My Blue Diamond

[sd2775906]

Thanks for reading this...just wanted to get opinions from others about these. They''re irradiated blue diamonds, 5mm rounds, and .50 carat each.

Thanks

Generally worth 1/3rd to 1/2 the cost of a D color same clarity.

I hate the idea personally.
Irradiated blue topaz looks better and costs less. You never need to tell anyone the blue topaz is irradiated.

Very interesting, they look almost teal colored on my monitor. Would you say that is accurate to actual color or is it just my monitor?

CutNut, wouldn't the irradiated diamonds have more sparkle than the topaz?

 

[Garry H (Cut Nut)]

yes they do because of the higher RI.
The color is pretty real on my screen for what you usually see.

But you can get a nicer shade and the sparkle with blue topaz.

Actually, Blue Zircons would be closer looking to diamonds, if properly cut, but in time they abrade.

Blue Topaz is a nice stone, but not a sparkly, and far less dispersion.
