Blue Diamonds

Blue natural diamonds get their color from trace amounts of boron that were incorporated into the carbon crystal lattice during formation billions of years ago. Boron atoms replace carbon atoms in the crystal structure, absorbing red and yellow wavelengths of light and transmitting blue. Natural blue diamonds are extremely rare because boron must be present in the diamond-forming environment deep within the earth's mantle.

Yes, blue diamonds have the exact same hardness (10.0 Mohs), toughness, and durability as colorless diamonds. The boron atoms that create the blue color do not weaken the crystal structure in any way. A blue natural diamond will resist scratching, chipping, and everyday wear just as well as any other diamond, making it fully suitable for daily engagement ring wear.

White gold and platinum are the most popular metals for blue natural diamonds because the cool silver tone enhances the blue color and creates a cohesive, icy aesthetic. Yellow gold creates a striking contrast that makes the blue appear deeper and more vivid. Solitaire settings and simple side-stone designs let the rare blue color take center stage without visual competition.
