I know in certain parts of Europe they always have been but I''m starting to see quite a few around San Francisco. In one month alone on three different people with colored stone rings on the left hand .
First a gorgeous art deco five carat emerald cabochon in platinum with minimal diamonds on the sides. It was really TDF! Then a large pastel colored padparadscha sapphire in a simple platinum solitaire with no sidetones ( didn''t need sidestones either. The stone was from Goldberry in SF ). And a blue sapphire solitaire in gold with small diamonds around the shank. It used to be that most engagement rings I saw in the city were just diamonds between 1/2 and 1 carat so it''s interesting to see some color.
