pink Diamonds!
These rings range from 1/2-2 carats and cost $1200-$2500

| Blue Diamond |
Blue Sapphires are great for Blue Diamonds
Blue Sapphires depending on size, prices can vary from $2,000 to $10,000+ per carat. The record price at auction was slightly over 3 million dollars for a 22.66 carat Kashmir sapphire that was sold by Christie's in New York in 2007. So for the moment we can say that $135,000 per carat is the top price for blue sapphire.
Aquamarine is another Blue stone alternative for Blue Diamonds.
These rings range from 1/2-2.7carats and cost $2000-$2500.
