Thinking About Buying a Blue Diamond Engagement Ring?

Blue diamonds come in two distinct varieties: natural, and man-made. Natural blue diamonds are very expensive and rare. These are highly sought after, and very hard to find. The diamond is blue due to a chemical reaction which happens within the diamond. It is usually caused by traces of boron found within the diamond or large amounts of hydrogen. Naturally, the blue shade can range from a blue tint to a very deep blue.

The stones which are deepest in color are usually the most desired and therefore the most expensive. A diamond which is multi-colored, or has a variety of shades is worth less money because it most likely has impurities.

A blue diamond engagement ring will cost you much more than a traditional diamond ring-try ten to fifty times for the same quality stone! This is why most normal people cannot afford a natural blue diamond.

Although man-colored diamonds will never be worth as much as a natural one. Many people opt for them due to the price difference. The man-made ones are color treated using a process which combines intense heat and irradiation. This makes a blue diamond which looks almost identical to a natural one.

If you find a jeweler who is willing to sell you a natural blue diamond, be suspicious. These diamonds are so rare that most jewelers have never even seen one up close. Make sure to do your due diligence before buying a ‘fancy blue diamond’.

Color treated diamonds can be natural diamonds, or man-made. Man-made diamonds are grown in a lab through a process which involves inserting carbon dioxide into hot plasma. These diamonds are treated with the same chemicals which make natural blue diamonds have their color, therefore giving them a very similar look.

So, why would you even want a blue diamond engagement ring? Well, they are rare, so you will have a different ring that everybody else. Blue diamonds are a status symbol, they show someone has wealth, style, and determination. You can get a blue diamond and then have it put into any engagement ring setting you want.
