Blue Diamond Ring – Not Cheap

A natural blue diamond ring is not a dime a dozen.

Unless you have Richard Branson and Paris Hilton on speed dial, you probably can’t afford a natural blue diamond ring. Despite how unattainable the item is, it’s always worthwhile finding out about it in case you stub your big toe on one. A bit of information could easily stop you from throwing thousands of dollars into the hedges of the suburban jungle in an angry rage caused by a bleeding toe.

Only the very elite members of society could ever come close to affording a natural blue diamond ring. Once a blue diamond becomes available, members of the million dollar club immediately go onto waiting lists in order to become lucky owners of this unique commodity. If your girlfriend asks for an engagement ring embedded with a blue diamond, then it’s probably a better idea to hop into your private jet and fly to some small island where she will never find you.

The exclusivity of natural blue diamond rings has resulted in enhanced versions. Regular diamonds are treated with radiation until they turn deep blue, very similar to that of a natural blue diamond. They are much cheaper and the radiation means that your girlfriend might develop some wicked superpowers like the ability to microwave popcorn with her mind.Joking here, but wouldn’t that be something.

The blue diamond’s color is derived from a flawed deposit of boron in its makeup. Having a flaw of this caliber is like waking up one day and realizing that you look exactly like Brad Pitt. While this might be a flaw because you look identical to a person who already exists, it’s not a bad thing.

The deposit of boron also gives the blue diamond the ability to act as a conductor and this is the property which truly sets it aside. It has become a major selling point for the item, because the average rich person has a bit of a geekish side which is just begging to usurp every other facet of his or her personality. I’m not sure what good a conductive gemstone can do in any practical sense, but it is pretty cool when you think about it.

If you have no job and you are waiting to win the lottery then you may as well start looking for a blue diamond in between draws. If you find one, you’ll be able to give your partner the gift of a lifetime, a blue diamond ring.

Blue Diamond Ring – The Color Of The Ocean

So you want to know about Blue Diamond Rings.

If and when you decide to jump into the deep, deep end of the proverbial jewelry purchasing swimming pool, be sure to take your goggles and water wings.  By goggles, I mean the clarity to see the piece that will captivate your lady’s heart.  And by water wings, I mean all the help that you can get to keep you from drowning.  One piece of crucial advice is that, if you are in the market for something straight from the deep blue sea, consider a Blue Diamond Ring.

No, Blue Diamond Rings do not come from the ocean, but the wide variety of colors that can be found in this market certainly do lend themselves to such descriptions.  The names of the colors of Blue Diamonds range from fancy intense blue to fancy deep green-blue, fancy grayish blue, fancy light blue to fancy turquoise.  However, if a clumsy or impatient sales clerk attempts to guide you towards a topaz or a tanzanite, you have ventured from the diamond path and need to make a hasty retreat.

Also, know that there is no right or wrong shade of blue among Blue Diamond Rings and that what it comes down to is a matter of preference.  Now, this is where you really want to pay attention to what shade she says she likes.  Drop the hints, search her jewelry box, grab a paint swatch and secretively get her to pick a shade that is just for her.  Just don’t commit to the shade of her Blue Diamond Ring based on the fact that she said she would love to have a cornflower or periwinkle blue bathroom.

And, ladies, don’t get mad at him for not remembering that you had one time, long ago, mentioned that your dream car would be cerulean blue, because there are plenty of guys who cannot recall the name of his all-time favorite running back.  Just keeping it real.

Now that you know how to start your search, do not forget to pay attention to all of the details that you would for a colorless diamond – carat, cut, clarity, etc.  Blue Diamond Rings are visually the result of internal imperfections, but that does not in any way decrease their value.  In fact, imperfections can be good in this type of diamond.  But with some shopping savvy you are sure to find the perfect shade, the perfect stone, and the perfect Blue Diamond Ring.

Blue Diamond Ring

Now it is time to talk about the one factor of your Blue Diamond Ring that is overlooked by many, but that i can not emphasize enough. The importance of the cut. When a diamond cutter  sees a rough, he has to determine, how to cut the stone. This depends largely on the clarity of the rough, since any decent cutter will want to have the cleanest possible diamond, while maintaining the highest weight.Take a rough, cut it one way and it will be the most beautiful diamond , cut it a different way and it will not be so desirable.  What is the difference you ask? The weight! In creating the sparkling diamond you desire, the cutter will have to sacrifice some weight, making heavier, perfectly cut diamonds even rarer.

The goal in terms of extracting the greatest beauty from a Diamond, is to have light enter a Diamond, disperse the light as it bounces inside, thereby producing the different colors and sparkly effect, finally returning as much light to the eye as possible.The illustration at the top of the page shows a round brilliant cut diamond cut with what is considered to be within the range of ideal cut diamonds. If you cut the diamond to shallow, it will make it appear a lot larger than it actually is, which is ok, if you simply want a bigger stone in your Blue Diamond Ring, but it will not have the correct fire and brilliance that you expect. The same is true if the diamond is cut too deep, since light will leak out and has no chance to reflect back to the eye.

According to GIA: A polished diamond’s beauty lies in its complex relationship with light: how light strikes the surface, how much enters the diamond, and how, and in what form light returns to your eye. The result is a display of three attributes. Brightness is the combination of all white light reflecting from the surface and interior of a diamond. Fire is the colored flashes that can be seen in a diamond. Scintillation describes the sparkle of light you see in a diamond, and the overall pattern of bright and dark areas when you look at a diamond face-up. A polished diamond’s proportions affect its light performance, which in turn affects its beauty and overall appeal. Diamonds in a blue diamond ring with good proportions optimize the interaction with light, and have good brilliance, fire, and scintillation.The Design (weight ratio, durability) and Craftsmanship (polish, symmetry) of a diamond also affect its cut quality, and are considered in determining a diamond’s GIA Cut Grade.

Ultimately, there are lot of factors to consider when looking for your Blue Diamond Ring.
