Brian Gavin Blue vs Fancy Colored Diamonds
“Titanic is my girlfriend’s favorite movie. There is a diamond featured in the movie Titanic named “The Heart of the Ocean.” I was thinking that it would be really cool to buy my girlfriend a blue diamond. Unfortunately, I had no idea how expensive natural blue diamonds are. When I told a local jeweler that I was looking for a two carat round diamond the same color as the diamond from the movie Titanic, they laughed in my face. I conducted some research and discovered that natural blue diamonds are extremely rare and expensive. So much for that engagement ring concept, back to the drawing board. A few days ago, a friend of mine showed me the Brian Gavin Blue Signature diamond that she received. The diamond is spectacular; it sparkles like crazy! She showed me a photograph of the diamond glowing blue, and explained that it is because it has blue fluorescence. That’s pretty cool. Which brings me to the point. Is a Brian Gavin Blue fluorescent diamond a good alternative to a fancy color diamond?”
Fancy Colored Blue Diamonds:
Fancy colored diamonds, like “The Heart of the Ocean” blue diamond presented in the movie Titanic are extremely rare, which makes them very expensive. By the way, the famous Hope Diamond is the diamond that first came to mind when I watched that scene in Titanic. It weighs 45.52 carats, and is reportedly insured for $252 million dollars.
Brian Gavin Diamonds offers an exclusive collection of fancy colored diamonds, including blue and pink diamonds, if that is the direction you are headed. However most people seem to prefer the higher carat weight that they can afford buying a colorless or near-colorless Brian Gavin Signature round diamond. The reality is that Brian Gavin Blue Signature round diamonds are no fancy colored diamonds. Thus it’s not really a matter of Brian Gavin Blue vs Fancy Colored Diamonds. They represent two different classifications of diamond. This 2.14 carat, F-color, VS-1 clarity, Brian Gavin Blue Signature diamond only glows blue when exposed to black light.
The rest of the time, the diamond is going to look perfectly normal. However, it is likely that the blue fluorescence will help to improve our perception of diamond color when the diamond is exposed to light sources that contain a high volume of ultra-violet light. Thus blue fluorescence is kind of like a hidden super power, it can improve the appearance of a diamond. Making it face-up a hint whiter than it might without fluorescence.
It might not be within your financial resources to present your girlfriend with a fancy blue colored diamond, but if she likes the idea of a blue diamond, then a Brian Gavin Blue fluorescent diamond might be a suitable alternative. They certainly are special in their own right. Every BGD Signature diamond is produced to the highest standards of excellence, and achieves the overall cut grade of AGS Ideal-0.
You might want to pick up a mini black light keychain so that you’ll be able to show your girlfriend the blue fluorescence hidden within her diamond. That way she’ll be able to appreciate the effects of the blue fluorescence in real-life, as opposed to merely seeing the effect portrayed in the photograph provided on the diamond details page.
