Blue Diamonds.. not available in the US? Vanity
8-24-08 | Vanity

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?

I also heard there will be no more pink hearts or green clovers. Sorry, but this needed to be said.

As long as they keep the rainbows and lucky horseshoes, I’m happy.

Just because there aren't that many of them.

You can try this site for some.

Good luck.

You can go to the Smithsonian and view the Hope diamond. It is blue.

Disclaimer...I am not a gemologist.

All kinds of games are played in the gem business. Unless things have changed, if you ask for topaz, for example, they can sell you yellow quartz (citrine)...to get topaz, you have to ask for “precious topaz”!

Also, I imagine that you’re speaking of artifically created blue diamonds, not natural ones. The Hope Diamond, for example, will fluoresce red from the boron content, unlike diamonds that are turned blue by radiation/heat treatment.

In any case, I think that blue diamonds are still readily available in the US.

No the BLue diamonds that I bought in a formation are natural..

Not Topaz but seablue Diamnonds.

I bought them as a personal thing to remind me everyday of my faith and uh hum life dedications.

It was odd though I was invited and then called to say We do not carry any Blue Diamonds in the Collection or State Side.

So First thought was is this a Political cause.

Well I can now buy 10 tanks in my SUV/RV and I wont be dawing any earrings.

Oh well Godiva Chocolates still has a 50% off sale.

Cool Send me a link ...

Actually glad I am going to go look at a local artist and might just invest in that collection.

Some people love art and when you wear the right smile, clothes and certain uh hum jewels or other body accessories no one notices your old teeth.

I just did a google search... It was from the Visiting DC site:

http://www.visitingdc.com/images/hope-diamond-picture.jpg

It's also available from the Smithsonian site:

Well here is the Ditz of the day question.

Is the Blue Hope a secure Museum piece or does it have a private owner?
