Wow it's really crazy how many colors diamonds can come in! I had no idea about the rare and famous ones. Maybe i'm just traditional but I still like the normal clear and shiny diamond as my top choice!

I had no idea there were so many colors of diamonds. Very pretty, but I agree with Mandy for an engagement ring I'd stick with something more traditional.
