Have you considered a black diamond ring or a necklace adorned with stunning black diamonds? This is an unusual choice, yet one that is undeniably striking. These diamonds lend themselves well to the popular gothic style, yet they can also be suited to modern jewellery as well. And, one of the great things about black diamonds is that they are more affordable than the other colours that are available, and this is because there is a relatively low demand for them.

However, it is important to note that not all black diamonds are natural. A lot of those available on the market have been treated with a heat treatment in order to achieve the dark and striking shade. But, how do natural black diamonds occur? These stones are primarily opaque, and there colour is caused by criss-crossing assures that contain black deposits. It is rare to find black diamonds that are semi-transparent or translucent. The metallic sheen and incredible lustre of a black diamond impresses, and occurs because there is no prismatic play with this type of diamond.
