While it’s difficult to pinpoint the start of the trend, most celebrity watchers agree that it started when singer Jennifer Lopez became engagement to actor Ben Affleck. Back in 2002, Ben proposed to Jennifer with a stunning pink diamond ring weighing in at 6.1 carats. The heart shaped pink diamond engagement ring was produced by famed jeweler, Harry Winston and sold for $1.2 million dollars. While their relationship wasn’t destined to last, diamonds are indeed forever. The ring was eventually re-acquired by Harry Winston, and it’s current status remains unknown. 

In 2004, famed football player David Beckham gave his wife Victoria a similar ring. It was a gorgeous 10 carat pink diamond ring with matching earrings. According to various tabloid publications and reports in the mainstream press, David had an extramarital affair with another woman and i an effort to redeem himself purchased the rare colored diamonds to symbolize his love for his wife. A friend of the couple was quoted as saying "diamonds are forever, just like their marriage". It seems to have done the trick, as David and Victoria Beckham are a happily married couple to this day. 

 

Famous supermodel Heidi Klum has also been spotted recently wearing a large, fancy yellow diamond ring. It was given to her by her husband and popular singer, Seal as a symbol of his love and devotion to his beloved wife. While fancy yellow diamonds are abundant compared to canary yellow diamonds, there is no doubt that this ring holds a special place in Heidi’s heart. These famous natural colored diamonds have become almost as popular as the celebrity couple themselves.
