How to Pick a Lab Grown Color Diamond

• Focus on color first, not clarity.
• Choose at least a clearly visible intensity.
• Pick a shape that enhances color.
• Balance size and color strength
• Decide between natural and lab-grown based on budget.

Made To Order Approach

• You can control how strong the color appears.
• You can match the design to the stone instead of adjusting later.
• The final piece feels more personal.

Even simple customizations, like changing the metal or setting, can completely change how the diamond looks when worn.

Matching Diamond Settings to Each Color

There isn’t one “best” setting; it depends on what you want the diamond to look like:

If you want a stronger color, go for enclosed or warm-toned settings. If you want a brighter appearance, choose open prong settings. If you want contrast, use white diamonds or lighter metals around the stone. With all diamond colors, the setting isn’t just support; it directly affects how the color is seen. For example:

Yellow diamonds → Yellow gold, bezel, solitaire

Pink diamonds → Rose gold, halo, hidden halo

Reddish pink → Rose gold bezel, double halo, three-stone

Blue diamonds → White gold/platinum, prong, halo

Vivid blue → Double halo, pave band, platinum

Green diamonds → Simple prong, minimal bezel

Black diamonds → White metal contrast, halo

Champagne diamonds → Rose gold, vintage settings
