I realize that if you’re judging a book by its cover a diamond by its color, a brown diamond doesn’t sound that appealing. A lot of brown things just aren’t that pretty: mud, dirty socks, tarantulas. I mean, no one’s favorite M&M is the brown M&M, right? And still, this engagement ring from Neil Lane—starring a brown diamond—took my breath away.
Neil Lane Fancy Color Diamond 18K Rose Gold Engagement Ring (R06173).
I mean, it’s called a “fancy color” diamond on the Neil Lane site—“chocolate diamonds” by other companies—but we can all agree that diamond is brown, right? But it’s gorgeous. Maybe it’s because the color is just SO perfect, or maybe it’s the way it looks with the rose gold, but I just adore the ring. It looks incredibly similar to Miley Cyrus’ engagement ring from Liam Hemsworth, below, which was also designed by Neil Lane, but I much prefer the brown diamond version.
Are you in love too? Or would you take the more traditional ring
