Blue diamonds are very rare and very expensive. In order for them to be real blue they must be found naturally and color enhanced blue diamond is treated with heat and chemicals.

It all depends on the 4 C’s; cut, carat weight and clarity. You will need to do some research in order to decide what to buy.
How much is a natural blue diamond worth?
The value of a natural blue diamond can vary greatly depending on factors such as size, color intensity, clarity, and cut.

Simple answer is no, not even close. Blue diamonds command values of $100,000 USD per carat and are considered the second most valuable gemstone per carat. Recently a blue diamond was auctioned and sold for $1,349,752 *per carat*. That was a new record in value. I've attached two links below - one to the article about the blue diamond auctioned, and another to a site that sells lab grown blue diamonds. The lab grown blue diamonds are real blue diamonds but not mined, and make an interesting counterpart to your question in that lab grown blue diamonds are less money per carat than a top grade natural sapphire. I am assuming you were really asking about natural vs. natural though.
