Blue diamond engagement ring
If you're looking for something extra special to mark your engagement, then a blue diamond engagement ring could be the answer. Whilst clear (or "white") diamonds are the most common for engagement rings, blue diamonds have an extra beauty and individuality that makes them stand out from the rest.
Blue diamonds are very rarely found, and are caused by the presence of boron (a chemical element) in the diamond. Although an impurity, the boron gives the diamond its blue shade, which makes it strikingly beautiful. Blue diamonds can also be created by irradiating clear diamonds. This creates a permanent change in the stone, and is almost indistinguishable from a naturally formed blue diamond. A special machine known as a spectroscope can be used to detect irradiated blue diamonds.

Diamonds with deep blue colors are most desirable. These are usually termed as "the fancy diamonds" by elite jewelers. As the shade of blue increases the quality of the gem and hence the price of the diamond increases.
For an average buyer who cannot afford to invest a lot of cash in these diamonds there are other options available. Synthetic diamonds can be used in blue diamond rings to please your spouse. Another cost effective way of owning a blue diamond ring is to pair a blue diamond with a white one. Rings that have a blue diamond between two white diamonds are a unique piece of jewelry. A Topaz can also be used in place of blue diamond but it should be remembered that a topaz is a replacement for a diamond and not a diamond itself.
