Colored Engagement rings have become very popular and fashionable these days. If your guy put a gemstone ring with the rainbow of shades on you, it shows he really adores you. Colored gemstones, including colored diamonds, are actually a great deal rarer than the classic white diamond. Moreover, they come with special meanings, which far surpass the “girl’s best friend” connotation.
