I have been to multiple jewelry stores and am struggling to find a non-lab created diamond that has some blue tint or shades in it. I’ve seen things online but have been told they would all look the same in the store. The ones I’ve seen in the stores look almost too perfect or costume jewelry like, i.e. http://applesofgold.com/BLDRG-22.html
I’m looking for ones more like this http://www.peleddiamonds.com/diamonds-special-offers.aspx (just blue in color, unfortunately they didn’t have any available) I’ve been told I would have to fork out $10,000 to get a natural blue diamond that is half a carot to whole….which is way above my budget. I’m looking to spend 3-4 thousand on the diamond and put it in a white gold tiffany solitaire setting (very simple.) Do you have any suggestions on places to look or am I just dreaming of finding this kind of diamond with my budget?
There is no chance you will get a decent 1/2ct for 3-4k. That other one you saw is not a fake (you nailed it on the head about it looking like costume jewelery). To get a diamond that looks close to that will cost a few hundred thousand dollars.
