Hey what is up?

The house Of Taz (diamonds) came to our area and no longer carry Blue Diamonds.

I did a search of Blue Diamonds and get Topaz or other.

Do we have a Gem in oligist who can explain to me why I have been told no more Blue Diamonds in the US?

Check out the Smithsonian's history of the Hope Diamond. It's a part of their collection, but it's said to also have a curse. It's quite interesting. And HUGH! I believe that it's a tad bit over 45 carats! And I'm ONLY talking about the blue diamond itself, not the total weight of all the diamonds in the setting.

Diamonds are a womans best friend

Nice find, Bert!

I had never heard of “blue diamonds” other than the Hope diamond, and those Stuller diamonds are beautiful!

And a lot of women are dogs.

Traditionally, diamonds were the best form of “insurance” a man could provide for his family. In bad times, diamonds could be easily hidden and easily transported, while providing some sort of a guarantee that starvation could be kept at bay for a very long time.

Thus, diamonds were referred to as a woman’s best friend.
