Teal Blue Diamonds
Teal blue diamonds are usually pale greenish-blue in color and occur naturally in different regions worldwide. Enhanced variants of the gemstone are available too in different shades of blue and green.
Teal diamonds are hard carbon crystals with similar structures seen in white variants. The gemstone may possess uneven fractures and usually has a tetrahedral form. These diamonds have several standout features that make them a perfect fit as gemstones on luxury jewelry.
Teal blue variants have all properties of colorless diamonds. The gemstones have a 10 unit Mohs’ hardness rating, a 2.4 unit refractive index for more glitter, low thermal and electrical conductivity along with other great features.
These qualities and much more make teal diamonds a great option to feature as gemstones on necklaces, wedding bands, earrings, and other jewelry.
You need to know more about these gemstones if you want them on your jewelry. That’s why you’ll find all the essential information you need about teal diamonds through this guide to help you make an excellent choice.
History of Teal Blue Diamonds
Teal diamonds are quite rare and may not have been in circulation since diamonds became mainstream over 6000 years ago. The ancient Indians discovered diamonds and took it as a religious symbol, but man didn’t mine and use natural teal diamonds until much later.
Science has also provided a means to enhance the color of teal diamonds with similar properties to different color hues. Teal diamonds have been common in the loose gemstone market since enhancement techniques became popular around the mid-1990s.
How are Teal Blue Diamonds Made?
Natural teal diamonds form when doping molecules present in its crystals change its hue-free structure to produce color. Teal diamonds could be light or dark depending on the quantity of doping molecules it encounters during production.
Scientific techniques can now enhance the color of earth-mined teal diamonds with the same hardness, glitter, and structure of 100% carbon diamonds. Scientists use CVD – a deposition technique that mimics how natural diamonds form.
Teal diamonds can form with carbon atoms and a doping element placed under intense heat and pressure to allow crystals form. These diamonds might possess a darker tone if it contains more boron in its chemical composition. Boron gives natural diamonds different shades of teal and blue.
Uses of Teal Blue Diamonds
Teal diamonds are perfect as gemstones on jewelry pieces and adorn countless luxury earrings, necklaces, and more.
