If you’re looking for something pretty, feminine and subtle, pastel engagement rings are a great choice. Rather than bold colours, these rings feature stones in muted tones. They add a touch of colour without being too over the top. Working well as feature stones or as accent stones, there are numerous ways to bring in a touch of soft colour to your ring. This includes coloured diamonds as well as lighter-coloured gemstones. Keep reading to see just how gorgeous pastel engagement rings can be…
Pastel Engagement Rings to Inspire
Here are just a few ways to add some pastel colour to engagement rings.
Pale Sapphire

Sapphires come in a wide variety of colours. While a bright, brilliant, deep blue is most commonly associated with this stone, they are also found in softer shades of blue. There are also pink, blue and other coloured sapphires. In this three stone ring, a muted blue sapphire takes centre stage, with small diamonds flanking the stone on each side.
Pink Diamond

Coloured diamonds are a perfect choice if you want all the strength and shine of a diamond, with a touch of colour. Diamonds come in all colours under the sun, from classic white diamonds to black diamonds. Pink diamonds are feminine and classic, working well with white diamonds and bands in any metal. Opt for a classic design or try something more modern for a splash of subtle colour.
Ombre Tourmaline

Tourmaline rings are extremely versatile. This is because tourmaline comes in many different colours, from blue to green, purple and pink. Many tourmaline stones have colour gradients as well. In this ombre ring, a range of individual stones in pink, peach, yellow, green and blue make a statement, in a modern yellow gold band. This ring will stand out for all the right reasons, making it ideal for those who favour bolder styles.
Orange Diamond

This ring features a warm orange-yellow coloured diamond. With an east-west marquise stone surrounded by a halo of tiny white diamonds that continue along its gold band, the ring is unique and stunning. The east-west ring trend is great for modern brides wanting something a little different. The addition of a coloured centre diamond will make this ring even more unique.
Round Aquamarine

By their nature, aquamarines are pale stones that have a soft turquoise colour. Although some have a brighter colour, many are naturally pale. These stones work well in every style. In this classic halo design, tiny pave diamonds surround a round aquamarine. This ring would work well with any metal – platinum, white gold, yellow gold or rose gold.
Light Amethyst

Ranging in colour from deep purple to softer shades of lavender, amethysts add colour to any ring design. These stones work especially well as accent stones. In this design, tiny pave stones form a winding eternity band that intertwines with diamonds. This sparkling eternity band leads up to a single diamond. This is a modern style that still manages to be minimal, despite its purple hues.
Rosy Morganite
