Discover the Allure of Coloured Engagement Rings with BAUNAT

Do away with the conventional 4Cs (carat, colour, clarity, and cut) that dictate the quality of colourless diamonds. Instead, plunge into the mesmerising world of coloured diamonds, where the beauty lies in the intensity of their colour. Known as fancy diamonds, these naturally coloured gems present themselves in a myriad of colours from enchanting yellow and sophisticated brown, to stunning green, romantic red, and tranquil blue. 

 

Read summary

Are you considering a unique alternative to traditional diamond engagement rings?

Colored diamonds, also known as fancy diamonds, offer a captivating departure from classic colorless stones. Unlike traditional diamonds judged by the 4Cs, these natural gems are valued primarily for their color intensity and come in stunning varieties including yellow, brown, green, red, and blue.

The GIA Colored Diamond Grading System evaluates these stones based on hue, tone, and saturation, with approximately 27 different tints possible. Terms like Fancy Light, Fancy Intense, and Fancy Vivid describe their depth of color. While deeply saturated colored diamonds command higher prices, even lighter-toned stones possess unique charm.

BAUNAT specializes in crafting high-quality colored diamond engagement rings in Antwerp, offering personalized service to help couples find the perfect stone that reflects their unique love story. These increasingly popular choices, especially in pink and yellow hues, provide a sophisticated alternative to traditional engagement rings.

If the traditional colourless solitaire doesn’t appeal to you, allow yourself to fall in love with coloured engagement rings, an increasingly sought-after choice. BAUNAT believes in capturing and enhancing the natural beauty of these stones, their value heavily influenced by their colour intensity. The art of sculpting these precious gems is different from colourless diamonds, placing a stronger emphasis on maximising colour intensity as opposed to clarity. 

 

A coloured diamond with low saturation will carry a lesser value, yet still possess its unique charm. However, as the depth and intensity of the colour increases, so does the value of these irresistible stones. A vibrantly coloured engagement ring will indeed entail a higher cost, but for those who wish to celebrate love with no expense spared, coloured diamond engagement rings, especially hues of pink and yellow, are a sublime choice. 

 

To appreciate coloured diamonds in all their vibrant glory, GIA developed the GIA Coloured Diamond Grading System. This system quantifies the hue (the actual colour), tone (the lightness or darkness of the colour), and saturation (the depth of the colour). A myriad of approximately 27 tints exist within these stones, often a blend of two or more colours like orange-yellow or purple-pink. Descriptive terminologies like Fancy Light, Fancy Intense, Fancy Vivid, Fancy Dark, and Fancy Deep elegantly capture the tone and saturation of these diamonds. 

 

At BAUNAT, we have a passion for unearthing the perfect coloured engagement ring that resonates with your love story. We handcraft exquisite jewellery in Antwerp, utilizing an unparalleled selection of high-quality diamonds suitable for every budget. Our personal service is dedicated to helping you discover the diamond that captures the essence of your unique bond. µ

Choosing a coloured diamond

When choosing a coloured diamond for an engagement ring, put colour intensity and hue harmony first. Stronger saturation reads more vividly on the hand, while lighter tones offer a softer, more romantic effect. Popular choices include vivid pinks for a bold, romantic look and sunny yellows for a warm, modern feel; blues and greens provide a subtle, refined contrast. BAUNAT makes settings in premium metals, favouring 18Kt gold alloys or platinum to complement and enhance a stone’s colour. Think about how the colour works with skin tone and any accent stones, and view the diamond in different lighting to assess depth and sparkle
