If you are looking for blue diamonds, you will have to decide which type you are going to get: natural or man-made. Natural blue diamonds are extremely rare and therefore extremely expensive. The blue color in the diamond is caused by chemical impurities, usually, boron, or hydrogen. The diamonds range in color from a very light blue tint, to a deep royal blue. This is due to varying amounts of the chemicals in the diamond.

The most expensive diamonds are the deepest colored ones. Most of the colored stones are uneven or multicolored. These are worth much less.

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.

This is the reason why so many people prefer man-made color diamonds. They can look very similar to the natural ones, so most people (except your jeweler!) would know the difference. A normal natural diamond can be color treated with irradiation and intense heat. This process makes the diamond an even blue, beautiful, and affordable to many more people.

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.

Why would someone want a blue diamond engagement ring? There are many reasons for this. They are uncommon, so you won’t have to worry about having the same ring as somebody else. They are a status symbol, showing off wealth, style, and ingenuity. You can get engagement rings with a blue diamond in any setting you wish.
