About Blue Diamond

Blue diamonds are rare and identified with opulence, while symbolizing peace and good health. So, just like blue diamond engagement rings, a pair of blue diamond earrings can bring serenity, peace and affection in your life.

Blue diamonds occur naturally when boron gets mixed with carbon components of diamond during its formation process. It is the rarity and limited supply of blue diamond that makes it one of the most expensive gemstones.

There are plenty of options to choose from, with various tones of blue shades ranging from light blue to darkest of blue - like grayish-blue and greenish-blue. Natural dark blue with uniform hue is one of the most expensive varieties due to its rarity.

Metals for Blue Diamond Earrings

White gold and platinum create a magical contrast with deep and vibrant blue diamond while expressing the allure of earrings. Touch of white naturally adds to splendor of blue diamond earring making it more noticeable and exquisite.

However, if you are a traditional type and want to tread the conventional path, then yellow gold can be a good choice. Blue and yellow will also complement each other, especially if it’s a dark blue diamond set in yellow gold.

Always Remember

• Instead of running behind pure blue color, you can select hue with secondary color, for eg – greenish-blue etc. This will allow you to buy an interesting colored diamond at a lower price.
• Don’t rely too much on color grading terminology. It should be used as a basis to narrow down your selection and to determine the fair price. Always, go for the stone that you find most visually pleasing and color of stone that you would really enjoy.
• If the blue color of stone is due to color enhancement, then it must be disclosed by jeweler. Color treatment results in lowering of price.
  

Blue diamond earrings are expensive and not something you may buy frequently, so make sure you get a perfect piece according to your style, need and budget in the first instance itself.
