I have a vivid memory as a young girl, walking through the checkout line at the grocery store with my mother, when I first saw one of the world’s most famous colored diamond engagement rings. On the cover of a magazine was Jennifer Lopez, eagerly showing off her new pink diamond engagement ring to the press. I had no idea diamonds could possibly come in colors.
While we often associate diamonds with colorless gems, science is a magical thing. Natural diamonds form deep within the Earth under extreme heat and pressure, developing when carbon atoms bond in a crystal lattice structure. But when certain variables are introduced, the color of these sparkling stones can span the entirety of the rainbow. If the internal trapping of non-carbon atoms enters the scenario, structural distortions or even changes in pressure can alter the stone during the formation process, resulting in a technicolor dream in a stunning range of hues.

Jennifer Lopez Has a Kaleidoscope of Colored Diamond Engagement Rings
While J.Lo is far from the only star with a colored diamond engagement ring, she may have the largest variety of hues in her collection. The multi-hyphenate superstar has had a swath of suitors get down on one knee asking for her hand in marriage. Lopez has been engaged six times, and three of those diamond rings have glistened in captivating colors.
Jennifer Lopez’s Pink Diamond Engagement Ring From Ben Affleck
In 2002, the original “Bennifer” era launched into the stratosphere when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez began their romance after meeting on the set of their film, Gigli. Taking note of Lopez’s affection for the color pink, Affleck proposed with a custom 6.1-carat radiant-cut fancy intense pink diamond ring from Harry Winston, flanked by two white diamond baguette accents. Lopez later revealed that Affleck even had the word “sing” engraved on her ring. Though the pair called off their engagement in 2004, the ring ignited a frenzy for pink diamonds.
Jennifer Lopez’s Blue Diamond Engagement Ring From Marc Anthony
Shortly after Ben and Jen broke things off, Lopez reconnected with an old flame – singer Marc Anthony. He got down on one knee in 2004, proposing with an 8.5-carat radiant-cut blue diamond engagement ring with baguette-cut accents from Harry Winston. After tying the knot in a private ceremony at Lopez’s home in Beverly Hills, the couple remained married for 10 years, welcoming twins Max and Emme together before finalizing their divorce in June 2014. Even as recently as 2021, Lopez revealed that her blue diamond is still her most treasured piece of jewelry.
Jennifer Lopez’s Green Diamond Engagement Ring From Ben Affleck
Twenty years after her first engagement to Ben Affleck, the couple rekindled their romance in 2021. After proposing with the beguiling pink diamond, Affleck popped the question again in 2022 with another extraordinary gem, adding to Lopez’s impressive lineup of colored diamond engagement rings. This time around, Affleck presented Lopez with an 8.5-carat cushion-cut green diamond set on a platinum band– a diamond with an even rarer color than the first, its hue symbolizing luck for the couple.
The central green diamond was sourced by Ilan Portugali, while Tamara Rahaminov and her daughter, Nicol Goldfiner Barlev of Rahaminov Diamonds, were responsible for the design of the ring. The mother-daughter duo tells Only Natural Diamonds, “Colored diamonds are extraordinary because no two are ever truly alike. Each stone carries its own personality, tone, and intensity, which makes every piece inherently one-of-one. For an engagement ring, that individuality becomes deeply meaningful. It reflects a personal story rather than a trend.”
The Rahaminovs explain, “We are always drawn to diamonds with the strongest, most vivid color presence. Saturation and intensity make a colored diamond truly captivating.” They say, “The process is always guided by the individual couple. The right diamond ultimately reflects their personality and the emotion they want the ring to carry. We particularly love working with blues, pinks, and greens because each of those colors expresses something different while still feeling timeless.”
After tying the knot in 2022, the couple went their separate ways and finalized their divorce in 2025. Per court documents, Lopez was permitted to keep the exceptional green diamond engagement ring.
Victoria Beckham Has a Spectrum of Colored Diamond Engagement Rings
Victoria Beckham also has a colorful assortment of natural diamonds, racking up an impressive collection of 15 different engagement rings throughout her 26-year-long marriage to legendary footballer David Beckham. Showing off some staggeringly beautiful jewels on her left ring finger, the Spice Girls veteran has accumulated at least two pink diamond rings and two yellow diamond rings.
In 2004, the fashion icon debuted an oval-shaped pink diamond ring with a white diamond halo, reportedly purchased by David for her 30th birthday. Two years later, Victoria was seen with an emerald-cut yellow diamond on that finger. By 2010, she was sporting a new oval-shaped pink diamond in a different, daintier setting than the first. These days, Beckham has been wearing a Fancy Intense natural yellow diamond, set on a yellow gold pavé band. First spotted in 2018, she’s kept this jewel in her rotation for quite a few years now.
Joining the exclusive yellow diamond engagement ring club, Beckham is in good company.

He explained that Johansson once lost her engagement ring – when she told him she feared she may have “accidentally” thrown the ring in the garbage, Jost “looked through 12 dumpsters of trash,” he said on the game show. With no luck in finding the ring, he went back inside. “She said, ‘Oops! It was in my pocket,” he said, “It was a great day for me.” Romantically linked since 2017, the couple married in October 2020.

Why Celebs Can’t Get Enough of Colored Diamond Engagement Rings

A colored diamond has an ‘if you know, you know’ quality that makes it feel intimate and personal.”
That exclusivity is part of what makes colored diamond engagement rings so enduringly desirable. From Jennifer Lopez’s collection of pink, blue, and green diamonds to the yellow, brown, and pink stones favored by other celebrities, these extraordinary natural diamonds offer something increasingly rare in today’s world: true individuality. Formed by nature over billions of years and found in only a tiny fraction of all diamonds, colored diamond engagement rings allow couples to express their personal style while wearing one of the Earth’s rarest treasures.
