If you consider HPHT/irradiated diamonds, then the color can be quite striking, and considerably more saturated than most natural colored stones of melee size (0.005ct. - 0.20ct.).
These are examples of dark purplish, pinkish red to pink (0.15ct - 0.18ct.). You can also get coated melee in slightly lighter pink color.

As long as it''s got a good cut, it will sparkle (doesn''t matter if it''s pink, white, or yellow).

Colored diamonds are cut to maximize the color grade not the light performance.
A higher color grade results is a much much higher price than a lower color grade with better light performance.
Heck, they frequently don''t even bother grading the clarity on colored diamonds.
It''s all about shooting for the heaviest diamond of the highest color grade that is possible from the rough.
Whoa! LD - where can I see bigger pictures of your lovely ring? I''m considering pink diamond melee for one of my projects right now and good pictures are hard to come by. Have you got a thread about your ring?Date: 2/27/2009 5:55:42 PM

In my opinion, yes they sparkle but perhaps not as much as white diamonds! Here are some of mine, natural pinks set in rose gold (head of ring) and claws in the pendant are rose gold but set in w/gold surround!
