Blue Color Enhanced Diamond Jewelry

The color blue symbolizes trust, wisdom, confidence, faith and intelligence. It is beneficial to both the mind and the body and has a positive and calming effect on anybody who wears or sees this color. This is one of the reasons why you cannot go wrong with blue diamond jewelry. It makes an excellent gift (also to yourself!) and it suits every skin type and personality.

Solving The Blue Diamond Jewelry Dilemma

The only problem is that natural blue diamonds are extremely rare. And we all know that the rarer an item is, the more expensive it is. As a matter of fact, diamond jewelry made from natural blue diamonds are so expensive that only the extreme rich can afford it.

Collectors often buy blue diamonds purely for investment purposes because they are so sought after. Most jewelry designers have never made diamond jewelry with these types of diamonds.

Here at CaratsDirect2U we feel though that every person is worthy of wearing a piece of the sky with their jewelry. We stock a large range of blue loose diamonds and diamond jewelry that are colored enhanced.

Blue colored enhanced diamond jewelry is just as beautiful as natural blue diamond jewelry but it is also much more affordable.

What Is Color Enhanced Diamond Jewelry

Color enhanced diamonds are naturally mined diamonds just like any other regular natural diamonds. They are however referred to as color enhanced diamonds because their color has been changed in a laboratory. It is usually diamonds that are either naturally brown or yellow that are chosen to undergo this process.

Be suspicious of any ‘bargain price’ natural blue diamond jewelry. If a diamond has undergone any type of enhancement, it should be clearly noted.

Color Enhanced By Irradiation

Most of the blue color enhanced diamonds sold at CaratsDirect2u have been irradiated. During irradiation, a machine fires a beam of electrons towards a diamond which disturbs the electrons of the diamond and changes the molecular arrangement of the diamond.

The light absorbing structure of the diamond is now changed which results in a color change in the diamond. Since all the molecules themselves have been rearranged, this means that color change is not just on the surface and that the color it will never fade.

Caring Tips For Your Color Irradiated Diamond Jewelry

Remember that irradiated color diamonds are naturally mined diamonds and are just as strong and durable as any non-treated diamond. You can care for your jewelry made with color treated diamonds just like any other piece of diamond jewelry.

How to look after your diamond jewelry

The enhanced blue color will never wear off unless your jewelry is exposed to temperatures higher that 450 degrees Celsius (850 degrees Fahrenheit). This is only likely to happen with a jeweler’s torch when a ring is resized. Just make sure that the jeweler is aware that that the piece is color enhanced and she will take the necessary precautions.
