It is a widely held notion that the colorless diamonds are of the best quality. This is true because the clarity of the diamond determines its purity. The clearer it is, the higher the quality and the more expensive the stone becomes. But one important factor that also determines the value of the diamond is its rarity. Yellow diamond engagement rings are especially understandably adorned by yellow diamonds.
The natural creation of a diamond of this hue is very interesting. The color results from the trapping of some impurities while the carbon atoms are getting organized structurally for the formation of the diamond. For example, when nitrogen atoms replace some carbon atoms in the diamond, the structure does not become altered but the clarity of the diamond does, because the nitrogen atoms reflect light in a way quite different from the carbon atoms. This produces the color. This happens because the impurities affect reflection of light and basically light reflection is what creates the color. When a diamond shines in yellow, it means that all the other colors are absorbed while that impurity reflects back yellow. Various types of impurities may have various color reflections.
Presently, the largest diamond in the world is the Kimberley Octahedron. It is 616 carats and is yellow. Gems like this are definitely a historic find. Genuine yellow diamonds are so rare than in fact, many jewelers have not seen this stone nor will they even own one.

“Seeing time pass by my windows as each season gives way to the next makes me wonder most of the time where I’d be in yet another year. It seems that time glides swiftly by and there is no catching up. I found my friends hopping off to their dream weddings one by one and for someone like me, who has always held that as beloved dream, it is appalling to feel so left behind. The stretch of waiting time seem to go on and on and the confrontation of whether I’d ever get my chance grows wild in me especially when we sit over dinner and they begin to show off each of their rings. Sally recently received a yellow diamond engagement ring from Tom and it sent the group a-swooning over the breathtaking jewel.
That was how it was before John came and redeemed my waiting years. I’m quite capable of recalling the usual ladies’ conversations and how we held our breath when someone showed she was getting engaged. Looking back, it makes me smile to remember how my friends almost cried when they beheld my blue diamond engagement ring. It regaled my friends like no other and honestly, it leaves me overwhelmed. John could not have picked another ring that describes what we have better.”
Blue diamond engagement rings stand out because they are very seldom found. They are both regal and royal. The color blue aptly represents great depth and wide expanse which is what easily comes to mind when someone tries to describe love. No great wonder that a blue diamond engagement ring speaks more than a regular clear diamond would.
A blue diamond is formed when some impurities mix with the diamond. The darker the shade of blue, the more expensive it is. The rare genuine blue diamonds are truly expensive. In order to get this, one would have to pay a premium significantly higher than you would otherwise pay for a similar sized clear diamond. But a purchase such as this is something you cannot regret because blue diamonds are found to fare better as an investment over the course of time contrary to regular diamonds which do not go up in value and which in fact depreciate.
If the blue diamond is just way above your budget and you truly desire it, the good news is that advances in modern technology have allowed the creation of manmade blue diamonds. It has come within human reach to simulate natural processes that create the colored diamonds. These diamonds however, decrease in value once purchased and can hardly be resold. They are far in comparison to the value of naturally occurring blue diamonds which sell for tens of thousands unto millions of dollars.
The choice of a blue diamond in your engagement ring gives a twist and exciting edge to the traditional and prevailing practice of choosing clear diamonds. The color blue brings excitement and flair to the ring and makes it an especially valuable possession that one can proudly pass on to the next generations.
