You would be hard pressed to find a woman or girl that did not like pink as a fashion color. Pink rings have to be up there as women’s’ all time favorite fun jewelry. Many years ago pink jewelry took off as a fashion statement when every woman started wearing pink ice rings. Women no longer wear pink CZ in their pink ring as they used to because other pink gems that look better and don’t have that fake look have become better liked. Pink diamond rings again became popular as a bridal look when Ben Affleck in 2003 proposed to Jennifer Lopez with this 3 carat pink diamond ring. 
Since that time pink engagement rings became the look for bridal jewelry.
Although regular women could not afford natural pink diamonds, the look stuck and soon they were using all manner of pink gemstones to replicate the look. Pink diamond rings became all the rage while pink sapphire became one of the most popular gemstones because of its similarity to the pink hue that exists in pink diamonds. Pink sapphire was way less expensive and came in some fabulous shades. Added to this was the fact that the stone was durable and even though sapphires were treated to get this color, the pink never faded.
Pink tourmaline rings also became popular. This is not the bright pink hue that pink sapphire is known for but it is more of a “dirty” pink with some hints of rust in it. It is also a much softer stone than sapphire and somewhat less expensive in the lower qualities. Pink tourmaline does have its own enthusiasts and collectors who like fine pink tourmaline. The more saturated and brighter pink tourmaline is known as rubellite and is prices higher than regular pink tourmaline and bi colored tourmaline.
Pink gold rings have been slow to take off because of its association with tri color gold and black hills gold. However pink gold is now being combined with gemstones in unusual ways and has experienced something a resurgence. Women like the soft look of pink gold when combined with stones such as smoky quartz. The pink amethyst ring is also frequently combined with pink gold. Pink gold goes particularly well with softer and paler colored stones that are pink in color like morganite and kunzite.
Pink pearl rings came in late to the pink ring scene because previously pink freshwater pearls were
not round enough for use. Over time pink pearls have improved in quality and are quite popular also in the pink earrings category fulfilling the need for dangling pearl earrings in a pink hue.
The soft pink of freshwater pearls is a great match for color saturated gemstones like pink sapphire and pink tourmaline like the ring to the right which sports a beautiful 10mm pink pearl with matching pink tourmalines on the sides. Pink gemstone rings now encompass a wide range of new semi precious stones that add different textures and hues to the overall pink rings category.
