WHAT IS A BLACK DIAMOND?

Black diamonds are diamonds with a very high number of inclusions. While inclusions on a regular white or colorless diamond may show up as tiny dark specks, at extremely high levels, the diamond appears completely black. Thus, you have a black diamond.

This makes it a very unique and rare kind of colored diamond. Black diamonds differ from other fancy colored diamonds, as these colored diamonds are usually formed by chemical impurities present during the diamonds composition. Black diamonds, however, are more similar to white diamonds than yellow or blue diamonds, for example.

BLACK DIAMONDS AS A UNIQUE ALTERNATIVE FOR ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Black diamonds are an unconventional choice for engagement rings, but if you pull it off you can show a unique fashion sense meshed with elegance.

TYPES OF BLACK DIAMONDS

Black diamonds come in two main types: natural black diamonds and diamonds that have been treated to become black. Like with almost all gemstones, the first type diamonds that have a natural black appearance are significantly more valuable and desirable.

Treated black diamonds are less valuable than their natural counterparts. These are white diamonds with a high number of inclusions and fractures, and often a dull grey appearance. In their initial state, these diamonds are nearly worthless, and only used for industrial purposes.

Once subjected to heat, pressure and irradiation treatments, its possible to induce a black hue, resulting in a black diamond. 

In comparison, natural black diamonds get their color during the creation process, with no external interference. These too have a lot of inclusions present, however their inclusions form graphite clusters, which gives the stone a black, metallic appearance.

The organic way in which natural black diamonds are created means they are extremely rare, and thus quite valuable much more so than artificially treated black diamonds.
