Pink Engagement Rings: 7 Pink Stones To Say “Yes” To
PINK!
The colour has many associations and stereotypes attached to it, but when someone owns their love for the colour (we see you, thinking about pink engagement rings 
) something absolutely ICONIC happens. Think, Barbie. Think, the 80s classic movie Pretty In Pink. Think Elle Woods from Legally Blonde – who by the way, had a pink engagement ring – scroll down to “Pink Sapphire” to see!
Did you know that there are a myriad of stones you can incorporate into your engagement ring? Not only that, but there are also a variety of stones and shades of pink to choose from!
We’re going to narrow in on 7 stones and their shades of pink so you can get an idea of which one is right for you.
pink diamonds
Are pink diamonds real? Can you have the best of both worlds – diamond and pink engagement rings? YES AND YES. So you love that glass slipper transparency of the diamond and the colour pink. Let’s talk about it! We often find colour shows up in diamonds as more of a wash because of that transparency. Think… glassy watercolour with sparkle! Pink diamond engagement rings come in a variety of shades – a more blush pink, champagne-y pink, saturated pinks. They also come in both natural and lab grown.
Let’s figure out what diamond shape you love, the shade of pink you love, and the rest is really about comparing them and trying them on.
Pink Engagement Rings: Pink Diamonds
Stone: Transparent, classic diamond sparkle, both natural and lab grown.
The Pink: wash of pink, come in shades of blush, champagne pink, and more saturated pinks.
pink moissanite
What?! Moissanites come in different colours…including pink?! YES AND YES. Moissanites have a characteristic vibrant pink. We love it because that deep vibrant pink meets the rainbow light spectrum moissanites have, giving it a whole extra layer of visual deliciousness.
Pink Engagement Rings: Pink Moissanite
Stone: Rainbow spectrum galore.
The Pink: Deep, vibrant, rainbow spectrum meets pink equals pinks within pink.
pink tourmaline
So you have your heart set on a saturated pink gemstone. Take a gander at the pink tourmaline! The focus here would really be on the saturated, almost fuchsia pink colour. The stone itself won’t carry the diamond transparency qualities or moissanite rainbow light refraction, but will have more body in the pink colour itself!
Pink Engagement Rings: Pink Toumaline
Stone: A gemstone letting its colour take the spotlight
The Pink: Saturated, fuschia-esque
Morganite
Morganites are of the most popular stones we create our pink engagement rings with. It has a glassy look, carrying two main shades of pink: peachy pink and baby bubble gum pink.
Pink Engagement Rings: Morganite
Stone: Clear, glass-like, popular 💁♀️
The Pink: Peachy pink or baby bubble gum pink.
pink sapphire
The fascinating thing about pink sapphires is that a lot of people immediately associate them as blue, and only blue. But the truth is they come in a large range of colours including your beloved, the pink. Pink sapphires aren’t as saturated so you’re able to enjoy the presence of those facets throughout the stone. They also come in a good range of pink, so you can get a lighter pink all the way to a darker magenta/fuschia pink.

Stone: Noticeable facets, come in lab grown and natural
The Pink: Less saturated pretty pink, come in a range from light to dark
pink topaz
Topaz in its purest form is white, but it does come in a rainbow spectrum of colours. Topaz pink is a sharp pink. It’s a pink that loves being pink. It’s the Barbie logo pink. What we love about topaz is it’s a naturally occurring gemstone, with a great price point. If you’re looking for a pink stone and really want to max out on size, pink topaz is a great way to do that because you’re not going to be paying a bigger premium as the stone gets bigger. This way your attention can really be focused on the right shade of topaz pink, and the shape of the stone.
Pink Engagement Rings: Pink Topaz
Stone: Naturally occurring gemstone at a great price point.
The Pink: Sharp, pink pink, Barbie logo pink
kunzite
Kunzite. The name is reminiscent of something you might say after someone sneezes, but hey, this pink is so special. There’s an iridescence to it, with shades of lighter periwinkle, lavender pink. It’s also a very rare stone!
Pink Engagement Rings: Kunzite
Stone: A rare gem indeed, iridescent
The Pink: Pale pink/purple, periwinkle pink, lavender, lilac
We hope this was a fun discovery process for your pink engagement ring dreams and you have a better idea of which stone you’re looking for! And we’re just getting started.
