Russian Blue Diamond: Created in the Lab

• A variety of gems form a Russian Blue Diamond.colourful gems image by OMKAR A.V from Fotolia.com
  
  A Russian Blue Diamond is manufactured using combinations of gems mined in Siberia, according to russianbluediamonds.com, the website of TK Italia Importing & Manufacturing.
  
  

Manufacturing Names

• There are a number of companies manufacturing Russian Blue Diamonds.gold ring with diamonds on a light blue agate image by pr2is from Fotolia.com
  
  The same company that produces the Russian Blue Diamond also markets the "Russian Blue Luster." Yet another simulated diamond product is the "Russian Brilliant," marketed and distributed by the Hadar Co. of San Diego, California.
  
  

Manufacturing Processes

• Gems are formed into simulated diamonds at temperatures exceeding 5,000 degrees.fire image by Kubichek Vladimir from Fotolia.com
  
  The process for manufacturing simulated diamonds starts with raw gemstones heated to temperatures exceeding 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
  
  

Manufacturing Results

• The cut and clarity replicates a natural diamond.diamond image by sumos from Fotolia.com
  
  The result is glittery stones with clarity and durability similar to those of a natural diamond.
  
  

About the Russian Blue Diamond Inventor

• Other stone replicas have been created with the same process as the diamond.colourful gems image by OMKAR A.V from Fotolia.com
  
  The process that creates the simulated diamond now known as Russian Blue Diamonds reportedly is the brainchild of Dr. Victor Vins. The same technique is now being used to the create simulated sapphires, rubies, emeralds and garnets.
  
  

Cost Considerations

• The price of Russian Blue Diamonds is much less than that of real diamonds.money image by cherie from Fotolia.com
  
  The prices of simulated diamonds such as Russian Blue Diamonds are drastically lower than the prices of natural diamonds because the mining costs of the latter exceed the manufacturing costs of the former.
