Blue nuance is caused by the presence of excess boron resulting from HPHT growth. Lab diamonds with blue nuance will have a slight blueish tinge and have limited to no resale value.

Learn the Truth About Lab Grown Diamonds
The process to grow diamonds in a laboratory is very similar to the geological growth process. In other words, diamonds are grown above the Earth by recreating the conditions below the Earth where carbon crystallizes into diamond. Thus, the same types of inclusions and imperfections present in mined diamonds can also occur in lab diamonds.
Read MoreWhile synthetic diamond is a commonly used term for a laboratory-grown diamond, Ada Diamonds contends that synthetic diamond is not a scientifically accurate term for lab created diamonds, as there is no synthesis required to grow a diamond in a laboratory. Diamonds are merely a form of carbon, not a complex molecule synthesized from multiple precursor elements.
Read MoreThere is no such thing as a fake diamond. There are just diamond simulants and diamonds. Ada Diamonds refuses to sell diamond simulants such as cubic zirconia or moissanite, as diamond simulants are cheap, inferior facsimiles of diamonds.
