What are colored diamonds?
Simply put, colored diamonds are a natural or lab-grown diamond with a hued body color rather than classic white diamonds. Unlocking the Enigma: The Realness of Blue Diamonds
The enchantment of blue diamonds lies in their authenticity, whether in their natural or lab-grown form. Similar to white diamonds, lab-grown blue diamonds boast the identical chemical composition and optical characteristics as their natural counterparts. The distinction between the two lies in their creation process and rarity, with the scarcity of natural blue diamonds elevating their value.
Blue Diamonds vs. Sapphires: A Distinctive Comparison
It's crucial to note that while blue diamonds are undeniably authentic diamonds, both in nature and lab-grown, they differ from sapphires. Sapphires, although available in various colors, are often associated with blue hues, leading to occasional confusion with blue diamonds. To accurately discern between the two, seeking the expertise of a certified gemologist or choosing a trusted supplier, such as ELGA, ensures a genuine and informed purchase.
Distinguishing Elegance: Colored Diamonds vs. Colored Gemstones
Colored gemstones, a staple in costume jewelry and trendy multi-colored diamond accessories, offer a vibrant means of expressing personal style and mood. Yet, a distinct contrast exists between colored gemstones and colored lab-grown or natural diamonds, especially those crafted at ELGA. Lab-grown colored diamonds retain the unparalleled quality intrinsic to diamonds, showcasing captivating scintillation, fire, and sparkle that outshine traditional gemstones.
The Major Distinction:
The primary divergence between colored diamonds and colored gemstones lies in the enduring brilliance and optical allure inherent in diamonds. While gemstones contribute to lively accessories, the exceptional qualities of lab-grown colored diamonds, with their diamond-like qualities, elevate them to a realm of unmatched sophistication.

What is a blue diamond?
A blue diamond is a fancy colored diamond with a blue hue. In nature, blue diamonds are extremely rare which makes them highly covetable and highly expensive. Their rarity comes from their location: some blue diamonds form at an extreme depth that is approximately four times deeper than most diamonds. Decoding the Blue Hue: Unveiling the Mystique of Blue Diamonds
The mesmerizing blue tint in diamonds, especially evident in the renowned gems available at ELGA, often stems from the presence of boron impurities, according to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Boron subtly weaves its way into the diamond's structure, casting a captivating blue spell upon the stone. Alternatively, radiation exposure or associations with hydrogen can also contribute to the enchanting blue coloration.

How to style blue diamonds
Our lab-grown blue diamonds are commonly set in either 14- or 10-karat white gold, or 10-karat yellow gold. The icy blue tone of the stone pops against all skin tones and really shines against the high polish of the white gold. Choosing to pair a lab-grown blue diamond with yellow gold adds a hit of yellow that really pops against the saturation of the blue stone. Demystifying Diamond Prices: Natural vs. Lab-Grown by ELGA.
When it comes to diamonds, a symphony of factors orchestrates their pricing, weaving a narrative of rarity, beauty, and individuality. At ELGA, we unravel the mystery behind colored diamonds' pricing, offering insights that elevate your understanding of these coveted gems.
Natural Diamonds: Rarity Commands Value:
In the realm of natural diamonds, rarity is the virtuoso that commands the melody of pricing. Diamonds graded in the D-to-Z range see their value decrease as color intensifies, with the zenith of rarity found in colorless stones. The paradox unfolds when we venture into the realm of fancy colored diamonds—here, a rich, pure hue becomes the harbinger of a higher price tag. Picture a canary diamond: a vibrant yellow transcends the muted, echoing in the significant cost difference between the two.
The Rarity Hierarchy: Saturated Hues Take the Crown:
For those drawn to the allure of natural colored diamonds, the rarest and most valuable shades dance in the spectrum of saturated pinks, blues, and greens. Even nuanced color variations wield a substantial impact on the gem's value, accentuating the exclusive nature of these precious stones.
Lab-Grown Diamonds: Consistency Meets Affordability:
In the realm of lab-grown diamonds, a different cadence emerges. Consistency in coloring becomes the hallmark, and rarity takes a back seat, making these gems more accessible without compromising on brilliance. ELGA operates on an 1000 CAD pricing per carat model, allowing the charm of colored lab-grown diamonds to seamlessly weave into your style narrative. Here, affordability harmonizes with the spectrum of colors, making them a coveted addition to your jewelry collection.
Your Journey into Colored Diamonds:
As you embark on your journey into the realm of colored diamonds, each hue becomes a note, and each stone, a chapter in the story of your style. At ELGA, we invite you to explore the unique blend of rarity, consistency, and affordability, ensuring that your choice resonates with the symphony of your individuality.
