Faint Blue labs

[HerefortheBling]

Does anyone have a faint blue lab diamond in a ring? For some reason, I am wildly attracted to them every time I see a video of a faint blue stone. I'd like to see one in a setting though to see if I still love it.

Are you referring to fancy faint blue or faint blue nuance?

James Allen has a bunch. Can you buy one just to test it out and return if you don't like it?

I see them on a lot of sites. I was just wondering if anyone had one already set in a ring. I'm on the fence on whether I *should* buy one even if I think they look gorgeous in the stone videos. It seems a lot of people don't like them.

Do you mean blue nuances like these?

These are HPHT stones when growers use too much boron to try to grow the diamond quickly. Here's an interesting read of it,

Blue Nuance in Lab Diamonds

Blue nuance is caused by the presence of excess boron resulting from HPHT growth. Lab diamonds with blue nuance will have a slight blueish tinge and have limited to no resale value.

For the proper fancy blue lab diamond, it is something else! But why go for light blue when you can get an intense blue

Thanks, but I see them all the time so not really looking for help finding one. There's one that really caught my eye lately, and I'm just wondering if I'll like it as good when it's in a setting.

I know I can buy and return, but I just don't like doing that. It's stressful to me. I recently had a package from Ritani delivered to a neighbor on another street but in my neighborhood. Fedex signed my name and left it. Thankfully, it was brought to me by that neighbor, but it was a very stressful few hours!

There are a few pictures of blue nuance diamonds floating around the forum here in threads of days long gone, if you haven't seen them yet.

i can feel that stress from here
we had a courier for my old work who did sh*t like that and it was always urgent customer orders and it was always a right pain

i don't really get what is wrong with blue nuance ???

I wish that was the only delivery stress I've had lately, but it really seems to be a trend. None of the carriers are good where I live.

As far as blue nuance, I am wildly attracted to it, but I see a lot of posts trying to avoid it. I'm on the fence about whether I'll really like it in person or not.

we have a courier who delivers to us here who i suspect lives not far away as i get notification its been delivered but it hasn't and turns up the next day - like perhaps it has been delivered on the way to work the next day
i dont mind if its delivered a bit late - id rather just be notified when its actually been delivered

I'd like to see blue nuance in person also

They're both gorgeous! The round looks white. Do you see any gray blue?

Yes it has a steely kind of quality to it. Especially from an angle. But yes it looks amazingly bright and white for a K set in white gold.

It's that "steely" look that attracts me to the faint blue so much!

How are you able to tell which James Allen stones have the faint blue nuance?

I want to know as well!!!

 

[elle_chris]

I think the faint blue is difficult to see on it's own. But I remember reading how obvious the color was when someone had it set with side stones without blue nuance. She didn't like it so had it reset as a solitaire and couldn't see the blue anymore.

 

[HerefortheBling]

I don't know how others tell, but it's just really obvious to me. The moment I see the video, I think it's got the blue tint. Then I look at the certificate, and it usually states it there. This is one for instance...it's really blue imo (but gorgeous).

It's easiest to tell in the side view, and easier to tell on James Allen's site than other vendors' sites because their photography is more consistent.

Here are two HPHT stones.
