The secret to saving money when shopping for diamonds is in understanding the difference between the qualities that make a diamond "shine". By spending a little time educating yourself upfront you'll save yourself money. Who doesn't want to do that?
Secret to Saving Money on Diamonds
One way to save money is to be smart about diamonds. All diamonds go through many processes to take them from rough rocks to sparkling gems. Bellataire Diamonds offers consumers an opportunity to get a bigger, better diamond at a better price. Bellataire Diamonds sells rare, ultra-pure, natural diamonds that have been restored to their intrinsic color by a proprietary process developed over a decade ago by the General Electric Company (GE). The Bellataire-brand diamonds are exceptional quality, mostly D through H in color, seldom lower in clarity than VS2, and cut to the most demanding standards in the diamond industry.
Bellataire offers the best of all worlds...beautiful diamonds at great prices.
Happy Shopping and Happy Savings!

Bigger Bling for the Buck
As we all know, diamonds are priced on the 4Cs: Color, Clarity, Carat, and Cut. Bellataire Diamonds brings diamond shoppers the opportunity to get "bigger bling for the buck" by offering higher quality Bellataire Diamonds at a fraction of the cost of similar diamonds.
Color differences in diamonds can be subtle, but the difference in cost can be extreme. Until recently, color in a diamond could only be improved through a treatment that produced only temporary results, and any gemologist could detect the treatment. Bellataire Diamonds entered the market in the 1990s, resulting from years of diamond research and High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) technology. Bellataire Diamonds uses a proprietary High Pressure / High Temperature (HPHT) process off-white diamonds can be transformed into colorless and near-colorless diamonds, ranging from D to H in color. In addition to using High Pressure / High Temperature (HPHT) in colorless diamonds, the HPHT process can also be used to produce "fancy" colored diamonds, including yellow, pink, and even extremely rare blue diamonds. The color of Bellataire Diamonds (HPHT diamonds) is permanent and irreversible. Bellataire Diamonds (HPHT diamonds) provide an exciting and new alternative to diamond shoppers looking for a great deal.

What are Bellataire diamonds?
Introduction: The primary objective of this blog is to address diamond buyers' typical concerns about Bellataire diamonds. Questions and comments are welcome.
Bellataire® diamonds are extremely rare, ultra-pure, natural diamonds that have been restored to their intrinsic color by a proprietary process developed by General Electric Company (GE). Bellataire-brand diamonds are exceptional quality, mostly “D” through “H” in color, seldom lower in clarity than “VS2”, and cut to the most demanding standards in the diamond industry.
Bellataire diamonds are completely natural diamonds. Nothing is added to the natural diamond crystal nor anything removed from it in the process of transforming a rough diamond to a polished gem. Bellataire diamonds are never laser-enhanced, irradiated, fracture-filled, or altered in any way that would compromise their all-natural content.
Bellataire diamonds are extremely rare Type II a diamonds that were originally crystallized without color and were destined to become extraordinary gems. During their journey to the surface of the Earth through volcanic pipes, though, these crystals were subjected to intense heat, tremendous pressure, and explosive turbulence. These conditions caused some molecular misalignment in these crystals, resulting in a brownish color and internal stress. This process simply provides comparable conditions of heat and pressure, allowing these crystals to spontaneously relieve themselves of their molecular stress and return to their proper alignment and their original colorless state. It is this process of restoration that leads to the description of Bellataire diamonds as “The Diamond Nature Intended”.
The Bellataire process is permanent. It also results in a diamond more chemically stable than any other. When subjected to increasingly high temperatures in laboratory tests, the color of Bellataire diamonds have been shown to deteriorate last of all diamond types. Explaining this exceptional stability in Bellataire diamonds are their absence of nitrogen impurities and their absence of internal stress. The Gem Trade Lab of the GIA, arguably the most respected gemological laboratory in the world, will not issue Grading Reports on treated diamonds. Every Bellataire diamond is accompanied by a full GIA Report. Treated diamonds usually have one or more of the following characteristics: a change that is not permanent, special care needed for maintenance, and /or applied material that is not intrinsic to the natural diamond. Bellataire diamonds have none of these characteristics. In fact, the process that restores Bellataire diamonds to their original state in many ways alters rough diamonds less than the processes of cleaving, laser-shaping, polishing, and acid boiling, among others, that are accepted activities necessary for transforming rough to polished.
The application of technology to the diamond manufacturing process has had a long history. Accepted technologies alter the original, natural, rough diamond crystal in many significant ways, changing its number of pieces, color, shape, size, and internal purity. As the most recent technology to be employed, HPHT simply restores misaligned crystal to its intrinsic color, impacting the diamond’s natural state far less than the technologies that have preceded it. In fact, HPHT processing can be seen as actually restoring a diamond to its most essential natural condition. HPHT is simply one new process joining the many long-established processes that have allowed progress to be made and technology to maximize the beauty and minimize the cost of gem-quality diamonds.
