Estate Originals 18K White Gold Snowflake Design Fancy Blue Diamond Pendant

This 18K white gold pendant is fashioned in a snowflake design. The interior portion presents four highly polished dome shaped square forms, angled to create a diamond shape which is suspended through four fine bars, making it appear as though it's floating. In the centre of this diamond shape is a prong-set treated blue diamond. A border of twenty-eight prong-set blue diamonds surround the middle in a halo effect, revealing negative space between the middle and the border. Another two fine bars branch from the top of the border and attach to a reverse 'V' shaped top that also provides the hidden bale. A 14K 18" white gold cable link chain with spring ring clasp is included. The twenty-nine treated blue diamonds combine for a 1.13 total carat weight.

Treated blue diamonds are natural diamonds that have undergone colour enhancement treatments. Such methods, usually irradiation, transform the otherwise colourless precious stone into a vibrant shade of blue. These treatments are typically permanent and do not damage the diamond's chemical structure. Blue diamonds have seen a resurgence in popularity in the last few years, providing those who seek a unique look with a brilliant sparkle and a distinctive colour. The word 'fancy' refers to diamonds that contain other colours than the typical white diamond. Fancy colour diamonds are graded differently than white diamonds. The last grade on the colour grading scale for white diamonds is a “Z”, which denotes a slight colour visible to the naked eye. When the diamond exhibits a more intense, noticeable shade of colour, they are described as fancy. Natural blue diamonds can run 10x times the cost of treated blue diamonds per carat, making them significantly more costly than the treated version. Treated diamonds provide the perfect alternative for those who love the incredible colour of the natural variety without the hefty price tag.
