Things To Consider

Other Blue Diamond Ring tips:

Do not, ever, buy a blue diamond ring that does not come with certification. The two main organizations that certify diamonds are the G.I.A. (gemological institute of america) and the E.G.L. (european gemological laboratory). Do not accept any other certificates, unless you know and trust the jeweler you are buying from. Both of these institutions have are very reputable and their certificates are detailed.

When you buy online, check out the certificate, make sure that polish and symmetry are good or above and be sure you pick a company that let’s you return your blue diamond ring. This is important, since a diamond may show well on paper, but in reality you actually do not like it. There is nothing wrong, with not liking a particular diamond, since this is a very personal decision and you want to be happy with what you have.

Do not buy jewelry that you can not afford. I know that sounds silly, but it really is not. Jewelry is supposed to be worn with pride and enjoyment. That will not happen, if you look at your blue diamond ring and fret about the money you spend. Also keep in mind, that even though we buy diamonds for their beauty, they also retain their value and keep up with inflation. So even at a later date, diamonds can always be turned into cash, with a profit, if done correctly.

How does all this information pertain to your blue diamond ring?  Well, all of the above is true for a blue diamond, as it is for white diamonds or other colored diamonds, natural or enhanced.

If you are ever offered a natural blue diamond beware, those are so rare, that most jewelers will never even see one and they will most certainly not be set in a Blue Diamond Ring, since it would be much easier for the jeweler to just set it with the customers chosen semi-mount.

The most famous of all natural blue diamonds is the Hope Diamond. The Gemological Institute of America put the weight of this diamond at 45.52 carats (9.104g) and described it as “fancy dark grayish blue”, before changing their minds in 1996 and calling it “fancy deep grayish blue”. Under ultraviolet light, the stone shows an unusual brilliant red phosphorescence, making it truly a one of a kind. This stone is way to big to set in a blue diamond ring.

Feel free to drop me a comment. I shall keep this blog as subject specific as possible, however, since i have spend a long time in the jewelry industry, i will be able to answer almost any questions you may have.

Ok, a friend of mine asked me a simple question: should i buy a natural colored diamond, or an enhanced one. Well, the answer has a lot to do with your pocketbook. Obviously, if you can afford a natural colored diamond, go for it. Most people however, do not have the resources for this, especially if we are talking about a natural blue diamond. Enhanced blue diamonds tend to be very reasonable in price and therefore a good choice for your Blue Diamond Ring, if you are on a budget.
