Catalogue Essay
Blue diamonds are extremely rare, and their colour is usually caused by the presence of boron impurities in the diamond's chemical composition. Blue diamonds were first found in India and were brought to the West by gem dealer, Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, in the 17th century. Today, blue diamonds are associated with the concept of good health, peace, serenity, and affection in life. The most well-known historical and current sources of coloured diamonds including blues, are India, South Africa, and Australia. The current lot is a blue diamond, which is nicely offset by the intensity of pink diamonds in its surround.
