Blue Diamond Engagement Rings Are Classy, Unique And Expensive.
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 deeper colored diamonds are worth the most money. Most people would rather have a consistent, deep hue, than a uneven, multicolored blue diamond.
All engagement rings are expensive, but a blue diamond engagement ring can cost much more money. A natural blue diamond can cost as much as 10-50 times as much as a regular diamond of the same size. This range is due to Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat. For this reason, natural blue diamonds are out of most people’s price ranges.
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’.
Diamonds which are colored by man, can be natural diamonds, or man made diamonds. A man made diamond, also called a synthetic diamond is grown in a lab. These diamonds are made by inserting carbon dioxide into hot plasma. This mimics the high temperatures which form natural diamonds. While being grown, they are treated with the same chemicals which make natural diamonds blue, giving the diamonds the same 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.
