Pink diamonds have long been admired as some of the most captivating gemstones in fine jewellery. Their delicate yet distinctive colour sets them apart from traditional white diamonds, making them a favourite for women seeking a ring that reflects individuality, elegance, and confidence.
Whether you are searching for a statement piece, a meaningful milestone ring, or a unique engagement ring, this Pink Diamond Guide will help you understand how pink diamonds are graded, what influences their beauty, and how to choose the perfect one.
At Her Crown, our Aura Collection features IGI-certified lab-grown pink diamonds in carefully selected Fancy Intense and Fancy Vivid colour grades, handcrafted in timeless 14k or 18k gold settings.
What Is a Pink Diamond?
A pink diamond is a genuine diamond with a naturally occurring or laboratory-created pink body colour.
Unlike white diamonds, which are valued for the absence of colour, pink diamonds are prized for the richness, purity, and beauty of their colour.
Lab-grown pink diamonds share the same:
- Chemical composition
- Crystal structure
- Hardness (10 on the Mohs scale)
- Brilliance
- Fire
The difference is simply how they are created.

Are Lab-Grown Pink Diamonds Real?
Yes.
Lab-grown pink diamonds are real diamonds, not diamond simulants.
They are produced using advanced technology that recreates the natural diamond-growing process, resulting in diamonds that are optically, physically, and chemically identical to mined diamonds.
Many are independently graded by laboratories such as IGI, providing confidence in their quality and authenticity.

Gemologists assess:
Hue
The primary pink colour, which may sometimes include subtle secondary hues.
Tone

Generally, richer and more vibrant colour is considered more desirable.
