Stone(s): 2.5 mm blue diamond, 18K yellow gold bezel.

Material(s): Pendant and box chain are oxidized sterling silver (pictured) or high polished sterling silver (.925). Five, 14K rose gold accent rivets. Bail (hook) is 14K rose gold. 

Pendant/Chain Measurement(s): Pendant is 1 1/2" long and 5/8" wide. Box chain is included, available in the following lengths: 16," 18," or 20."

For the rivets, holes are drilled and 14K rose gold is inserted and melted on each side.  

Colored diamonds are colorless when mined from the earth. They then undergo a treatment called irradiation, to permanently create the colored diamond. Irradiated diamonds are not radioactive and will not fade. The enhancement does not affect the price and is an affordable option compared to naturally occurring colored diamonds, which are extremely rare.
