If you are a person who has a knack for doing innovative, different and yet extremely effective things in life, then it is likely that you are looking for a unique method of asking your beloved to marry you. One of the ways through which you can achieve this is by popping the question to your beloved with an engagement ring that has a colored diamond in it. Colored diamonds are all the rage of the current engagement ring market, while, at the same time, not very common also.

There are two reasons why colored diamonds are not that visible everywhere. The first is that not a lot of people know about them and the second is that they tend to be expensive. However, there is a way through which you can get your beloved a colored diamond engagement ring that will make all her female friends sit up and take notice. Consider the following.

1. There are many colored diamonds in the world. In fact, one of the most expensive diamonds in the world is the Hope diamond which can be seen in the Smithsonian exhibits. Although the Hope diamond is blue in color, there are red, yellow, pink and many other types of colors that diamonds are available in.

2. Naturally colored diamonds tend to be very expensive. In fact, their costs can be ten or even fifty times the cost of normal colorless diamonds. The reason for this, as explained above, is that naturally colored diamonds with no flaws in them are extremely rare.

3. If you wish to buy a colored diamond engagement ring for your beloved, then you do not have to spend the kind of money described above because of the existence of treated diamonds. Treated diamonds are colorless diamonds that have gone through extensive treatment to give them color. This treatment involves extreme heat and irradiation.

4. The direct effect of the treatment process is that you can get colored diamonds for extremely low rates. If you are worried about people being able to tell the difference between a naturally colored diamond and a treated diamond then you can rest easy because only jewelers can do this.
