Pink Sapphires - Get the J. Lo. Look Without the Price Tag
Ever since Jennifer Lopezs short-lived engagement, women the world over have been clamoring for the natural pink diamonds found in her engagement ring. Extremely rare in their natural form, pink diamonds are awfully priceynatural pink diamond engagement rings hardly ever sell for less than $10,000. Some white diamonds, known as irradiated pink diamonds, are treated to achieve a pink effect; still not an inexpensive proposition.
While the worlds most famous celebrities might not mind shelling out tens of thousands of dollars for jewelry, what are the rest of us mortals to do? If you want the pink diamond look without the pink diamond price tag, you might want to consider a pink sapphire. As genuine, untreated stones, pink sapphires can give you the look you want at the price you can afford, without resorting to synthetic materials.
To the uninitiated, pink sapphire might seem like an oxymoron. But the truth is, sapphires chemical composition comes in many different shades and colors. Believe it or not, rubies are actually red-colored sapphires; both are made of corundum. The multi-colored sapphire is becoming more and more popular, particularly in tennis bracelets that feature an entire spectrum of sapphire. Pink sapphires have a deeper, richer color than pink quartz or other semi-precious stones, and dont get damaged by heat treatments.
What can you do with pink sapphires? Pretty much anything. Set a large stone in an engagement ring to create that J. Lo. imitation; garnish a white diamond ring with pink sapphire accents; or use in any variety of pendants, bracelets, necklaces or rings. The latest rage is pink sapphires set into pink goldthe natural color combination creates a beautiful complement. Another very popular combination is pink sapphire in white gold, set with black rhodium prongs. The black rhodium deepens the pink color even more, generating a stunning contrast.
