Blue diamonds are some of the rarest for engagement rings. However, they do do a good job giving your finger excellent taste, through this eye catching gem. Blue diamonds are dependent on the minerals that are around them during the time of their birth. High heat and carbon dioxide and a few other minerals within the earth’s mantle help construct this lovely diamond of the earth’s bosom. Natural blue diamonds are a true rarity, so many jewelers have come up with a process of making their own blue diamonds using heat, radiation, and pressure. This process is very close, almost authentic, to the process that the earth uses to conceive blue diamonds. But the downside to this process is that it is expensive to do, which results in a more expensive engagement ring, yet the lovely deep blue diamond upon your finger will be worth every penny of it.
Blue diamonds look prime in a platinum or silver setting, but yellow gold will surely cause your blue diamond to radiate perfectly. Cuts that look good with this diamond would be the round cut, which would give it optimum sparkle. But if you decide this unique color deserves a unique cut, the emerald, or Asscher cut would be perfect for you. But check out some pros and cons before purchasing your blue diamond engagement ring.
Pros:
Blue Diamond Engagement Ring
- It will catch the eyes of all who see your finger
- Sets your status
- Will satisfy the quota for “something blue” in a traditional bride’s wedding
- Blue diamond settings are normally in white gold
- There are many styles in which the blue diamond can be set in
Cons:
- Blue diamonds are expensive
- Usually smaller in size due to their expense
- It is man-made, because real blue diamonds are too rare and expensive
- Shopping for blue diamonds is difficult
Be Aware:
Genuine blue diamonds are very rare, so when you run into a jeweler who is selling genuine blue diamonds be a little suspicious and ask for a certificate of that diamond before purchase – it most likely won’t be real. If you want a blue diamond without the price, look into aquamarines or sapphires. You will be guaranteed the color and eye catching quality with these gems, that are all natural and less expensive than a blue man-made diamond.
