Where do blue diamonds come from?
Traditionally, blue diamonds came from India, where they have been worn for many years. However, many blue diamonds now come from South Africa and blue diamond jewelry can be bought in countries across the world in various settings and styles.

Blue diamonds are mined in South Africa, India and Australia. Boron atoms, even in smaller concentrations, cause blue color. Some rare gray - blues are caused by hydrogen. The secondary hues and modifiers are: gray, green and violet. The elements of boron may also be substituted within a diamond during its formation. Boron absorbs red light, hence in the absence of nitrogen, diamonds containing boron are blue in color. Diamonds containing boron also exhibit unusual electrical properties and are semi-conductive in nature. Hydrogen is another impurity that, in high quantities, can cause grey or blue coloring in diamonds.
