What are black diamonds? These striking stones are one of the toughest forms of natural diamond! These diamonds have so many inclusions (clusters of untransformed graphite or pyrite) that they appear entirely black. While black fancy diamonds may symbolize purity, love, and eternity, they also emanate charisma and intensity. Above all, black diamonds are said to absorb and deflect negative energy. While they may not be traditional, they are certainly eye-catching and glamorous.
Black diamonds, also known as carbonado, are a unique type of diamond that is completely opaque, exhibiting a dark, intense black color. This color comes from inclusions of graphite, pyrite, and other minerals.
Are black diamonds real diamonds?
Absolutely! Black diamonds are not only real diamonds, they are extremely rare. They get their black color from inclusions made primarily of graphite or receive a treatment process that enhances their color.
Can black diamonds be used in engagement rings?
Of course! Black diamonds offer a unique and bold alternative to traditional colorless diamonds. Their distinctive appearance is great for those seeking something different for their engagement ring.
