All You Need To Know About Blue Diamonds

The clear variety is what comes to mind when people think about diamonds in general. However, they aren't actually the most valuable type of diamonds out there. It takes millions of years of extreme pressure and temperatures to create a diamond. As a diamond forms, sometimes rare conditions occur that introduce a change in how it forms, producing a colored diamond. Colored diamonds are exponentially rarer than your common variety clear diamonds. Of the colors that a diamond can come in, blue diamonds are among the most rare. They are formed by the introduction of boron during the diamond's formation. Only a limited amount of boron can actually infiltrate the structure of the diamond as it is forming, which limits the number of shades of blue that can be produced. It is important to note that blue diamonds are formed because of a technical imperfection in the carbon structure of the stone, meaning they will be slightly less strong than the more common clear variety.

If you want jewelry that is unique and unquestionably expensive, colored diamonds are the obvious choice. Your special loved one would definitely appreciate them as gifts, and they also make for great investments that will increase in value over the years. However, because of the perceived value and high demand, they are also counterfeited. A respectable jeweler should be able to identify a fake blue diamond from a genuine one. Cubic zirconia, glass, and plastic can all be colored to be given the appearance of blue diamond that is convincing enough to fool the average person from a close distance. Of course, there are easy ways that anyone can detect these forgeries without having to go to a jeweler's. One thing you can do is hold up the diamond to a light. Genuine blue diamonds would sparkle blue from the light. Forgeries would not shine as brightly, often coming up muddled, and some will even give you a direct line of sight to the light source.

While blue diamonds are unquestionably rare, some particular pieces have achieved legendary status. A good example is the hope diamond which is being kept at the Smithsonian Institute. The story of its origins has yet to be verified, but it is said to have been made from a larger 112 carat blue diamond that was sold to King Louis XIV. It was then supposed to have been cut down to 67 1/8 carats to become a central part of the French Crown Jewels. Then in the French Revolution the diamond disappeared, never to resurface again, except that in 1839, a 45.52 carat blue diamond appeared in the gem catalog of a collector by the name of Henry Phillip Hope, hence the name.
