What is Blue Diamond Jewelry?
Blue Diamond Jewelry is a stunning form of "fancy coloured diamonds" that`s freshly gaining in popularity amongst diamond and jewellery enthusiasts.
Blue diamonds are rude, authentic white diamonds that have been heat and/or pressure treated to incur their beautiful blue hue. So although blue diamond jewelry is treated, it is however a genuine diamond.
There are also naturally occuring blue diamonds, however, they are exceptionally rare. Blue diamond jewelry made by purely by nature, could cost as much as many hundred thousand dollars or more.
Treated blue diamonds, nevertheless, will cost significantly less and is a fashionable and unique option to a regular white diamond -- and they can cost less than white diamonds too, at approximately half the price, for a quality colored diamond piece.
The reason blue diamond jewelry can cost less is because you do not want to begin with a perfectly white diamond since you`re going to be treating it anyway to change the color to blue. A fancy colored diamond producer, will start with a yellowish or low color grade diamond and treat it blue, therefore costing less than a high-end white diamond. Wherever the price differences come into play, however, are in the clarity and inclusion level of that diamond.
A popular form of colored diamonds, blue diamond rings , for example, will often be an I1 or I2 clarity diamond due to the fact that treating the diamond blue will mask most of the inclusions -- so a higher end diamond is often not needed, thereby cutting the cost of a colored fancy diamond in that way also. Some, even so, will opt for an SI1-SI2 clarity blue diamond, which is more expensive, but often worth the upgrade, especially if purchasing the diamond for an engagement or wedding ring. Even so, the price will often still be less than a white diamond.
