Colored Gemstone Engagement Rings
Why choose a colored gemstone for your engagement ring?
To make your ring unforgettable. Add a pop of personality with sapphires, rubies, emeralds—or go bold with a fancy color diamond.
While diamonds are classic, they’re not your only option for your engagement ring. More and more couples are choosing vibrant gemstones as centerpieces or accents as an expression of their personality in their engagement rings. From the deep blues of sapphire to the brilliant green of emerald or the fiery red of ruby, colored gemstones offer bold individuality and timeless appeal. Looking for that pop of color? Learn more about the myriad of color options open to you!
How do I find an engagement ring that stands out?
Colored gemstones let you express your style in a very personal way. For those looking to combine tradition with a twist, consider incorporating colored side stones or a hidden halo. We also carry a selection of rare and fancy color diamonds—yellow, champagne, pink, and more—for those who want something utterly unique, but with all the durability of a diamond. Explore alternative gemstones.
Is a Lab-Grown Engagement Ring for you?
Same Beauty. Different Origin.
Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are chemically and visually identical to mined diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds have grown in popularity for good reason. They are physically, chemically, and optically identical to natural diamonds—and often come at a more approachable price point.
At Lewis Jewelers, we carry a thoughtfully curated selection of lab-grown engagement rings for couples looking for modern alternatives. Our team will walk you through the differences between lab-grown and natural diamonds, so you can make a decision that aligns with your values, preferences, and budget.
Are lab-grown diamonds a more budget-friendly option for engagement rings?
Many couples find they can go bigger or higher quality with lab-grown—without compromise.
Whether you’re considering lab-grown diamonds to maximize your budget, we’re here to provide transparent, expert guidance. Explore lab-grown engagement rings →

Discover our most sought-after styles!
Color
This trend started many years ago when Diana, the Princess of Wales, showed off her blue sapphire ring! If you're after a splash of color, you'll be glad to know that engagement rings with colored gemstones are totally in style. Whether you want something subtle or bold, colorful stones are a standout way to put a fresh twist on a classic ring.
Vintage & Deco
As the saying goes, “Everything old is new again.” Vintage inspired and Art Deco styles are making a stunning comeback, capturing the charm and craftsmanship of past eras. For us, it’s all about preserving a touch of nostalgia in today’s world. It’s a style that’s both sentimental and magical!
Geometric Elongated Shapes
We love this trend! Elongated center stones are simply striking! Popular cuts like oval, emerald, marquise, elongated cushions, and radiants are a great look, adding a touch of elegance and they also help to elongate the finger!
Wider Bands
If you are looking to make a statement – a bold, wide band will do it! These engagement rings don’t just look strong – they give you extra room for cool details like engraved patterns or pavé diamonds. It’s also great if you’re looking for durability!
Fancy Three Stones
Three-stone rings have always been popular but now offer a modern twist. Pairing a traditional center stone with fancy-shaped side stones like pears, trapezoids, or baguettes adds depth and personality. All quite eye-catching!
The Stack
Ring stacks are a huge trend, especially when one band just isn’t enough. Pair wedding bands with “tiara” style bands that create half-halos around the center stone for a perfect match. Adding a new band each year also makes a meaningful anniversary gift!
Classic Rounds
Timeless and likely to stay on-trend, a simple band with a stunning round diamond is perfect for the bride-to-be who loves a style that’s elegant yet understated.
Hidden Accents
Add a playful twist to simple designs with hidden elements that bring a unique, sentimental touch. From discreet diamond halos and intricate gallery designs to tiny colored gemstones set on the inner band, these surprise details make each ring personal and meaningful.
There’s more to the metal
You’ve found the diamond and the setting—now let’s choose the perfect metal. From timeless classics like gold and platinum to durable modern alternatives, each metal brings its own unique benefits to the table—especially when it comes to men’s bands.
Think about the look you love, but also consider how the metal will fit into your lifestyle. If you’re always on the go or work with your hands, platinum might be ideal: it’s extremely durable, naturally white, and hypoallergenic—perfect for sensitive skin and everyday wear. Prefer a warm, traditional look? Yellow gold offers rich, golden tones and timeless appeal, while white gold delivers a bright, elegant finish and often comes with a protective rhodium plating to enhance shine. Rose gold, with its romantic blush hue, has become a popular favorite for its vintage feel and flattering warmth.
For those looking for something ultra-tough or more budget-friendly, alternative metals like tungsten or titanium are also worth considering—especially for men’s rings, where scratch resistance and strength are key.
Let’s pick a metal that matches not only your style, but also your life. Here’s a guide to help you get started!
