Celebrating 2023 Color of the Year: Engagement Rings Inspired by Viva Magenta
It’s that time of year again! Pantone has announced their 2023 Color of the Year: Viva Magenta. The color is described as a crimson-red hue that strikes the right balance between warm and cool, inspired by cochineal, one of the most vivid dyes in the world.
The shade signifies a return to nature and symbolizes bravery, joy, and passion. For that reason, we’re also declaring Viva Magenta and similar tones as the engagement ring color of the year.
Fortunately, our catalog features a wide range of ruby, champagne, and lavender rings that allow you to participate in celebrating this year’s bold color as you celebrate your eternal love. So, keep scrolling to find colored gemstone engagement rings that mimic Viva Magenta’s undeniable beauty.
Not Your Classic White Diamond Rings
The classic white diamond - we’ve seen it, and we love it. But it’s not for everyone, especially those who want an engagement ring that stands out. The answer? Colored gemstones.
Colored gemstones are known for their striking beauty, captivating attention with their unique, non-white tones. Whether you’re looking for something on the subtle side or a bold pop of color, such stones are guaranteed to yield double takes wherever you go.
If you’re looking for inspiration, ruby engagement rings certainly deserve to be on your radar.
Viva Magenta: Romantic Vivid Red Ruby
One glance at a dazzling ruby, and you’re instantly taken back by its rich, gorgeous hue. They’re known for their ultra-romantic appearance, their deep red color stimulating intense emotions at just the sight.
They’re popularly associated with protection and prosperity, making rubies an excellent choice for an engagement ring and to showcase your passionate love. Not to mention, they’re incredibly rare, offering the same exclusivity factor as their diamond counterparts.
Viva Magenta: Pinkish Peach
If you’re not willing to commit to such a striking stone, you can opt for a softer choice, such as a pink, peach, or padparadscha. These colors have a history associated with royalty, renowned for their power to establish harmony between partners - perfect for restoring peace in high-tension moments.
For instance, our Oval Pastel Padparadscha Sapphire Ring delivers a beautiful feminine hue that is linked to love and tenderness. Its pale pink appearance is both soft and sweet while still straying from the traditional white diamond. Additionally, sapphires are just as hard as diamonds and are durable enough for daily wear. Such strength and uniqueness of sapphires is symbolic of every long-term love.
Viva Magenta: Lavender Purple
Another color inspired by Viva Magenta? Purple and similar shades, such as lavender, lilac, and blue. These colors maintain the regal quality of rubies but are slightly more subtle. Purple symbolizes purity, grace, and devotion, its elegant nature standing out in fields of lavender or on your finger as an engagement ring.
Our purple sapphire rings are beloved for that very reason, boasting a uniquely beautiful look that you’ll love. For example, this solitaire sapphire ring features a lavender-purple sapphire in a bezel setting for a minimal design that still makes a lasting impact on your special day and beyond.
Viva Magenta: Perfect Alternative Engagement Rings
While white diamonds certainly have their place, there’s something to be said for colored gemstones. Each has a unique meaning and displays a stunning appearance, from soft, dainty pinks to bold, beautiful rubies. As a result, they make gorgeous additions to every bridal stack.
So, how do you make your stone selection? The trick is to do your research and discover what speaks most to you. So, whether you’re called by a champagne sapphire ring or a ruby and diamond engagement ring, we guarantee once you say yes, you’ll never go back.
