Blue Diamonds - My Favourites

Diamonds are one of nature's most beautiful gifts to us. There is nothing to compare these ravishing stones. The only competition they face is from their colored counterparts.


Rare and truly splendid, colored diamonds are sought after the world over due to their sheer brilliance and hues. Blue diamonds especially are one of the rarest and they grace only a handful of jewelry stores across the world. One of the most well known of blue diamonds is the Hope diamond, the world's largest deep blue diamond weighing 45.52 carats. After it's discovery in the early 1600s, it has traversed across continents to various owners.

More recently, celebrities have also forayed into colored diamonds. The ravishing Halle Berry sported some breathtaking blue and white diamond jewelry at the 60th Golden Globes. The pear pendant and ring stood out in all their magnificence. In spite of their astronomical price tags, blue diamonds are desired the world over.

Yellow Diamond Camellia Flower Brooch

Yet another rare display of yellow diamonds is the camellia flower brooch made of 934 yellow diamonds, to celebrate 150 years of Chanel Jewelry. This magnificent piece remains a prized part of Chanel Fine Jewelry. There is something innately appealing about yellow colored diamonds. The warm sunny color is something most people find hard to resist. No wonder, that there exists a steadily growing number of suitors all set to win a winsome yellow diamond.

287 Carat Yellow Diamond

Apart from celebrities flaunting yellow diamonds, we have some of the most eminent jewelers of the world who have not only acquired some of the most amazing yellow diamonds but also added them to their astounding collections. The Tiffany Diamond, a delicious golden yellow stone of a whooping 287 carats, was found in South Africa in 1887. It was exquisitely transformed into a remarkable 128 cushion with 90 brilliant facets. This exceptionally beautiful stone was also worn by Audrey Hepburn in the movie, 'Breakfast At Tiffany's'.
