Whether it’s having some of the world’s most expensive diamonds for big fashion moments or wearing them in unexpected ways (think headpieces and ear cuffs), we often look to famous faces for inspiration for fine jewelry.
A trend that will stay here? Colored Diamonds.
From engagement rings to treasured pieces in their collections and everything in between, here are the celebrities proving that colored diamonds really are a celebrity’s best friend.

Soon to be mother of four, Blake Lively wears a stunning engagement ring with oval pink diamonds in a solitaire setting.
The rose-pink stone, estimated at around $2 million, is paired with a rose gold band lined with tiny, sparkling diamonds, and Lively describes the ring as one of her “cherished possessions.” “.
Since pink diamonds are among the rarest colored diamonds in the world, the actress isn’t the only famous face to count a blush diamond in his collection.
Another fan of pink diamonds was the late Queen Elizabeth II, who on her marriage to the Duke of Edinburgh in 1947 was gifted a 54 carat intense pink diamond which was later attached to a brooch worn on many royal occasions, including their Silver Jubilee 30 years later.
One of the world’s most prized jewels, over 90 percent of the world’s pink diamonds were mined at Argyle Mine in the remote part of Western Australia’s East Kimberley region. Since its closure in 2020, the pink stones have become rarer than ever and therefore exponentially more valuable.
Australian owned company Pink Kimberley acquired many of these argyle pink diamonds before the mine closed and now carry Australia’s most prized stones in award winning contemporary designs. With collections of engagement and dress rings, pendants and earrings, Pink Kimberley is unparalleled in transforming these rare stones into elegant, sparkling pieces.
Argyle pink diamonds – now in limited stock – range in color from soft blush to deep magenta and are among the finest and most beautiful in the world, all found at Pink Kimberley.
On the sunny side: The It Girls

While stunning designer dresses, makeup looks to fall in love with and swooning hairstyles make or break a red carpet appearance, celebrities often draw the most attention for their choice of accessories.
Look no further than the latest iteration of It Girls and you’ll find that yellow-tinged diamonds have become spotlight-stealing additions to their outfits.
Pam & Tommy star Lily James wore a twisted yellow diamond necklace on the Oscars red carpet earlier this year, the perfectly subtle pairing for her pretty pink Atelier Versace dress.
And Bridgerton star Simone Ashley donned golden glam at this year’s Met Gala, accessorizing her gold and black Moschino bustier crop with a diamond choker with a yellow diamond in the centre.
The girl of the moment Zendaya hardly leaves the house without her yellow diamond ring, and the Euphoria star calls the 8-carat stunner her “treat yourself” gift. While the canary-yellow cushion-cut diamond has sparked engagement rumors, the actress says she bought it as a “bounty” to one day pass on to her grandchildren as a family heirloom.
A rainbow collection: Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez’s engagement ring from Ben Affleck, one of the most prolific colored diamond collectors, features an 8.5 carat natural green diamond. While the actress and singer calls green her “lucky color,” her engagement ring isn’t the only colored diamond the 53-year-old has owned.
When her now-husband first proposed in 2002, he even presented the star with a 6.1 sunray-cut pink diamond. The ring turned the couple into “jewelry influencers,” reigniting the pink diamond trend and dramatically increasing their popularity (and value).
Shortly after breaking off her first engagement to Affleck, she was gifted an 8.5-carat blue diamond valued at an estimated $4 million by singer Marc Anthony.
And her love of colored diamonds doesn’t stop with rings: Husband Ben Affleck recently surprised her with a pair of green and pink diamond earrings.
