What is a pink diamond?

A pink diamond is the same stone as a traditional white diamond, but much rarer. Pink diamonds can be found around the world, but more than 90% of natural pink diamonds come from Western Australia in the Argyle mine. These diamonds are created in the kimberlite pipes of volcanoes and are exposed to way more heat and pressure than the traditional white diamond---therefore allowing them to express a pink hue versus the sparkling white.

More recently, lab-created diamonds have become just as popular as natural stones, and pink diamonds are no exception. Labs can create a vast range of pink colors, from deep magentas to neon pink diamonds. The majority of Brilliant Earth's selection is lab diamonds due to natural pink diamonds being so rare and expensive.

Is Rose Quartz a pink diamond?

Rose Quartz is not the same as a pink diamond. Quartz is formed through magma crystallization, meaning that it is created when magma cools. When the magma slowly drops in temperature, it will begin to crystallize—similar to water turning into ice as it cools. This is pretty much opposite from how diamonds are formed under extremely high heat and pressure.

If you're thinking of having Rose Quartz as an engagement ring, keep in mind that it will not be as durable as a diamond engagement ring and may wear over time. The stone will also not have the clarity of most diamonds. All in all, it is a very different stone from pink diamonds, so be sure to do your research before purchasing it as a substitute.

How much is a pink diamond worth?

Natural pink diamonds can be extraordinarily expensive, costing as much as $700,000 per carat. Pink diamonds with 1 carat can go for $75,000, despite their low clarity and visible inclusions. However, you may find a beautiful pink diamond under a carat with a hue that you like—it all depends on the wearer's taste.

Knowing how expensive natural pink diamonds are, most buyers go for lab-made pink diamonds. These stones offer a significant advantage over natural diamonds in both cost and visual appeal. They're also a very sustainable alternative, as laboratory diamonds eliminate concerns related to environmental impact, labor practices, and diamond mining conflicts. Lab diamonds can range from $700 to $80,000, and you'll have many more options to choose from in terms of carat, intensity, and brilliance.
