-
A Russian Blue Diamond is manufactured using combinations of gems mined in Siberia, according to russianbluediamonds.com, the website of TK Italia Importing &Manufacturing.

-
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
-
The process for manufacturing simulated diamonds starts with raw gemstones heated to temperatures exceeding 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Manufacturing Results
-
The result is glittery stones with clarity and durability similar to those of a natural diamond.
About the Russian Blue Diamond Inventor
-
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 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.
