Classic cut diamonds, heart and oval cuts, a diamond ring, and mandala patterns make up the 30 printable pages of this diamond coloring pages collection of sparkling gems.
What’s Inside This Collection
Classic Cut Diamonds
Thirteen pages show the classic side view of a cut diamond, from thin-lined outlines to bold versions with thick, heavy edges.
Sparkling Diamonds
Seven pages add shine, with burst lines around a single gem, a glint of light, a page with DIAMOND lettering, and a cluster of five sparkling stones.
Round, Heart, and Oval Cuts
Three pages show diamonds seen from above, in a round cut, a heart shape, and an oval.
Mandala and Egg Designs
Two pages turn diamond facets into patterns, with a mandala made of diamond shapes and an egg-shaped gem with a flower at its center.
Diamond Ring
One page shows a diamond ring with a large stone set on the band.
Cartoon and Sticker Pages
Two pages use a playful style, with a cartoon diamond that has a smiling face and a bold sticker-style diamond with a rounded outline.
Textured Stones
Two pages draw more natural-looking stones, one with fan-shaped facets and one with a rough, textured surface.
What Diamond Coloring Pages Do
From the standpoint of the American Academy of Pediatrics, fine motor skill building is a central benefit of structured coloring practice for kids from 2 through 7. The easy end of the set is bold classic diamonds; the harder end is mandala and faceted designs.
After structured coloring activities, participants’ anxiety dropped by a measurable amount, an effect recorded in 2005 research in the Art Therapy Journal. The many triangular facets of a gem encourage long, even strokes.
Diamond is a form of carbon and the hardest natural material, and it is the birthstone for April.
How to Color Diamond Pages Well
- Facets: color each triangle a slightly different shade of one color, such as light blue, lilac, or pink, so the gem looks cut and shiny.
- Sparkle: leave small white spaces or add a silver gel pen on a few edges to suggest light bouncing off the stone.
- Rainbow flashes: a few facets in pale yellow, pink, and blue give the colorful flashes seen in a real diamond.
- Ring pages: gold or silver for the band, with a different color for the setting around the stone.
- Mandala diamonds: start at the center and alternate two or three colors outward for a balanced pattern.
